Thanksgiving incident could result in warrant

A 44-year-old Oxford woman and her sister reported an incident to authorities on Nov. 29 shortly before 3 p.m.
According to the pair, a Thanksgiving incident at the woman’s house the night before turned heated following an overflowing coffee mishap.
The woman’s husband of 15 years, a 41-year-old Oxford man, allegedly became verbally abusive toward his wife. Following a continued discussion with his wife’s father and brothers, the man produced a handgun later in the evening, according to the sisters. Leaving the house fearing for their safety, the woman and the couple’s three children spent the night at her sister’s house. The woman’s husband came to this residence, as well, but left without any incident.
All parties involved admitted to consuming alcohol and deputies were able to obtain thorough accounts of the evening from everyone. A report of the incident has been sent to the prosecutor’s office for review and the potential issuance of a warrant for aggravated/felonious assault.
The handgun was properly registered and has been owned by the woman’s husband for “several years.”
