When they returned to the friend’s home, the report states the woman started yelling at her husband and then allegedly began hitting and scratching him. The Oakland County Sheriff’s deputy that authored the report said he observed bleeding, redness and scratches on the husband.

When he first tried to contact authorities, the man said his wife had knocked the phone from his hand. He added that this had been a growing trend with his wife and he wished to press charges. The friend whose home this all took place at, a woman, confirmed the husband’s story.

Officers later saw the wife walking down the sidewalk. According to the report, she told officers she did hit her husband. According to the report, she said her husband wished to cheat on her with the aforementioned friend and that she wanted to kill him and/or bite off his genitals. She was then taken to the Oakland County Jail on charges of assault.

Harassing texts and calls

An Oxford woman came to the Oakland County Sheriff’s office in Oxford on Feb. 6 to report a series of harassing texts and calls from an old friend. She told officers the man, a 37-year-old Lake Orion resident, had been friends with her for about 10 years and they had dated a little. She said after she broke it off, the man reportedly began calling and texting her in excess. The report states the woman had received over 100 calls and “hundreds” of texts from the man in the span of a week.
