Woman arrested after allegedly assaulting husband
An Athens woman was arrested recently after she allegedly assaulted her husband while he was in bed asleep.
Xiaolin Li, 58, 320 Caldwell Circle, was charged with battery under the Family Violence Act.
According to the report, when officers arrived, Mrs. Li told them that everything was fine, that she and her husband were just arguing. When they entered the residence to speak with her husband, he immediately asked them to take him to jail so he could get away from her. After being told to calm down, he told officers he was in bed asleep when his wife came into the bedroom arguing, saying she thought he was having an affair. She then began to kick and hit him with her fist. He said the only way he could keep her off of him was to hold a knife between them while he called 911.
The man did have visible red marks on his legs and bite marks on his hand.
Mrs. Li was asked several times if she had been hit and she continued to say everything was “fine,” until she was arrested and taken to jail.
