Man arrested after fight over Facebook
A Hull man was arrested recently after a domestic dispute that began over what he was viewing on Facebook.
James Russell Foster, 48, 5925 Hwy. 106 South, was charged with criminal trespass after officer Michael Moore was summoned to Foster’s residence twice within 15 minutes.
According to the incident report, the first time that officer Moore went to the residence was for an argument between Foster and his wife. His wife told Moore that Foster took the cable off of the computer so she couldn’t use it. She said the argument started over Foster looking at “18-year old females on Facebook” and he took the cable off so she couldn’t look at his links. Moore advised Foster at that time to put the cables back and for both of them to separate for a while.
A few moments later, officer Moore was summoned back to the residence where this time, Foster reportedly took the battery cables off of his wife’s 1989 Chevrolet van. His wife said he did this after Moore left the first time, before he came back in the house. When Moore spoke with Foster, he admitted that he did take the cables off so that his wife could not leave with the children, but that he had already put them back on. Moore had him open the hood where he observed fresh marks on the bolts holding the cables. At that point, officer Moore arrested Foster for criminal trespass and explained the TPO process to his wife.
