Family violence warrants issued for Hull man

Officer Joshua Smith went to the scene on Bedford Drive, where he met with a woman who was limping and complaining of injuries to her leg and who had marks to her throat, which she said were caused by her husband.

The woman said that earlier in the day, her husband had attempted suicide by hanging himself in the backyard with a blue rope. She said she cut him down. Later, as she was feeding her child, her husband allegedly confronted her and asked her why she had cut him down, slapping her in the face as she was holding the child. He then began calling her names and telling her she was “worthless” for cutting him down. He followed her around the house, she said, kicking her in the leg and that he grabbed her around the throat.

She said during the day he also took her cell phone and threw it at her multiple times and hit her son in the eye with the phone as well. She said she eventually took her three kids and went out a bedroom window to get away from him because he was standing in the kitchen with a handgun in his hand. She went to a neighbor’s home where she called 9-1-1. Several officers were called to the scene where a search of the home produced several long guns and a hand gun. A BOLO was issued for the man, advising he might be armed and that he had suicidal tendencies. His wife told officers he might have left the home in a tan 2000 Chevrolet Blazer.
