US: Woman attacks her husband at airport when she finds indecent images on his phone
A couple’s vacation to South Carolina was set off course when a woman violently kicked her husband, took a swipe at his face and threw his phone at him after finding indecent photos on it.
Paula Barbour, 55, was charged with third-degree domestic violence following the physical altercation on Wednesday December 21 at Charleston International Airport.
Police responded to an ‘active domestic’ incident at 2:50 pm and broke up the fight before interviewing the couple.
‘The suspect stated that she just wanted to get away from the victim and fly back home,’ a police incident report obtained by WCSC stated. Barbour said they had arrived in South Carolina for vacation, but she saw ‘several indecent photos’ in her husband’s phone, which led to the argument.
The man denied being attacked by Barbour, but surveillance footage pulled by police reportedly showed her kicking her husband, throwing his cellphone and attempting to strike his face.
A scorned Barbour admitted to the assault and was arrested, according to the police report. She was taken to the Al Cannon Detention Center and released a day later on a $5,237 bond.
