A 72-year-old Villager was arrested late Sunday night after a brawl with her husband after a Super Bowl party.
Sumter County sheriff’s deputies were called at 11:03 p.m. to a home in the Village of Penecamp where a 70-year-old man complained that he had been slapped by Susan Bays Johnson.
“Yeah, I hit him and I hope he burns in hell,” Johnson told deputies.
She appeared to be “heavily intoxicated” and said she had consumed three glasses of wine and two cosmos while at a Super Bowl party. Johnson said she and her husband had been “arguing continuously throughout the night.”
The couple had come home from the party and “were verbally arguing about how the neighbors need to know God,” the arrest report said.
Johnson grabbed a picture from the wall and “slammed it onto a glass coffee table resulting in both items shattering,” the deputy wrote in the arrest report. That’s when the Kentucky native allegedly slapped the man.
She was arrested on a charge of battery on a person over the age of 65 and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center. Bond was set at $2,000.
