A Village of Fenney woman was arrested after an alleged scissor attack of her husband over “marital issues.”
Wildwood police were called shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday to the home of 60-year-old Theresa Ann Barton at 5841 Graham Court. Her husband told police that his wife took a pair of garden scissors from him and “struck him multiple times with them,” according to an arrest report.
He said that he and his wife were “having a verbal altercation in reference to marital issues that has been going on for some time,” the officer wrote in the report.
Barton said she had learned her husband was attempting to remove her from his bank accounts.
“She became visibly upset,” the report said.
Barton, who stands 5 feet tall and weighs 130 pounds, admitted she pushed her husband “because of how upset she was.”
The North Carolina native was arrested on a charge of battery. She was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center where she was initially held without bond.
