Back at the house on Trianon Place, Laura Van Winkle appeared uninjured and was less forthcoming, saying she did not want to deal with media attention but wants a divorce, according to a deputy's report. She said her husband had not hit or kicked her, but had pushed her.
"He started yelling at me for going out to buy a bedroom set. In front of my daughter," she told a deputy, the arrest report says. "I'm sorry I can't say any more until I talk to an attorney."
Her husband, in turn, told deputies that he and his wife had been arguing since the previous day.
He said his wife is bipolar and takes medication but still has irrational and argumentative episodes and had thrown a picture frame from a rear balcony to the ground, where it shattered near him and their 8- and 10-year-old children.
He denied pushing his wife, the report says. He said he left on his motorcycle so they could cool down.
