The arguing got to the point where she said she stayed at a female friend’s house the night before and received threatening messages from her husband.She said the assault happened when she picked him up from work the next day.“I drove him to Walmart where he attempted to take my car keys,” she recalled, noting that after the assault she drove home, grabbed her bag and walked to a stop sign where she called 911 to report the assault.
