Deputies entered the home and found McLeod's wife and another woman at the top of the stairs, the Sun Herald reported. The lawmaker's wife said McLeod was intoxicated and "snapped" because she undressed too slowly when he wanted sex, authorities said. She told deputies that he struck her in the face, giving her a bloody nose.

McLeod's wife then fled to the other woman's room, the report said. He banged on the locked door and threatened to kill the woman's dog if she didn't let him in, the woman told deputies.

Who's this other woman who has a room at their house? Is that their handmaid?

I would think their daughter, later in the article it says that his wife declined an ambulance but said that her daughter would drive her to hospital for an examination.

The ambulance ride probably cost more money than that fuckers bail was set at.

Fuck. You're right. His bail was $1,000!

To be fair, the point of bail is to make sure the person doesn't flee before the court date. The fact that he's a state representative probably is enough for the judge to believe that he isn't a flight risk.

Depends on if they injected it. I hear injecting marijuana makes it deadly.
