Florida woman accused of attacking husband after he refused to stop passing gas in bed

PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida -- A Florida woman was arrested after police say she attacked her husband for passing gas.

According to a police report, it was around 3:30 a.m. on December 11th when an officer responded to a domestic battery call at a home on SW Sadwick Avenue in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

According to WPTV, an officer learned from a man at the home that he had been lying in bed with his wife, when he passed gas.

The wife, identified as 55-year-old Dawn Meikle, apparently became upset and began elbowing her husband. When he continued to pass gas, Meikle continued elbowing and even kicking him, police say.

The man indicated he tried to restrain his wife to protect himself, and inadvertently, her lip was split open.

Police say Meikle's husband suffered several six-to-eight-inch scratches across his chest, and his shirt was ripped in three places.

Meikle admitted to police that she elbowed and punched her husband because she had repeatedly told him to stop passing gas in bed.

Meikle was charged with domestic battery and taken to jail.
