Dispute over board game ends with three counts of assault, resisting arrest against wife

[Sherman A1]

A Rogersville woman is facing multiple charges after she allegedly lost her temper while playing a board game, hit her husband, and then fought police who responded to the incident.

On Dec. 20 shortly after 3 a.m. Rogersville Police Department Officer Eric Pease responded to a domestic assault complaint at the apartment complex at 701 Dennis Drive.

The alleged victim stated that his wife, Madison Lee Collins, was intoxicated and became irate while they were sitting and playing a board game.

The husband stated that Collins, 22, turned the table over and started striking him on the side of the head.

5. I noted that as well

We will just have to imagine a dispute of Monopoly (did she Pass GO) or Settlers of Catan (or was unwilling to trade sheep for wood)?

My mother-in-law desperately needs to be arrested when she plays defensively.

Sorry.
