 Woman caught huffing from inhalant behind Dumpster

People just couldn't seem to get along over the Independence Day holiday, with police reporting five incidences of family violence. One report involved a man beating his 65-year-old wife and interfering with an emergency call to police. She went to her sister's house and called 911. Officers went to the address where the assault occurred and the man complained of chest pains and was taken to a hospital. No major injuries were reported but officers made several assault arrests.
