WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla., Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said a late-night drunken brawl between a couple began when the husband got out of bed to use the restroom and missed the toilet.
Pasco County Sheriff's deputies said they arrived at the mobile home of Deanne Elsholz, 44, and David Elsholz, 50, in Wesley Chapel late Monday night and found both spouses drunk and with slightly different accounts of the evening's confrontation, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported Thursday.
Deanne told deputies she asked her husband what he was doing when she heard his urine splashing on the floor and he struck her in the head with a towel. She said she then threw the glass that struck him in the nose, causing blood to flow onto his chest and arms.
The deputies' report says Deanne then "ran into the bathroom and slipped on David's pee." She then claims he kicked her in the ribs while she was on the ground.
David's account differs in that he denies hitting his wife with the towel, saying she threw the glass at him while he was attempting to go back to bed. He also made no mention of kicking his wife.
Deanne Elsholz was deemed the aggressor in the conflict and arrested for domestic battery, a charge David has faced twice in recent years. Deputies said she was examined by a doctor who determined her ribs were not injured.
