'He's Mad...He's Got The Gun': GOP OH State Sen's Wife Calls Cops On Her Husband (AUDIO)
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/07/hes_madhes_got_the_gun_gop_oh_state_sens_wife_call.php
A dark drama unfolded in Delaware County, Ohio last week. It involved a freshman Republican state Senator, his wife (who also happens to be the County Recorder), one of the family's guns and whispered, frantic calls to 911.
No charges were filed, but the scandal is putting allegations of domestic violence on State Sen. Kris Jordan -- one of the slew of Republicans elected in Ohio in November who pushed through Gov. John Kasich's (R) union-busting SB5 bill.
Progressive-leaning blog Plunderbund first reported the story Tuesday. By Tuesday night, the Columbus Dispatch had picked it up.
These are the details :
On July 11, Jordan's wife, Melissa, called 911 late in the evening. She immediately hung up after an emergency dispatcher answers. The Dispatch described what happened when 911 operators called back:
"Just please get somebody here ... My husband, please."
"This is the first time I've called," she said. "He's done this a lot. I can't put up with this anymore."
"He's had some drinks," she said. "He was pushing me around, throwing stuff. Because I called you, he wants - he says it's over."
Plunderbund posted the audio of the calls, which include this bit from Melissa Jordan, transcribed by the Dispatch:
Melissa Jordan told the dispatcher that there were guns in the home and that one had been taken from its usual spot but was in a separate room.
"He's mad; he's got the gun," she whispered. "I don't want anybody here."
Both Jordans have concealed carry permits, Plunderbund reports, and Melissa later told dispatchers that "he never threatened her with a gun." But she did say that Kris "started arguing with her and pushing around."

Eventually, Melissa Jordan told the operator she didn't want police to come to the house. She also declined to press charges and told the Dispatch the whole thing has been worked out.
"I love my husband," she told the paper. "We had a disagreement. We have talked through it and we're both committed to each other and we're working on strengthening our relationship even more."

@ R, you better hope she doesn't see your last post...Hehe
My wife is going through menopause. She ain’t got nothing on my wife. I sleep with one eye open and a gun under my pillow. I call her Sybil (not to her face)
Well now that is certainly one way of looking at it. One of many.
It sounds like an angry woman who, after a minor argument, found the ideal way to completely destroy her husband. She apparently knew all the right buttons to push when calling 911.
This is a "missing piece story".
This is a "missing piece story".
Of course he is......
He is all about family values I see. POS
OMG...She is in TOTAL DENIAL.....He has her so scared...Poor thing. I hope she eventually finds the courage to leave him before it gets any worse
