Something about this story doesn't sound right. According to the story, the man had to do community service and pay a fine. This sounds like it went to court and he was found guilty by a judge who assessed a punishment. The police can not just decide to impose these penalties. For this to happen, I would hope that all evidence was heard. If the wife went to court and argued for her husband's case, then this is a travesty of justice since there would be absolutely no evidence to convict this man. However, perhaps the real story is that it went to court and the wife argued against her husband in which case, perhaps, justice was served.
