We had a wonderful police department in Bloomingdale, Illinois and the Sumter County Sheriff's office is even tougher.
Yes, there are great holes in this story. He could have had previous charges on his record for domestic violence. I also agree that many many battered women would not speak against their husbands or boyfriends. And I know in Chicago, from a girlfriend, that even when she did not want to press charges against a boyfriend, it didn't matter. The State pressed the charges.
I say good for the Sheriff's office! :bigthumbsup:

I absolutely agree Chelsea!! The story seems strange....right from the beginning I wondered. I was surprised that anyone "flew out on the lanai from opening the slider at the same time".
Plus, My grandfather who raised me was a police officer for 37 years. It is really hard for me not to root for them, even though many now are not cut from the same cloth.
You know the old line, if it looks like...........and smells like........
