MASSILLON OHIO- A 51-year-old man is accused of urinating on his wife and threatening to shoot her with a crossbow, police said.
George M. Wise of 318 Fourth St. NE faces two counts of felonious assault and domestic violence. He is free on bond, Municipal Court records show.
Police said Wise also struck his stepdaughter, who tried to wrestle away the crossbow and was cut on the forearm by an arrow.
Wise, believing his wife was having an affair, began to urinate on the 34-year-old woman as she slept in bed at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday, according to a police complaint filed in Municipal Court.
She woke up and yelled.
Wise went to retrieve the crossbow and returned to find his wife and stepdaughter, who had heard the shouting, in the bedroom, records show.
He loaded the weapon, according to police.
“He then pointed the crossbow at the victim (his wife) and she believed he was going to shoot her,” the arrest warrant shows.
The couple had been drinking, police said. He later told officers in jail he had “screwed up,” police said.
