John Wayne Bobbitt in new domestic dispute - arrested charged with battery on his current wife

LAS VEGAS -- A man whose domestic troubles gained notoriety when his then-wife cut off his penis in an argument 12 years ago has been arrested and charged with battery on his current wife.

John Wayne Bobbitt, 38, filed for divorce Monday following his arrest last weekend on a domestic battery charge involving Joanna Ferrell, Bobbitt's lawyer said Wednesday.

It was at least the third arrest for Bobbitt in Las Vegas involving Ferrell. He posted $10,132 bond and was freed Tuesday from jail, police said.

Bobbitt was arrested Saturday morning after he was accused of chasing Ferrell, 40, and pushing her to the ground outside his moving company job in an industrial section of Las Vegas.

Bobbitt's lawyer, Barry Levinson, said Bobbitt was falsely charged after an argument about money. Bobbitt filed for divorce under the name John W. Ferrell, which Levinson said Bobbitt has been using.

Bobbitt's penis was surgically reattached after the 1993 attack. His then-wife, Lorena, was found innocent by reason of insanity after arguing that Bobbitt had abused her.

Bobbitt was acquitted of a domestic violence charge after an August 2004 incident involving Joanna Ferrell. She filed for divorce but the two reconciled.

Bobbitt was convicted in February 2003 of battery involving Ferrell. The conviction prompted a judge to revoke probation and sentence Bobbitt to prison for his role in a 1999 theft at a store in northern Nevada.

I had just posted the story about the gal who decided to use pruning shears on her estranged husband, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1489066/posts.

I had thought of Bobbitt but wanted to check the spelling of his name and did a search and low and behold guess how is in trouble again and with his current wife. Did he not learn a thing from his first psycho wife, although with his record maybe there was something to her reasoning, while WRONG .. he does not seem to be a very sound husband material.

Well, it's like they say, "the appendage never falls far from the.....". No, that's not it.

I think they re-attached his 'member' on top of his shoulders and stuck his head somewhere dark and dank.

Man, you'd think that after getting his pecker cut off, he'd learn a little bit.

When he is 6 feet under. I mean really, if he is an abuser there is no telling what the wife might do and if she does the worst the jury would feel for her.

However, now that I think about it, they would just say she should have left ... and there is no defense for any self defense ... well I think if he hurt her than yes but if she goes back she has herself to blame ... but still she has the right to defend herself ... jut do not know how a jury would judge her.

His "psycho wife" may not have been that psychotic. She sounds like she had a good reason to do a little pruning.
