Florida man throws Christmas tree at wife after being asked to help with dinner

Atchison, 52, "lost his temper" in the couple's Fruitland Park home Monday evening after his wife asked for help and put a spoon in the sink, accidentally splashing him with water, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 35 Orlando.

Atchison packed his things and went outside to his vehicle, before returning home because "he had been drinking" and told his wife to leave instead.

When the wife tried to go, deputies say Atchison shoved her, picked up a Christmas tree that was in the corner of the room and threw it at her, striking her. He then allegedly blocked the front door to prevent her from leaving.

“”before returning home because “he had been drinking”””

I think the reporters are doing their fair share of drinking... How about “went back inside”

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

“Anyone who wants to buy a Christmas tree should first have to pass a background check.”

Assault trees since they have multiple branches?

Well some guys are pretty adamant about that “woman’s place is in the kitchen” clause...

My general rule of thumb is when my husband throws the Christmas Tree at me, the FIRST call after 911 is to my Lawyer.

But, I’m kinda mean that way. ;)

Merry Christmas, Darling! Happy New Year in the Slammer!

Do the Feats of Strength come before or after the Airing of Grievances? Sounds like he was trying to kill two birds with one tree.

I’ll bet, when he got out of jail, she welcomed him home with open arms.

If she were wise, she'd "welcome" him home with loaded arms... one in each hand.

You have to admire Florida Man’s initiative.

Anoreth works as a statistician now, and she’s getting married on Saturday to a nice man with a job.

Was this a National Lampoon Christmas Vacation tree or a Charlie Brown Christmas tree?

:-)

“I’m leaving!”

“On second thought, you’re leaving!”

“No, wait, you can’t leave!”

The song just fit so well.
