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.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go.

(It was an ugly tree anyway.)

He then allegedly blocked the front door to prevent her from leaving.

There's still love there!

Either that, or he doesn't want her to take the dog.

You don’t really want to eat food prepared by an angry unstable person.

I used to go get a burger …

[EEGator]

She was asking for it...

[JBW1949]

Nah.....She hadn’t finished his dinner....

There's still love there!

Either that, or he doesn't want her to take the dog.

There's a good country song in all this.

He seems a little tense.

Something tells me its about more than just the tree.

Lucky the fryin pan didnt get a return flight his way.

Anyone who wants to buy a Christmas tree should first have to pass a background check.
This story is just more evidence that I’m correct.

And the same goes for Festivus poles. They can be dangerous, too.

“I’m leaving! No wait, I’m drunk, you leave! No, please don’t leave!”

This guy is all over the place.

“It’s Christmas, Clark. Everyone is miserable..”

[Boogieman]

“And the same goes for Festivus poles. They can be dangerous, too.”

But if these were Festivus celebrants all of this could have been settled during the Airing of Grievances, or, failing that, the Feats of Strength.

Hey Griswold, where do you think you’re gonna put a tree that big?” Clark: “Bend over and I’ll show you.”

Yeah, I think I see his problem. Women hate indecisive men.

[Drew68]

because "he had been drinking"

I suspected from the title that I'd see this line somewhere in the story.

[ClearCase_guy]

Throwing trees would be a good Feat of Strength.

[Old Grumpy]

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