In Virginia, a 64-year-old man was charged after he taped his wife to a chair in the basement so he could watch football upstairs.

Terry Ward was arrested last Sunday night in Richmond after officers responded to a domestic call.

According to the criminal complaint, his wife said he used tape to restrain her to a chair in the basement.

Ward admitted he tied her up and left her there.

She had marks and tape residue on both arms and told police she had been restrained for up to 45 minutes.

He faces felony abduction and misdemeanor assault on a family member.

He is due in court on November 10.

If he was here illegally, he would get free anger management courses and a stipend to afford attending the sessions. A free subsidies benefit review, too. Perhaps housing, utility assistance, free Healthcare, free mass transit passes.

Yet more evidence to NEVER GET MARRIED !

The reason so many young men have stopped dating and getting married is their desire for PEACE in their lives.

He was sentenced to life in hard labor. In other words, they sent him back home to live with his wife.

I just learned something about internet search, “baby duct taped to wall” gets one type of result, and “wife duct taped to wall” gets an entirely different type of result.
