Wedding brawl ends in arrest

By Maria J. Flora maria@jrpress.com

A wedding day brawl ended in the groom being hauled to jail still kicking, police said. Police were twice called to the Ramada Limited where the arguing couple was spending their wedding night last week, according to court records.

Angela Tripp was still in her wedding dress when police arrived, Crawfordsville Police Lt. Harvey Barton said in a probable cause affidavit. Her husband Travis R. Lee, 30, was wearing jeans and offered their ripped-in-half marriage license as identification, Barton said.

Angela’s neck was red and she told police Travis hit and choked her after, but she would not sign a statement, according to court records.

The couple visited a friend’s house after their wedding, but Travis left the house, Barton said. Angela went drinking at two downtown bars and later found Travis at the friend’s house, according to court records.

Barton said Lee punched him in the face then fought the six officers who tried to subdue him. Lee refused to walk and had to be carried to the squad car, where he continued to fight, according to court records. Police said they had to drag him from the car into the jail.

Barton reported that in all, Travis: hit and spit on Barton, kicked Crawfordsville Police Corporal Neil Barclay’s inner thigh, kicked Officer David Long’s chest and fought Montgomery County Officers Grant Snyder and Chad Kendricks.

Travis is charged in Montgomery County Superior Court with: battery on a law enforcement officer, battery by bodily waste, resisting law enforcement and two counts of resisting law enforcement, causing injury.

Remember Bridezilla from a few years ago? The gal that went apesh*t at her wedding reception? Now, there's Groomzilla (unless you count Michael Schaivo as the first one).

"battery by bodily waste" . . . . .

Now there's a cute little legal euphenism for spitting.

Wow. I guess the commercials ARE true. Only SMART people stay at Holiday Inn Express hotels, LOL!

Mmmmhmmm. Well, let's open up the official FR book, and set the over/under on the marriage at...eight months. Takers?

"Angela's neck was red. . ."

Understatement of the year.

Probably where she met the groom.

My guess is, it may already be too late...

My Hispanic in-laws tell me that a wedding is considered to be pretty dull unless somebody gets arrested or shot.
