Fire chief’s husband is taking it all back: He plans to recant saying she struck him on the head
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 6/21/5 | Jaxon Van Derbeken

The husband of San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said Monday that he was recanting his accusation that Hayes-White had struck him on the head with a glass, according to police and the chief's attorney.

Sean White had called 911 Sunday evening to accuse his wife of hitting him, police spokesman Sgt. Neville Gittens said. Investigators said a pint glass was involved and that the incident happened at the couple's home near Stonestown mall.

The couple, who have three children, are in the midst of a separation, police said.

White showed no obvious signs of an injury when officers arrived shortly after 6:20 p.m., police said. Any such indications would have required officers to arrest Hayes-White, 41, on domestic violence charges, police said.

Hayes-White told police that her husband had hit himself over the head with the glass, investigators said.

Jim Collins, the chief's attorney, said Monday that Sean White had called the domestic violence investigator on the case and said he wished to recant his account. Police investigators confirmed Collins' statement.

Police usually drop investigations in such misdemeanor cases if the alleged victim files a written recantation, authorities said. Collins said White was expected to submit his statement as soon as today.

Collins also said that Hayes-White had taken a polygraph test administered by a retired FBI examiner and passed with flying colors. The examination results were to be forwarded to investigators. There is no indication whether the department will have her take such an examination.

If I was married to her, maybe I'd hit myself over the head, too, but I'd never call 911 afterward.

Its all about the money, Jackson.

She could have been fired with that assault on her record, and then the dude would have gotten an anal rape for child support an alimony.

OMG!  If that is her, I'd take the beating as a 'coup de grace' and die happy!

Well, she appears to be less of a girlie-man than her husband--LOL. Wonder which one of them is equipped with the family jewels?

She reminds me of the Cloris Leachman / Nurse Diesel character in "HIgh Anxiety". Or, for that matter the Cloris Leachman role in "Young Frankenstein".

Yeah, I read that. I wonder if the heat was on because of the double standard.

Ugh! I'd fill the pint glass up with beer a few times before hitting myself over the head.

I would rather work with a big boned firefighter than a 103 pounder who couldn't hold a charged line.
