 Baltimore County police have charged a Howard County police captain with two counts of first degree assault on her husband.
Police charging documents show that Tara Nelson and her husband got into an argument last Saturday at their Woodstock home. Nelson's husband told police the two were fighting over some receipts she found in the car for dinner and a hotel stay.
"It's Marsha again, isn't it, John? Dinner for two at Arby's and the Motel 6! How could you!"
"Now, honey...!" |
The documents show that Nelson then got into her vehicle and ran over her husband's motorcycle several times.
The victim says the suspect also tried to run him over in the driveway of the family's home.
| "Okay! Run over the Harley! I'm gettin' outta here!" |
The charging documents also show that Captain Nelson's husband claims his wife put her service weapon to his head to force him to sign a contract to sell their house.
"Okay. I'll sign! I'll sign!"
"Maybe Marsha will take you in!"
"Not with the Harley gone!" |
The suspect told the investigating officer that her husband has mental problems.
"Nope. Nope. Never happened. He's nutz!"
"Then what happened to the Harley, chief?" |
Captain Tara Nelson is the head of the Howard County Police Department's Criminal Investigation Bureau.
| "Don't you guys worry about it! I'm on the case!" |
