Arrested for attempted theft and criminal mischeif

undefinedWhat is the name of your state?New Hampshire...

I need some serious help. My husband was arrested last friday night for criminal mischeif and attempted theft. Sorry to write a book but bare with me please.

Last Friday we went over a friends to watch the Red Sox game. My husband got severly intoxicated. He walked down the road and after several attempts(by friends and myself) he would not come back. I walked back to the house and 10 min later I heard all the sirens.

To no avail my husband had been transported to the hospital. When I arrived he was in X-ray and I could not see him. A cop came out and told me what I dreaded to hear.

My husband had broken out a window in a guys truck and picked a fight with him when the guy confronted him. The guy beat him severly.

Now I know what you must be thinking..he deserved it but..my husband is not a violent person. He cares for my 2 children while I am at work. He has more respect for vehicles(his or someone elses) than me.

My husband had no bruises, cuts or tears on his hands. He was carrying no weapon. He was also so severly intoxicated that the drs said he was in a comatose state. He also has glass fragments in the top of his head and he has deep cuts across his eyebrows. He also endured orbital fractures that are going to require reconstructive surgery. I was told this was done with a fist. Call me crazy but something doesn't sound right. There were no witnesses and my husband does not recall anything.

What should I do?

Help him obtain an attorney. Although, he may be "lucky" and the DA may decide that his drubbing would be sufficient punishemtn.

What is it that you want to do? There's nobody to sue. If your husband did as they claim, then it's likely he will be seen as the aggressor.

"My husband got severly intoxicated. He walked down the road and after several attempts(by friends and myself) he would not come back. I walked back to the house and 10 min later I heard all the sirens."

So you let your "severly intoxicated" hubby just wander around on his own? Where was he trying to go and why weren't you worried about him? Your lack of concern implies that he has been in that state before and somehow stumbled back home, right? You let him watch the kids?

Stephen, Stephen, Stephen!

Trailer trash don't see anything wrong with a scenario like this - - least of all our original writer.

I originally thought, by previously reading previous posting replies, that I would receive the same treatment and be taken seriously, as is everyone else. I was proven wrong.

Steven: I did not let my husband walk around and not be concerned. If you read, (unless you are illeraterate or have difficulty interpreting what I wrote) I clearly stated that after several attempts by myself and friends, we could not get my husband back into the house. That does not show concern? One of my levels of concern, was that clearly he was headed to jail and I wasn't looking to accompany him because of the kids.

Why didn't you call the police then? That may have avoided what happened, in the future, realize your husband has a drinking problem, for that reason, the whole family has a drinking problem, let this be a wakeup call and get help. Please rethink allowing him to watch your children.

In Boston, he would have been one of many roudy fans, but not in your neck of the woods. Headbutting a pickup is never a fair match.

Isn't Carl cool!!
Thank you Carl for giving good sound advice!!!
I just thought I would let you know that you are a VERY IMPORTANT member of this board!!
Thanks!

The police were called before I had gotten back to the house.

Yeah my husband has a drinking problem. He cannot hold his liquor. In fact, this is the first time he has been drunk in 4 years.

Head butt the truck oh aren't you the funny one.

And thanks but I am positive that my kids are safe with him.

I don't anyone to advice me that you guys judgemental and awful self confident.

Just think it would not be as comical if it had happened to you.

[Who's Liable?]

Get an attorney(pay out the a$$ for him), send your husband to AA(you admitted he has a problem) and watch him around yourself or your kids...
And when Christmas comes and you have no money to buy gifts for your kids(it all went to the attorney), give him the biggest guilt trip ever.

You are right. It does not show concern. You left your severly drunk husband out on the street to face whatever may come his way - mugger, hit by car, pass out and injure himself, etc. What would you have done if you weren't concerned?

With a wife like you, I hope he has a large life insurance policy at least for the kids' sake.

Actually, rmet - New Hampshire is also Red Sox country.

I know that but he would have been part of a riot in Boston, in NH he was a one man riot. Obviously this family has more problems than his behavior following a game.

You people aren't worth the toilet paper I wipe my ass with...
