Fort Worth officer arrested in domestic violence case
Yeah they kinda do.
A Fort Worth police officer who was arrested Monday on charges that he assaulted his wife last month at their Arlington home said in a recorded tirade that she needed to be “cut by a razor, set on fire, beat half to death and left to die,” police said.
Cpl. Lawrence Blanchard, 51, was booked into the Tarrant County jail on misdemeanor charges of assault and making a terroristic threat. He was immediately released on bond.
According to an Arlington police arrest affidavit, the incident occurred May 20 when the couple got in an argument over their children.
During the confrontation, which happened in front of four children under the age of five, Blanchard told his 4-year-old son that his mother was “a prostitute, a b****, and not really the child’s mother,” the affidavit said.
Blanchard grabbed his baton from his police duty belt and expanded it, police said.
“She (his wife) stepped out of his way and he went into the living room and struck the coffee table with the baton before putting it down on a chair,” a detective wrote in the arrest warrant.
He also got his gun from the bedroom, unloaded it on the kitchen table, and told her “I’ll kill you,” the warrant said.
But wait there's more he has a case pending for fighting with his kid.A real hero this dude.
I'm sure he hasn't ever jacked up a regular Joe he seems so well adjusted and sane.
I predict the DA does nothing just like they did on his 3 year old case.Being a cop means never having to say you're sorry or face consequences for your actions unlike a citizen.
What a great country.
