A man strangled and abused his wife and blamed it on a ridiculous reason. Find out the ridiculous reason in this article.

A man strangled and abused his wife and blamed it on a ridiculous reason.  I was so shocked by the reason that I wanted to share this story with you.

The news
A man named Michael West (41) was arrested for battery, strangulation, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.  Michael West was charged with domestic abuse for strangling and abusing his wife.

Michael West told the Wisconsin police that a ghost attacked his wife and was responsible for her injuries.  When the police arrived, they found Michael’s wife Rebecca crying and bleeding from the attack. 

Rebecca told the police that Michael punched her several times in her face and attempted to strangle her.  She was at a point where her vision was altered and she thought she was going to faint.  Michael was intoxicated and yelling at the police.  He claimed that Rebecca fell and that was how she got the bruises.

When the police asked Michael about the bruises on Rebecca’s neck, he told them a ghost did it.  Michael resisted arrest at first, but he was eventually taken into custody.  Rebecca told the police that the fight started because their house is about to go on foreclosure.

My thoughts
Michael West obviously needs to stop drinking if it causes him to strangle and abuse his wife.  He also needs to stop drinking if he thought a ghost was the one who strangled Rebecca.  I can only imagine what the police were thinking when he told them that a ghost strangled his wife.  They must have thought he was crazy.

I wonder if Rebecca will press charges against Michael.  Hopefully she won’t let him get away with attacking her like this.  If she lets him get away with it, who knows what will happen the next time he attacks her.

What are your thoughts on this man strangling and abusing his wife?  Do you think he should be punished for attacking her?  Do you believe that a ghost strangled Rebecca?
