No interpretation needed of deaf woman's profanity

No interpretation was necessary when a deputy asked a deaf woman suspected of domestic battery to provide a written statement.

She wrote an explicit profanity in response, according to a report.

The deputy was at 2239 Gold Road on Thursday night to investigate a domestic battery complaint. The victim told him that his wife, Heather Smith, 33, had woken him up and began arguing with him in sign language.

At one point, Smith grew irate and grabbed a pot of spaghetti and threw it at her husband's head, a report states, before kicking him in the groin.

After taking the husband's statement, the deputy asked Smith for her side of the story and Smith requested an interpreter. None were available at that moment, so the deputy wrote a note explaining as much and asked for a written statement. She responded with the profanity.

When the deputy turned to speak with her husband, Smith reportedly threw an alcoholic drink that struck the victim in the chest. She was subsequently arrested on suspicion of domestic battery.

Why is that when a man is a victim of abuse. It is his
fault? Or he must of done something? He was sleeping for crying out loud.

The woman threw an alcolholic drink at him in front of the cop.

I think that the woman was drunk and acting like an idiot!

Yea, I agree. We dont know what happened so we can only speculate but the woman was apparently in the wrong for her violent behavior.

As someone who has suffered domestic violence at the hands of another woman, I really don't think its necessary for the man to have done anything at all.
