A domestic dispute that began with an argument over a used tampon discarded on the floor ended last night with the arrest of a Coffeyville woman for allegedly battering her husband.
As detailed in a probable cause affidavit, the husband of Carlene Lian Stotch, 39, asked her to speak with her 22-year-old daughter about the discarded tampon. “While discussing the unsanitary nature of leaving used tampons on the floor, the argument became heated,” reported a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputy.
As the dispute transitioned into a “shoving match,” Stotch allegedly scratched her spouse on the side of his face, drawing blood.
Though Stotch’s husband did not want her arrested, investigators determined that she was the “primary aggressor” during the confrontation. As a result, she was arrested on a battery count and booked into the county jail, where bail has yet to be set.
Stotch, seen in the above mug shot, is scheduled for a September 24 court appearance on the misdemeanor charge.
