I, James Hardy, was outside in my backyard doing some work when I heard Paul and Mary Sue Jones arguing in their house. Mary Sue was yelling at Paul and then I heard glass breaking and it sounded like furniture being moved and some other noises. They continued to yell and scream and Mary Sue said she was calling the cops and that Paul wasn’t going to get away with it this time. A short time later Paul came out the back door. He didn’t have a shirt on and he looked upset and he was mumbling to himself. I couldn’t hear what he was saying but I saw that he was rubbing his right hand like he hurt it. When Paul saw me outside he came over to the fence and said that Mary Sue was really crazy tonight and that she was trying to get him arrested. I asked him what happened and he told me that she fell down and was trying to blame it on him. He told me all he wanted to do was watch the game and she just wouldn’t stop. I asked him what broke and he said that she fell over the coffee table. I didn’t ask him if he hit her, but I noticed that he kept holding and rubbing his right hand like it hurt.

I have lived next to them for more than five years and they do have their arguments on occasion but this is the first time I remember it getting this bad. Paul did not say that he hit Mary Sue and I did not see anything before Paul came outside.
