Billy Graham's daughter spends night in jail after 'throttling' her husban
Billy Graham's daughter spends night in jail after 'throttling' her husband
By Andrew Buncombe in Washington
Published: 10 July 2005

The daughter of the evangelist Billy Graham, herself a public speaker and author of religious books, has been arrested and charged with domestic violence after choking her husband in a car park.

Police in Florida arrested Virginia Foreman and made her spend a night in jail after witnesses saw the 59-year-old woman push her husband to the ground and take hold of him by the throat. The man was not badly hurt and told officers there was no need to arrest his wife - a view the police did not share.

"The defendant intentionally struck the victim against his will. The victim and the defendant are currently married, making this domestic violence," read the police report.

The report said the couple had been arguing while they were in their gold-coloured Ford Mustang near New Smyrna Beach. To avoid an altercation, Mr Foreman stopped the vehicle, put it into neutral and got out. His wife pursued him and grabbed him by the throat.

1. Uh, aren't the evangicals big believers in...
... the husband being the head of the household, and that wives should subjugate themselves to their husbands, because that is what is directed in the Bible?

I'm shocked, frankly. :P

3. Yeah, she doesn't look like the type to submit to hubby.
I think she'd be more at home with a dominatrix getup.

He'd just told her he really voted for Kerry in the last election and she was trying to exorcise the democratic beast from him!!! God loving man can't be no Democrat....
