OAKWOOD, Texas (AP) — The chief of a small Central Texas town's police department has been fired and jailed for allegedly using a Taser gun on his wife.

Former Oakwood police chief Oly Ivy is in Leon County Jail in Centerville on Wednesday, charged with aggravated assault. Bond is $100,000.

Ivy, 30, was arrested near Palestine on Monday. The city council fired him that night.

Ivy's attorney, Charley Johnson, tells KXXV-TV in Waco that his client "is taking these allegations very seriously." He says he intends for Ivy to "be treated the same as anybody in this situation."

1. Eeegads

Not surprising. At all.

2. And thus the sanctity of traditional marriage

is forever desecrated because Iowa did that thing with gay marriage the other day.

See how this slippery slope thing works?

:sarcasm: <---------------- Is this really necessary?

10. Not really necessary, but there is always someone

who will ask the question.
It is probably better to include it.

4. That another one on the unemployment line

5. He probably just didn't want to hurt his knuckles by beating her

So he found a new way to abuse her.



:sarcasm: <------- I don't think it's necessary either, but what the hell. Might as well play it safe.

6. ..that'll show that upitty wife to get out of control... (snark)

Texas is catching up to Florida in the land of the crazies. But remember, Florida is God's waiting room... get a million dollar condo on the beach here and at least you'll go out in style.

7. I bet if he had just beaten her as usual he'd still have his job

How's that for ironic...

8. Women, submit to your husbands. And men...

Don't use a rod larger than an inch across or a Taser greater than 50000 volts on her.

Sometimes scripture must be updated to keep up with the times.
