According to an arrest complaint obtained by FOX 35 Orlando, Richard Atchison, 52, “lost his temper” at the couple’s Fruitland Park home Monday evening when his wife begged for assistance; she dropped a spoon into the sink, accidentally dousing him in water.

Atchison grabbed his belongings and walked outside to his car before coming home because “he had been drinking” and urged his wife to leave.
According to the Police report, as the victim attempted to exit, he pushed the main door open with both hands and shoved her in the shoulder region away from the entrance, causing her to stumble.
According to the deputies, Atchison struck the wife before picking up and throwing a Christmas tree at her from the room’s corner. He allegedly blocked the front door to keep her from leaving.
The victim, shaken by what had just happened, walked into the living room and sat with a visiting friend.
Shortly after, Atchison grabbed the Christmas tree from the corner of the room and hurled it into the kitchen. At that moment, the tree had split in half.
According to the complaint, the defendant picked up the broken tree and flung it at his wife, injuring her.
The horrified wife rushed into a bedroom and shut the door, but Atchison followed her and kicked the door open.
The lady reportedly told Police that she tried to flee the House again, but Atchison stopped her. He was still ranting. According to the Police report, she was at her when they came.
