Married to Medicine Mom Arrested for Family Violence
"Jill went on to say that they were arguing about her affair with another male," People quoted the police report as saying, "Jill said John threatened to take the children, and she became very upset. Jill said she was so angry with John that she struck John in the face, and she scratched him on his body. Jill said she was really scared that he would take the children from her."
She told police that her husband had "grabbed a knife and started to cut her on the arm and chest" and when asked to describe how, she was unable to, saying, "It all happened so fast, and I don't know how it happened. I do not know where the knife is," People said.
John suffered mild injuries, including a swollen lip and visible scratches, FoxNews.com reported.
Police arrested her on suspicion of misdemeanor battery and family violence and two counts of cruelty to children, because she allegedly allowed two of the couple's kids to witness the confrontation, court records show.
On Friday, a Georgia judge ordered Jill to undergo 24 weeks of domestic violence intervention at a court-approved treatment facility and also complete a substance abuse assessment and treatment program as soon as possible. She is due to report on her progress at a compliance hearing on Oct. 6. Jill has not commented.
The couple is now separated. On Aug. 19, six days after the confrontation, Jill filed for divorce from John, court records show.
