Florida Woman Covers Husband in Barbeque Sauce, Chases Him With Butcher Knives

A woman in Florida poured barbecue sauce on her husband before chasing after him with a knife in each hand, according to an arrest report.

In a report made public on Wednesday, 30-year-old Viven Palmer faces charges of battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting an officer, according to a CBS affiliate, WJAX, in Jacksonville.

Police were reportedly called to the home where they saw a man waving and yelling "Help, police," from his front door. A woman, who was later identified as Palmer, refused to speak to the police as she put items into a car that was parked outside the home. Two children, ages 4 and 9, were inside the car, according to WJAX.

Palmer's husband told police that he and his wife were arguing about getting a divorce when "his wife came after him, damaging property along the way," according to WJAX. Palmer's husband told police that his wife ripped off his shirt, poured barbecue sauce on him and hit him. He fought back. When Palmer grabbed the butcher knives, Palmer's husband said he ran outside.

Palmer was released on Tuesday from the Palm Beach County Jail on $5,000 bail. According to WJAX, she has no criminal history.
