A Grant County Sheriff's Office deputy, responding to a domestic disturbance call at 14 Quartz Drive at approximately 6:44 p.m.,Thursday, Jan. 14, 2021, made contact with a 73-year-old female who advised she and her husband of 40 years, Jerry Wignall, 75, had been arguing.

The victim told the deputy, according to an offense report narrative, that her husband had been drinking and calling her names, and when she threatened to squirt him with a water bottle he knocked the bottle out of her hand, cutting her finger, and slapped her across the left side of her face, causing a slight swelling. He then fell to the floor, the narrative said, and she called 911.
