Husband and wife fracas…Jermin Culley refutes wife’s assault accusation

Dec 30, 2012 News

 

Having been accused of assault by his estranged wife, Jermin Culley has come forward with what he calls “the true facts of the matter.”  And the matter is heading for the courts tomorrow.
Offering his version of a Christmas Eve altercation between himself and wife, Francine, outside a city supermarket, Jermin Culley said that she was in fact the aggressor and was the only one guilty of assault.  His claims are in complete contradiction to what Francine shared with this publication last week.
According to Culley the only accurate fact presented by his wife concerning the matter was that an individual other than her was driving a vehicle which is registered to him. He said that although the two have been separated for more than one year he had allowed his wife to use the vehicle because she operates a business.
He related that on seeing a stranger in the vehicle on the day on question he approached it believing that it could have been a ‘trunker’.
“When I start walking up to this vehicle I see this man just jump out and start running…I don’t know if he recognised me or something,” said Culley.
The man said that he entered the vehicle by which time his wife hurriedly came out of the supermarket in “attack mode.”
“This woman scramble me and start trying to pull me out the vehicle and I didn’t do a thing to this woman….I don’t believe in hitting woman like she claimed I did…I have two daughters and sisters and I would never do that,” insisted an evidently enraged Culley.
In an attempt to stop his wife from assaulting him, the man said that he summoned the police. Three male officers on patrol turned up shortly after. However, he claimed that the officers were not able to render assistance since his wife was the assailant.
“They said they can’t do anything because is a female so they called for a female officer but she never turned up…and I feel really bad that this woman lied on not only me but the officers to say that nothing was done and that I cannot be found by the police.”
He claimed, too, that after exiting the vehicle his wife entered and opted to drive the said vehicle into another vehicle he was driving. He said that his wife’s aggression towards him resulted in him suffering minor injuries to his left hand.
According to the man, on the said evening of the incident he went to the Kitty Police station to report the matter at which point a statement was taken by one Corporal Williams. He disclosed that his wife subsequently turned up at the police station and also claimed that she was assaulted.
Both persons were charged with assault and released on $10,000 bail. Culley claimed that his wife is also being charged for malicious damage to property.
According to Culley when his wife turned up at the station there were no marks of violence on her therefore he was the only one required to uplift a medical form to visit a hospital for medical attention.
“Everything was done on Christmas Eve…and the police were every effective. If she had any injuries she would have been escorted by the police to seek medical attention and that did not happen,” said Culley.
The matter, according to him, is expected to be pronounced on at the Magistrate’s Court.
