40-year-old Christopher Collins, an employee within the US Department of Defense, was booked on October 25th after assaulting his wife on Fairhaven Drive. Anna Collins was on the phone with dispatch, who advised the officers en route that she was being punched. When officers arrived, they observed Anna with a large bruise on the right side of her face along with her right eye almost swollen shut. She explained that she had turned over in bed, and her hand touched her husband’s neck and ear area. He then punched her numerous times in the face, back, and kidney. When police spoke with Collins, he said that while in bed, his wife twisted his ear, and he got mad, so he began hitting her. Officers observed Collins with busted and bloody knuckles. Both were transported to the Tennova Emergency Room to treat their injuries.
