Man pepper-sprayed wife over kitten

Published

Police say a 68-year-old central Pennsylvania man pepper sprayed his wife because he was angry when she brought home a kitten.
 
The attorney for Dale Stehley did not immediately return a call for comment Friday, and Stehley didn't respond to a message left on his home answering machine.
 
The Altoona Mirror reports Stehley had been drinking before his wife brought home the pet about 8 p.m. Tuesday.
 
Police in Bellwood, about 90 miles east of Pittsburgh, say Stehley slapped the woman before pepper spraying her after cursing her out about the kitten.
 
Police say Stehley's wife had to be treated for chest pains.
 
Stehley was jailed, but posted bail and remains free pending a preliminary hearing Aug. 7 on charges of simple assault, reckless endangerment and harassment.
