HAMBLEN TWP. — A Brown County man was arrested March 1 after police say he poured a beer on a woman and started a fight at a home on Sprunica Road.

Brown County Sheriff’s Deputy William Pool responded to a home in the 4000 block of Sprunica Road and was met in the driveway by a woman trying to leave. Pool told the woman to back up so she could talk to police.

Cody L. Roberts, 32, was standing on the front porch. Roberts told Pool that he had gotten off work, had gone to the liquor store and a bought a six pack of “tall boy” beers. He said he didn’t make it 10 feet into the home before the woman began yelling at him. He said she was mad he was drinking again, the affidavit said.

At this point, Roberts said he took off his wedding ring, placed it on a Ping-Pong table and started to pack a bag of clothes to leave for the night. Roberts said the woman was following him and yelling at him.

He called her two expletive names, which he said “set her off.” Roberts said the two were standing in the doorway to the master bedroom when he poured a can of beer on her head, telling her to “cool off,” the report said.

Roberts told police that she began hitting him in the face five to six times. He said the woman told him he needed to leave or her parents would come over and make him leave. Roberts then armed himself with a 9mm pistol and began making threats against the woman’s stepfather, the affidavit said.

The woman followed Roberts into the living room, where they got into another physical fight. Roberts admitted to drinking four beers along with pouring one on the woman and spilling another during the altercation.

Pool noted that Roberts was bleeding from his knuckles and he said it was from hitting a table. The officer wrote that he later learned Roberts had punched the glass out of some picture frames.

Roberts was placed under arrest initially for domestic battery, since he initiated the fight by dumping beer on her, the report said. He was taken to the Brown County jail. He was formally charged with disorderly conduct, a Class B misdemeanor, March 2.
