Stanley Lamar Turner, 65 of Cedartown, was arrested this week after reports said he attacked his wife after becoming angry over a money issue.

The victim told police that Turner, who was intoxicated, became upset in reference to someone owing him money.  The two then got into a verbal dispute that placed the victim in fear of her safety. 

She said that she ran into the laundry room and dialed 911 for help.  Before police arrived, Turner grabbed the victim by the pants and pulled her to the ground before exiting the room.  

Turner is charged with simple battery.
