PINE – If it’s true, as some claim, that television is destructive to the social fabric, that would go far toward explaining the domestic disquiet that recently brought deputies racing to a South Elk Creek Road residence. On arrival, one officer contacted the woman of the house, who’d called 911 and then secured herself in her bedroom, while the other chatted up her hubby in the kitchen. According to the woman’s statement, she and her husband argue frequently and, consequently, maintain separate sleeping quarters. On that evening, she’d gone to lie down in her room and took the satellite television control along for company. If that sounds peaceful enough, consider that whomsoever controls that remote wields absolute power over every TV in the house. Her husband took immediate issue with her evening’s viewing plans and demanded she surrender the device. She refused, and a mild set-to ensued, at the conclusion of which she called JCSO for back up. The hubby more or less confirmed his beloved’s account, although casting himself in the role of protagonist. Since neither version could be verified, the deputies made the Missus promise to stay in her room for the rest of the evening and made Pookums promise to leave her alone. The report doesn’t say who got custody of the remote.
