MCKINNEY, Texas (AP) - A North Texas police officer is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after his wife accused him of stabbing her in the stomach on date night.
Sgt. Audrey Lee Palmer is a 21-year veteran of the McKinney Police Department. He’s free on $50,000 bond after his arrest early Thursday.
An arrest affidavit says he and his wife were having a date night when a text message arrived on Palmer’s cellphone from a telephone number unfamiliar to his wife. When his wife called the number, a woman answered by saying, “Hey, babe.”
