Husband Looks At Risqué Photo, Sparks Domestic Violence: Police
A Puyallup man thought it would be OK to look at photos of an undressed woman near his wife. That grew into a serious domestic incident.

PUYALLUP, WA - A Puyallup man was arrested on multiple charges Saturday after a domestic violence incident that began with a lewd photo, according to police.
