Tetyana Meyer

The 53-year-old man told police his wife, Tetyana Meyer, 32, had pinched him in his left arm during an argument that afternoon. The man said the pinch left a mark and he wanted to press charges against his wife. He declined medical treatment.

Meyer denied pinching her husband, according to a police report. But the couple’s 4-year-old son told officers he saw his parents yelling at each other and his mother pinch his father.

Meyer was arrested on a domestic battery charge. She was being held in St. Lucie County jail Thursday morning without bond.

He was released from custody after posting $5,000 bail. (more…)
