Wife smashed way into house and threatened to hurt her husband with porcelain toilet cistern lid

A 48-year-old Florida woman was jailed after investigators say she attacked her husband and threatened to hit him with a porcelain toilet cistern lid. Sebastian police arrested Angela Austin-Knight on a battery (domestic violence) charge following the Oct. 17 incidents involving alcohol and a toilet cistern lid.

At about 1:30am a police officer went to Austin-Knight’s listed address in Sebastian for a physical disturbance. The victim was identified as Austin-Knight’s husband. As the officer traveled to the scene, the husband told dispatchers he “locked himself in the bathroom and his wife was attempting to gain access using a porcelain toilet lid.”
At the scene, police spotted Austin-Knight through a broken window. She was standing in the kitchen holding a bottle of liquor. The husband said he and his wife argued, and at some point they went outside. He said as Austin-Knight grew more violent, she started to “chaotically swing” in his direction, hitting his face and upper body.
He said he ran in the home and locked the door. “After realizing the door was locked, Angela then grabbed a nearby porcelain toilet lid, and used it to break the kitchen window, where she made entry into the residence,” an affidavit states. Once inside, she “threatened to hurt him further with the porcelain toilet lid.” Austin-Knight, who appeared to be very intoxicated, gave different statements about what happened. She was arrested and taken to jail.
