Wife of Alex Jones arrested after allegedly beating him on head over 20 times Christmas Eve

Notorious radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones did not have the most joyous of all Christmas celebrations this year, as his wife was taken into police custody in Austin, TX after reportedly giving the Infowars founder a rather savage Christmas Eve beating.
Erika Wulff Jones, 43, was arrested on Friday night at around 8:45pm and charged with misdemeanor charges of assault and resisting arrest after she allegedly struck Jones on the head “over 20 times,” according to Travis County police reports obtained by the Daily Beast.
“It’s a private family matter that happened on Christmas Eve,” Jones told The Associated Press. “I love my wife and care about her and it appears to be some kind of medication imbalance.”
Mr. Jones had called 911 and told a dispatcher that his wife had struck him over the head multiple times and was “holding a polished club in her hand” and attempting to “hit him with it.”
The Daily Beast also reported:
Jones later told police that “Erika had hit him with both closed fists and open hands on his head in front of their child,” the affidavit stated.
According to Jones, Erika had accused him of “cheating on her,” leading to a violent altercation as the duo bathed their child. (Jones has three other children from a previous marriage.)
Erika allegedly struck Jones “over 20 times,” including once over the head with a bottle, “possibly shampoo,” causing the contents to get on his face and “cause burning to his eyes,” the report continued. “[Jones] stated he tried to get away from her in the master bedroom, and she followed him with a stone ball trying to strike him.”
It was at this point, police wrote, that Jones was “in fear for his life.”
Police located a stone, weighing approximately five pounds, in the primary bedroom, “consistent” with the alleged weapon. Jones told police that she never hit him with the stone, but “threw it at his head, missing by inches.”
