SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - A man who allegedly padlocked a 30-foot dog chain around his wife's neck and kept her in a cage after she threatened to leave him is now in a cage of his own -- a prison cell.

San Antonio police arrested 41-year-old Jerry Wayne Thomason on Thursday after a neighbor spotted his 45-year-old Patricia wife wearing the chain around her neck after the couple dropped off their two children at school, police said on Friday.

When police found her, the chained woman was standing in her driveway while her husband slept in the passenger seat of his car, holding onto the chain.

Neighbors said the bizarre situation began when Patricia Thomason told her husband she wanted to leave him.

"He also had her in a cage, chained up in a cage, because he didn't want her to leave," neighbor Yolanda Esquivel said.

Firefighters had to use bolt cutters to remove the chain from her neck and police said she was released from a hospital after treatment for minor cuts and bruises.

Thomason was jailed in lieu of $35,000 bond on charges of felony aggravated assault with bodily injury and unlawful restraint.

Police said the couple had been married for 15 years.

As I clicked on this I thought "let me guess, Texas." Can someone explain to me again why we bothered wresting this piece of shit from Mexico?

For oil, what else? There are pricetags on everything, though

Mike, wouldn't this fit better in SLAM?

That's one way to avoid a painful divorce...at least until you get arrested and your wife leaves you anyway...what the hell was he thinking?

That's pretty fucked up.

You tend not to think when you're evil.

This is pretty sick.

Now that's what I call treating a woman as private property.

This man is seriously sick!

Saw this earlier today elsewhere, he was a sick fuck, all right.

You know at first I thought he was on to something, but after I got past the title I realized that he is totally misusing a perfectly good leash and collar.

besides did he eever rationalize that, fi she wanted to leave him, that this is the kind of shit that probably provoked it? Its called flowers and candy, buy some and tuck yer junk fer awhile along with yer pride.

How is it that Texas manages to turn these idiots out in record numbers?

That fellow has some serious issues. Hopefully, he and Bubba will be able to work them out in prison...

Being one of the largest states in the Union with a growing population helps.

That's pretty sick...hopefully, he and his new *friend* will be able to work all their differences.

Yes, the whole place is just horrible. Why bother with a little thing like specificity when you can just dismiss the whole place out of hand based on a few examples.

Maybe we should secede so I won't have to share a nation with you.

Fuck off.

Love,

Uhm, yeeeeeaaaaah.....

There are some sick freaks in this world.

But as for being Texas, this is just as likely to happen in New York or California or Florida. Hell, people act like Texas is full of gunfighters and dumbasses. It has its share, sure, as does any other state, or country.

I have been there a few times, and haven't seen any more stupid people than anywhere else in my travels.

I guess the good news is that the woman won't have any trouble leaving her husband now. She certainly shouldn't have any problems in the divorce proceedings.

Maybe we should just set some strategically placed warheads along some fault lines and send California out into the Pacific...

While there are some good people there, overall, it wouldn't hurt my feelings alot to loose the People's Republic of California.

Good idea.

Learn to swim.

Though, that would produce a megatsunami which would certainly annihilate Hawaii, Japan and all the other Pacific islands, and devastate Indonesia, Korea, China, Australia and New Zealand.

I'm appaled that someone would do that. I'm also amazed. Not because he did that, but that the Texas courts sent him to jail where a freak like him belongs, instead of letting him get off with a slap on the wrist.
