Billy Graham's Daughter Arrested for Allegedly Abusing Husband

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Evangelist Billy Graham's daughter was arrested and charged with domestic abuse after witnesses told police she choked her husband in a parking lot, authorities said. Virginia Graham Foreman, 59, spent a night in jail after the July 1 confrontation outside a shopping center, police said. She was charged with misdemeanor domestic abuse and released the following day.

Three witnesses told police that Foreman pushed her husband and grabbed him by the throat, authorities said.

A Volusia County judge who presided over Foreman's first court appearance said Chad Foreman told police that witnesses had "just misunderstood what was going on between them."

No one answered the phone at the couple's home on Friday.

Billy Graham, 86, concluded a three-day revival meeting in New York City last month that he indicated could be his last.

Doesn't sound like her. I went to school with her in the dark ages at a private Christian school in central Florida. She was very reserved and had class...

Of course, things change....

I didn't realize there was a state that recognized that women could abuse men.

Exactly.
A woman getting hurt isn't funny but when a guy gets hurt (not seriously hurt, of course) its funny. Thats why the 3 stooges are all guys.

Why was she arrested if her husband protested it?

If he didn't press charges, why arrest her?

Strange.

Why does this make me think of Graham's comment that Bubba should "let his wife run the country"?

"She was very reserved and had class... "

By now you must know women have different personalities when enjoying the "shopping experience". Just go to a mall local to you to buy the ONE item you need. And walk around with the purpose of looking into the eyes of the women you pass by for half an hour. You will see for yourself.
