Benton County sheriff ordered to surrender guns after estranged wife files for protective order

KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — The wife of Benton County Sheriff Jerry Hatcher has filed for divorce and accused him of strangling her during a fight over his alleged extramarital affair.

The Tri-City Herald reported that Monica Hatcher filed for divorce in September.

On Friday she filed for a temporary protection order against Jerry Hatcher, claiming she is a victim of domestic violence.

As part of the protection order, she asked that her husband be required to surrender all guns, other weapons and concealed pistol licenses. That request was granted.

Jerry Hatcher must also move out of the couple’s home and stay at least 1,000 feet from his wife when she is at home or work.

They have been married since 2011.

Wow! She really rammed it up his butt! But if he loses his job over this, she can say goodbye to any alimony checks. Like to see it happen to some of the anti-gun chiefs here in MA.

Yep, there is no LEO exemption in Lautenburg, and a lot of cops have gotten jammed up on it.

I knew cops with felony convictions that "carried on the badge" and had to leave their service weapon at the station when they went off duty, but how many cops have been assigned to desk duty, records, evidence locker, etc because their wife, girlfriend, or side piece decided they could screw the guy over by crying for a R.O.

Unfortunately the Supreme Court refused to hear a Lautenburg case... and it was a shitty case, not one I would have wanted as the constitutional challenge to a bad law.
