The following information was compiled from City of Renton police reports.

A woman called police after her husband struck her in the jaw but didn’t want the responding officers to do anything more than give him a warning, because she couldn’t afford rent without him.

The couple was arguing about the husband’s relationship with another woman, when he reportedly hit her on the 400 block of South 53rd Place May 22.

The husband left when she called police to avoid being arrested.
