Angry Wife Loses Control of Beer and Brakes

Woman dumps beer on hubby then ruins his truck with her SUV

Claire Brodish Cosgrove is set to get out jail soon in Fort Pierce, and her husband is not happy about it.

Police say the 43-year-old woman arrived home Tuesday night and confronted her husband by calling his mother names, then allegedly grabbed a beer from the fridge and poured it over her husband's head,according to tcpalm.com

.

If that wasn't enough to end the night, police say Cosgrove then rammed her Lexus SUV into her hubby's truck, not once but at least three times.

Cosgrove also managed to damage her mother-in-law's car by knocking the truck into it.

The Lexus SUV sustained about $10,000 in damage while the mother-in-law's car has about $5,000 in damages. The couple's co-owned truck was considered a total loss.

Initially, Cosgrove told deputies that her SUV had a mechanical problem, but when officers showed her the tire marks from her vehicle, she confessed to ramming the truck on purpose.

Beer throwing and truck ramming translates into misdemeanor battery and felony criminal mischief in St. Lucie County. Cosgrove was booked and bail was set at $20,000, about the cost of the all the automotive damages.

Meanwhile, her husband says he is scared his wife will be released from jail.
