Ric Flair Assaulted by Wife for Second Time, Calls Police
Professional wrestler Ric Flair reportedly called police on Monday after his wife assaulted him in their home. This is the second time that Flair has called authorities and requested help in dealing with his abusive wife.
According to reports, Flair called police to request help in dealing with his wife, Jacqueline Bains Beems, who had allegedly begun assaulting him. Neither was arrested, and no one was taken to the hospital after the incident. It's the second time that police have been called to assist in an altercation between the couple.
In 2010, Beems was arrested for assault after punching Flair in the face. She was taken in to the station and charged, but the district attorney dropped the charges due to a lack of evidence. After that incident, Flair's agent released the following statement:
