From the Madison Courier, this story reported by Evan Shields begins:
The husband of Switzerland County Prosecutor Monica Hensley was arrested Tuesday and accused of choking a referee at an AAU basketball game.Robert S. Hensley, 41, of Vevay, was arrested by Madison Police around 7:30 p.m. at E.O. Muncie Elementary School. Hensley faces one charge of battery, a Class A misdemeanor.
According to Madison Police Chief Yancy Denning, the incident occurred after a referee made foul calls on two girls playing in the game. Hensley and another parent went down from the stands and onto the court to argue the call, Denning said.
Denning said the referee tried to get the two parents off the court, and Hensley put the referee in a chokehold.
The referee was taken to King's Daughters' Hospital emergency room to get checked out.
