Apparently the husband has a history of aggression: “Lieutenant Caton was reportedly fired by CPD in 2003, in relation to the 2001 death of Roger Owensby. He was later acquitted, reinstated and awarded $200,000 in back pay.”

Must be nice to get $200,000 for over a year off work for potentially killing a veteran.
