Man accused of hitting wife on head with hammer

Police said they arrested a 45-year-old Bryan man after he hit his wife on the head with a hammer in an attempt to knock her unconscious for sex.

The man was charged Thursday with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Police said they responded to a 7:18 p.m. call reporting a disturbance with a weapon at a home in the 300 block of Dunn Street. The wife told officers she was sitting at her computer when her husband hit her twice on the back of her head with a hammer.

The woman had an approximately two-inch laceration on the back of her head and was bleeding when officers arrived, according to a police report. She said her husband was standing on the front porch beating his head against the wall, and police said when they arrived he had a bleeding abrasion on his forehead, according to the report.

The woman was treated for her injuries at St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan.

The suspect told police that he had a fantasy about having sex with an unconscious woman, and that his wife knew of the fantasy but did not know of his intentions Thursday night, according to a police report.

The husband remained in the Brazos County Jail Friday. Bail had not been set.

Aggravated assault is a second-degree felony punishable by a fine up to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.
