According to an arrest affidavit, Laura Jean Girchardt was arguing with her husband about household chores such as cleaning the home and planting plants in the front yard.

As the spat escalated, “the defendant in frustration began to spit on the victim continuously even when being advised to stop.”

The husband told authorities that Girchardt said, “I’ll spit on you whenever I want,” read the complaint.

During the interview, the wife, 58, eventually admitted to authorities what she had done:
