Story here. The rarest of the rare is this woman who was arrested for assaulting her live-in boyfriend. She was charged with violation of something called the Family Violence Act. And to top it off the male victim was not also arrested as is the standard operating procedures in DV incidents where the female is the prime aggressor. Excerpt:

'A Clayton County school board member was arrested last week on charges of simple battery after a dispute with her live-in boyfriend.

Trinia Garrett, 36, the District 7 representative, was arrested on April 21 on charges of violating the state’s family violence act.

According to Clayton Magistrate Court records, Garrett made “physical contact of an insulting and provoking nature” against Albert Stocken, 58, with whom she has lived for the past 18 months in Lake City.

Garrett allegedly started the altercation by arguing over a credit card charge of $85 at a local hotel. She grabbed a chain and pulled it from Stocken’s neck, according to court records.'
