READ THE LEGAL PAPERS

"He explained that he and his wife are having extreme marital problems to the point of divorcing," responding Officer Woodson wrote in papers filed in Snohomish County District Court.

"He told me he was working in the rear portion of his business, Swank Communications, when he came out to the front office area … to find Tracey sitting on the couch in the office."

Daniel said Tracey announced she didn’t want a divorce, and then "started throwing things," according to the report.

"He said he tried to calm her down, but she only got more upset and picked up a power drill."

Tracey "acted as if she was" going to throw the drill at him, but slammed it into a wooden coffee table instead, the report detailed.

After that, Tracey "started throwing things from his desk at him, including a large day planner that just missed him," the officer wrote.

"He told me that Tracey then tore everything off of his desk and onto the floor."
