Displeased with his pancakes, Laws began to verbally and physically attack his wife Jessica, according to the police report.

She got up, but Laws then threw her on their bed and began hitting her, read the report.
According to officials, Laws got on top of his wife and slapped her repeatedly in the face and began strangling her in front of her two children.
