ONE ARREST AFTER AN ARGUMENT TURNS VIOLENT

An argument over infidelity turned violent Friday, and a Twentynine Palms man was arrested for allegedly breaking his wife’s finger. According to the Sheriff’s Department, a woman in the 73900 block of Two Mile Road texted her sister about 8 a.m. to say that Abram Martin, 22, a private first class rifleman in 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, threw her on the ground, ripped her clothes, threw items at her, and broke her finger. The woman’s sister contacted the Sheriff’s Department to check on the woman. After an investigation, deputies determined the couple had argued earlier in the week over infidelity, and Martin left home for a few days, but returned drunk. After an investigation, Abram Martin was arrested on suspicion of felony spouse abuse, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, with his bail set at $50,000.
