BELLWOOD —
Police say a 68-year-old Blair County man pepper sprayed his wife because he was angry when she brought home a kitten.
The attorney for Dale Stehley did not immediately return a call for comment Friday, and Stehley didn't respond to a message left on his home answering machine.
Stehley had been drinking before his wife brought home the pet about 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Police in Bellwood say Stehley slapped the woman before pepper spraying her after cursing her out about the kitten.
Police say Stehley's wife had to be treated for chest pains.
