Kentucky State Lawmaker Tried To Love Her To Death!

Kentucky state lawmaker nearly killed his wife.

Robert Goforth, a Republican state lawmaker from the commonwealth of Kentucky was busted for putting his hands on a woman.

He lives in Southeastern Kentucky and is fervent supporter of Donald J. Trump.

Goforth is a former Republican candidate for Kentucky governor.

Trump supporting state Republican abused wife.

He was accused of domestic violence against his a woman. I am assuming that she was his wife.

Goforth, 44, was booked into the Laurel County Detention Center just after 4am on Monday.

He is being charged with first-degree strangulation, fourth-degree assault (domestic violence) and third-degree terroristic threatening (making threats to harm victim, himself or others).

The woman alleged the assault happened around 1:30am. Their children were present at the time when he served her a knuckle style chili with onions. It left her with marks on her neck, forehead, arms and bruising around the eyes.

The arrest citation noted that he was trying to "hogtie her." He grabbed a "ethernet cord from the kitchen drawer and threatened to kill her."

The victim filed an emergency protection order to have the suspect stay away from her and the children.

The lawmaker represents the area of East Bernstadt, a census designated community in Laurel County.

The suspect could face up to three to five in the iron college. He will be stripped of his firearms. He will no longer have unsupervised contact with his children. He will likely face child support and alimony support. He will have to take anger management courses.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty of the law.
