A Margate woman was arrested for smashing her husband in the head with a lamp and hitting him with his walking cane, police said.
Crystal Deal, 41, of East River Drive, had an argument with the victim on Oct. 20, during which she grabbed his walking cane from his hand and struck him on the right side of his arm, according to Margate Police Department records.
She then picked up a table lamp and struck the victim on the left side of his head, police said.
The man suffered injuries to his head, left ear, and chest but refused transport to the hospital, according to an arrest affidavit.
Deal was medically cleared at HCA Florida Northwest Hospital and booked into the Broward Main Jail on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, the affidavit states.
Bond information was not available for Deal on Wednesday.
