An Ohio man was arrested and is facing charges after allegedly following a woman home and assaulting her husband — all because she honked her car horn at him.
Clermont County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested 30-year-old Seth Schlueter on several charges, including aggravated burglary, assault and endangering children, WLWT reported, citing the sheriff’s office.
Around 5:30 p.m. on July 11, a woman was driving behind Schlueter when he allegedly stopped driving his car in the middle of the roadway, the outlet reported, citing authorities. The woman honked at him and drove around him, after which Schlueter, who had his kids with him in the car, allegedly started following her.
When the woman got home, Schlueter allegedly confronted her husband, who was on the porch, while his wife ran behind the house in fear, Fox19 reported, citing deputies. The husband then tried to retrieve his wife from behind their home in an attempt to de-escalate the situation.
While the husband and wife were behind their house, Schlueter allegedly got his kids, who were all 5 years old or younger, from his car and stormed into the victim’s home, the outlet reported, citing the sheriff’s office.
Schlueter and his kids then allegedly damaged the inside of the couple’s home — then, when confronted by the woman’s husband, Schlueter allegedly punched him in the face before grabbing his kids and fleeing the scene, the Clermont County’s Sheriff’s Office told Fox19.
The woman’s husband was treated on the scene by emergency services for minor injuries, WCPO reported.
