HUDSON - A 51-year-old Oklahoma man was arrested on charges of domestic aggravated assault and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon following an incident Sunday evening.

John A. Allen's estranged wife, who lives in Hudson, told Pasco sheriff's deputies that he got angry with her and began destroying her apartment.

A man inside the apartment said Allen chased his wife around with a knife. The man tried to intervene, according to the report, and was cut on the arm. The victims' names were not given in the arrest report.

Allen was being held Monday in county jail in lieu of $15,000 bail.
