From the first report here (7/30/06) an intoxicated David Vanderleest had an argument with his wife and proceeded to throw her across the kitchen and prevent her from calling 911 for help. Once help arrived Vanderleest tried to evade police but was arrested. Included in the officers’ notes is a statement that this was not the first time Vanderleest had beaten his wife. Yes this lowlife mouse of a man had a history of beating his wife? Maybe it makes him feel like a big man.
The second report here (10/26/06) involves among other charges Battery and Intimidation of a Victim – Felony. In this incident Vanderleest told his wife he would KILL her if she testified against him at a previous domestic abuse case. When he found out she was going to testify, he responded by grabbing her by the hair again and throwing her to the ground. Ironically, this report states Vanderleest wanted his wife to see a psychic to see where their marriage was headed and she had. It would not take a psychic to predict where the relationship was headed.
Report three (8/10/09) here describes Vanderleest again using his wife as a punching bag. This time he was just trying to wake her up in the morning. What a sweet guy! Responding to reports of a domestic complaint police officers encountered Vanderleest and his mother who both lied and tried to appear as though no problem existed. Upon further investigation Mrs. Vanderleest’s (David’s wife) told different account and was found to have bruises to her thigh and the huge lump on her head!
Report four (also dated 8/10/09) here followed the release of David Vanderleest from jail. He had been given verbal and written instruction to stay away from his wife and to have no contact or indirect contact with her. Yet on his way home from jail, he defied those instructions sending his driver (who is campaign treasurer) into this wife’s home. Fortunately the police were on scene. Upon further investigation police spotted Vanderleest and apprehended him for violating the terms of his release Vanderleest and for bail jumping. Even the guard at the Brown County Jail acknowledged that she knew he would be back soon from his reaction to the instructions to stay away from his wife.
