The suspect leaves with the clothes that belong to her, even the flip-flops.

Chef Boy-Ar-Eek: Police responded to an east Charlotte home last week after a woman called 911 saying that her husband was smoking crack and acting dangerously. She told officers that her husband had been swinging a knife at her. When police arrived at the scene, the man told them that he was simply cooking. He said that when he grabbed the knife to cut some chicken, his wife and kids became convinced he was smoking crack instead, so they jumped on him and held him down. Police reported that they found no evidence of anyone cutting chicken and arrested the man.
