The woman known as “Baby Jessica,” famous for her harrowing rescue from a well as an infant, allegedly choked her husband in front of her own baby grandson, according to cops.
Jessica McClure Morales, now 40 and a grandmother, was arrested after she choked her husband so hard that her nails made him bleed during a Saturday night fracas at her Midland County home, sheriff’s deputies allege in an affidavit viewed by the Daily Mail.
McClure allegedly became enraged after someone in her home told her not to fight in front of her baby grandson, cops said.
“F— that,” she retorted, according to a police report.
The arrest came nearly 40 years after McClure fell 22 feet down an 8-inch-wide well as a baby, resulting in a harrowing, 58-hour rescue that riveted the nation.
Morales allegedly wrapped her hands around her husband’s throat and raked her nails over his skin when he pushed her away, causing him to bleed, according to the affidavit.
As for what she told cops: “Jessica stated [her husband] was in her face and she accidentally scratched him when she pushed him away,” the Mail quoted the report as saying.
