A 52-year-old Hutchinson man was taken to jail early Thursday morning after he apparently got into an altercation with his wife.

Edward Wayne Kelly of Hutchinson is charged with aggravated battery, domestic violence.

According to the police report, it started with the two getting into an argument, he apparently took a knife being held by his wife and proceeded to cut her hands. Police say he was on top of the victim while using the knife. But, she says her hands were actually cut while trying to get away from her husband. Police say she had multiple cuts on her hands when they arrived.

Edward Kelly also suffered some injuries according to police, with a bite inside and outside his left forearm, and he also allegedly had some lacerations on his back and neck.

He requested a reduction of the bond of 25-thousand dollars while in court Thursday in front of Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen. That was denied.

He’ll be back in court next Wednesday for a status hearing, or whenever the state files formal charges.
