Texas Man Charged with Chaining Wife - KCBD NewsChannel 11 Lubbock

A Texas man is charged with felony aggravated assault, accused of chaining his wife at their San Antonio home. Patricia Ann Thomason was discovered Thursday padlocked to a 25-foot length of dog chain that was attached at her neck. Firefighters used bolt cutters to remove the chain.

Neighbors say 41-year-old Jerry Thomason bragged about keeping his wife locked up and sometimes caged to prevent her from running away.
