Kemah Mayor Teri Gale stayed out past 2 am on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and her husband apparently wasn’t happy about it. In fact, according to police reports, he choked her and broke her cell phone. Reports stated that he seemed to be intoxicated and smelled like alcohol. So the allegation is that he had been drinking. No one said what the mayor had been doing coming home at 2 am – was she also drinking? Or perhaps she was at a late-night prayer meeting?
Either way, there is no excuse for domestic violence. Still, the Kemah Police Chief has hailed her as a “hero” for getting her husband arrested. That’s a bit of a stretch, considering she wasn’t sitting home knitting Christmas sweaters – but after all, she does sign his paychecks!
Scott Gale was arrested on charges of domestic violence.
