Couple fight over anniversary, police say

Someone called police to say they heard a man and woman having a “big fight” at 7:54 a.m. Sunday at an undisclosed location. The caller heard a “bunch of stuff getting wrecked,” and said they heard the man shout, “I’ll break everything you own.”

Police met with the husband and wife, who were fighting because the husband forgot their anniversary; the couple said they wouldn’t yell anymore.
