Couple has Jerry Springer moment

A woman admitted busting her boyfriend?s nose, saying she slugged him because his wife would not leave them alone.

?I?m too old to play games,? Peggy Martin told General Sessions Judge Larry Ross Tuesday after admitting she punched live-in boyfriend Danny Elrod in the nose, busting him open during a domestic dispute over his wife. ?I pretty much punched him in the nose. His wife won?t leave me alone.?

Judge Ross, taken aback by Martin?s admission that she was living with a married man, said he was not surprised the estranged wife harassed the couple.

?Well, I wonder why,? Ross responded to Martin?s claims that her boyfriend?s wife would not leave them alone.

?He knows a good thing,? Martin retorted as to why Elrod lived with her instead of his wife.

Ross then suggested Elrod should get a divorce from his wife, to avoid future trouble.

?I already paid for it (a divorce) twice,? Martin said of her boyfriend?s plans for divorce.

Given the fact Martin admitted to punching Elrod, Judge Ross issued a stay-away order, directing Martin to kick him out of her house or be put in jail.

?Maybe you need to find you another man,? Ross suggested, saying if her probation officer found Elrod at her home that she would be in violation of her 11-month, 29-day probationary sentence.
