Another woman in the house said McLeods wife ran into her room, and the woman locked the door.
The Herald Sun adds: The other woman said McLeod started banging on the door and telling the women to open it. He told the other woman if she didnt open the door, hed kill her (expletive) dog. McLeods wife did not want go to the hospital by ambulance, but assured authorities shed have her daughter take her to get checked so authorities would have a report of the injuries. McLeod was taken into custody on a charge of misdemeanor domestic violence and booked in the George County jail by early Sunday morning. He is out of jail on a $1,000 signature bond.
