The arrest followed a heated argument over the division of property, according to a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office report. The report says that Carter, 50, and his wife went for a ride in his racing boat during the day, then had dinner at Burdine’s Waterfront at the end of 15th Street. Then they returned to their home, and he "started yelling at everyone." A witness statement says that when the Carters returned to their house from dinner, Robert Carter said he noticed photos of Aaron, the younger son, were missing. "He then became angry and loud," the statement says. Robert Carter allegedly threw a coffeepot and other things at his wife, then entered a moving truck and started tossing boxes out of it. His statement says he "got mad because [she] took things that did not belong to her. She got upset and made believe that I was beating her and calling people to be a witness to that." However, in her statement, she said he followed her into the house and she locked herself in a bedroom and he kicked the door in. She then locked herself in a bathroom, but he kicked in that door, too, then shoved her in the shower, "causing her to fall and hit the back of her head." Robert Carter remained jailed early Friday afternoon in lieu of $5,000 bond. Comment on this item.
