An Eagle Mountain, Utah man, who faced attempted murder charges for beating his wife and former friend with a golf club is getting a huge break. Kevin Householder, 30, was charged with second-degree felony counts of attempted murder and aggravated assault for taking a 4-iron to the face of his wife and friend instead of to a golf ball.
The Salt Lake Tribune has more in "Plea deal in raging hot-tub attack with club":
Householder pleaded guilty to two lesser class A misdemeanor counts of attempted aggravated assault. The attack came just after midnight during the party on June 17, 2006, when Householder struck his wife multiple times in the head and face, and struck his friend in the head, arms and legs, according to police. When the head of the club broke off, Householder used the jagged end to stab the man, who suffered two puncture wounds, a concussion and a fractured pelvis. The woman was treated for facial injuries.
Householder's wife and (former, hopefully) friend approved the plea deal, and the wife is currently going to counseling with her husband. She also reports that her husband is getting his drinking under control. The plea deal requires 120 days of electronic monitoring, and an order to complete domestic battery and anger management counseling. Restitution for $25,000 may still be required for the ex-friend's injuries.
