Does This Look Like The Face Of Two Husbands That Got Into A Fight Over Who Was The Drunkest And Who Should Drive Home After Cincinnati Pride Parade?
(Source) Elmwood Place’s mayor and his husband, who is the village’s maintenance supervisor, made court appearances Monday following their arrests after what police describe as a drunken fight.
Court documents said Mayor Bill Wilson, 48, and his husband Bill Smith, 60, engaged in a “mutual combat fight” after an argument that started regarding leaving Cincinnati Pride on Saturday.
Wilson was given a $10,000 bond, which he paid out on Monday. Smith is due back in court on July 2. Temporary restraining orders have been filed against both men for the domestic violence charges.
Both men have been charged with domestic violence and disorderly conduct charges. Wilson also faces two counts each of obstructing official business and resisting arrest. Police said Wilson ran from police twice. Once, Wilson tried to walk away in handcuffs after being examined by medical personnel.
Officers responded to the couple’s Maple Street house around 8 p.m. after Wilson called police, court documents said. According to an affidavit, Wilson called police and it was clear that “something was very wrong.”
According to documents, the fight began because Wilson did not want to leave Cincinnati Pride.
A female witness told police she was drinking with the couple Downtown and Smith wanted to go home, which caused the “initial tension,” documents said.
While in the car, the two argued “over who was the drunkest and who should be driving,” the affidavit said. Smith struck Wilson in the face when the car was stopped as they were pulling off the Interstate.
The witness told police that she went back to the couple’s home after initially getting out of the car and trying to walk home. After leaving the couple’s home, she could hear “screaming and a loud fight coming from the residence.”

Sometimes you stumble across a story on the internet where the headline and content of the story speak for itself. As a blogger (yes I’m trying to blog more) you just step aside and let the story do the talking. Well this is one of those times. The two Bills, one a mayor, getting into a fight over who was the drunkest and who should be driving while drunk, an absolutely absurd topic to begin with. Love always shows up in mysterious ways, like a “mutual combat fight” with your husband after a day full of drinking. But as the saying goes, love always wins, and I think the two Bills will figure this whole thing out, I believe in them.
PS
Having a court document read “mutual combat fight” is so badass. I’d wear that with a badge of honor. Hey Bill, what’d you get popped for? Oh just a mutual combat fight with my husband, you know, just another Sunday.
