SEBASTIAN — A spat involving alleged sex photos on a woman’s cell phone ended with a traffic crash and a trip to jail for the woman’s husband, an arrest affidavit states.

Mark Crane, 37, of Sebastian, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and battery domestic violence after the May 19 incidents.

Sebastian police went to Periwinkle Drive and Sunset Lane for a reported crash. A man, identified as a victim, reported “his vehicle was intentional(ly) struck by his girlfriend’s husband who he identified as Mark Crane.”

The man said that about 15 minutes earlier, Crane arrived to his house to get his wife “who they both share in a romantic capacity,” the affidavit states.

He said Crane began shouting at him to fight because of recent sex pictures he discovered on (Crane’s wife’s) cell phone.

The man said he left in his vehicle, and Crane followed. He said he tried to pull off the shoulder, and Crane swerved into his driver’s side door.

Crane told police he grew upset when he pulled into the man’s driveway because his wife was hugging the man. Crane told police he couldn’t remember much because of “blacking out from being too upset.”

Crane’s wife told police that Crane shoved the side of her face against the dashboard. She tried to get out of Crane’s truck, but couldn’t open the door.

She said Crane turned the wheel, causing his truck to hit the man’s vehicle.

“That (expletive) got what he deserved,” Crane’s wife quoted Crane as saying.

Crane, of the 1000 block of Foster Road in Sebastian, was determined to be the primary aggressor and taken to jail.
