A US woman was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after allegedly beating her husband on the head with a remote control.

Rita Sharon Counts, 48, was arrested yesterday after an argument with her husband allegedly escalated into her clocking her 50-year-old spouse with the clicker, the Palm Beach Post said. She hit him several times on the head with the remote control, and also struck him on the arms and head with a telephone, police said.

A Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy who responded to the incident in Wellington, near West Palm Beach, said in a report the victim had "visible red and black bruises which were caused by Rita".

No bond had been set as of today, the Post reported.
