RICHMOND, Texas – A husband and wife are facing multiple charges after they resisted arrest at bar in Richmond, according to Fort Bend County sheriff's deputies.

Authorities said Gene and Meghan Moseley were in an altercation with law enforcement Thursday at Z Bar Z Icehouse in the 1600 block of Crabb River Road.

Deputies said the quarrel started when the couple began arguing with another woman, who was a part of a larger group. The argument escalated until the couple was asked to leave by two off-duty deputies.

Thomas Moseley and Meghan Moseley refused to leave, and Gene Moseley pushed a deputy into a table, the Sheriff's Office said. During the commotion, Meghan Moseley smacked a deputy in the back of the head while he attempted to handcuff her husband, the Sheriff's Office said. The deputy wrestled the woman to the floor and handcuffed her.

Once the couple was apprehended, deputies called for backup.

The Moseleys are charged with assault on a peace officer, resisting arrest and public intoxication.

From Fort Ben County Jail, Meghan recalled a different story.

She says people in the bar were picking on her about her weight, but when she asked the deputy at the door for help, the deputy told her husband to 'take it outside and handle it man-to-man.".

After the couple asked for the deputy’s name, they say the deputy threatened to arrest them and things got combative.

“I saw him just getting pounded in the head in the back I was scared for his I truly was scared for his life and I slapped the officer," Meghan said. "You know I swung and it hit him, that wasn’t the right thing to do.”

In hindsight, Gene says his wife should have just stayed out of the altercation.

“She should of just let them handle me and she should have just stayed off to the side, I wish she would have,” he said from jail.
