ELECTRICIAN TO BE CHARGED WITH BATTERY

A Texas City electrician has been arrested and will be charged with battery after an incident in a local hotel. Clyde C. Musterd, 23, of La Marque, told police he was driving by the Azure Motel on I-45 on October 1, when he noticed his fiancées Subaru in the parking lot, and looked for his fiancée, 19 year old Lisa Pickels. Musterd at first did not see Pickels, but noticed several men entering and leaving a first-floor room. Wondering what THAT was about, Musterd parked his truck and approached the room, where he could hear his fiancée's voice. He told officers that she sounded as if she was being hurt, or in some type of pain the way she was crying out. Worried, he knocked at the door, but no one opened. He did see someone peeking out through the curtains. This angered him , so he knocked harder. Finally, after several minutes, the door opened, and inside the room Musterd found his fiancée  and three men, playing dominos. When Musterd asked why the bed was messed up, one of the men told him "A dog must have came in here and did it". Musterd then punched the man in the nose. This effectively ended the domino game, and police were summoned. Musterd was taken into custody on battery charges, posted bail and was released the same day. Musterd has since apologized to Pickels for his behavior, but LaMarque DA Berger Mayo says charges are still pending.
