Shultz’s wife told police she put her foot in the door so it wouldn’t close all the way, but he pushed her away, shoved her, tried to bite her, then threw her on the floor before going back into the bathroom and closing the door.
The wife called police and while she was on the phone with 911, Shultz ran from the house.
When officers got to the house, Shultz’s wife was visibly injured, with redness on her arms and face and bite marks on her arm.
Police said the couple’s teenage daughter recorded the incident on her cellphone.
Shultz was charged with battery, multiple charges of cruelty to children.
Records show he was awarded a $9,600 bond but has not been released from the Hall County Jail.
