Wife of former Seahawk Chad Eaton arrested
Suspected of punching husband
The wife of a former Seahawks defensive lineman could be charged with domestic violence after she was arrested on suspicion of punching her husband in the nose, according to court records.
King County sheriff's deputies were called Sunday to Chad Eaton's home in the 12900 block of 167the Ave. N.E., outside of Redmond. According to a police report, Eaton's 33-year-old wife punched the former defensive tackle in the nose, causing it to bleed.
Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County prosecutor's office, said the investigation was expected to continue a few more days before prosecutors reach a charging decision.
Sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said no weapons were involved and that the woman was taken into custody under the state's mandatory arrest law, which requires police to arrest domestic violence suspects.
Eaton, 34, is a Puyallup native who played for Washington State University and the New England Patriots before coming to Seattle for three seasons. The Seahawks released the defensive tackle in 2004 after he failed a physical due to a knee problem that forced him to miss the prior season.
He now works for Seattle Fox affiliate KCPQ as a commentator.
Deputies recorded his wife's size at 5 feet 4 inches tall and 130 pounds, according to sheriff's office reports. During his playing days, Eaton's weight was around 300 pounds.
