Addison told authorities she was "tired of men treating her wrong" and that she became angry with the 31-year-old when he began talking about her deceased son.

Police noted that she said that "they not sleeping together, so he has no rights to talk about her or her son."

She faces a charge of aggravated assault. Records show the 44-year-old remained at the Pulaski County jail Friday afternoon in lieu of $7,500 bond.
