POULSBO — A Poulsbo woman was jailed after being accused of beating up her fiance at their prenuptial party.
Kitsap County sheriff’s deputies say 31-year-old Amber Barnes’ 12-year-old son told her he saw her fiance kissing one of her women friends early Thursday morning.
Deputies say Barnes gave her friends the boot, told her fiance to leave, too, and then started hitting him in the face.
When he left the house, they say, she tackled him football-style, punched him some more, threw his watch into the bushes and broke his glasses.
Responding to a 911 call from her son, deputies arrested Barnes for investigation of fourth-degree assault.
Sheriff’s Lt. Kathy Collings says Barnes was released from jail later Thursday. There’s no word on whether the marriage took place.
