GRANGER, Ind. -- A Granger man was arrested and charged with domestic battery committed in the presence of a child less than 16-year-old (F6), and domestic battery (misdemeanor).

According to a probable cause affidavit (PCA), the St. Joseph County Sheriff's Department dispatch was advised by a wife that her husband, John Szuba, was "intoxicated and they were having issues."

Stated in the PCA, the wife arrived home that night to find her husband allegedly "overwhelmed with the kids and drunk." After Szuba began yelling at the wife, the wife informed her husband that she was taking their three children to her parents' house. It was at this point, according to the PCA, where Szuba initiated "a scuffle" in front of the children.

Officers went to the residence and spoke to Szuba. He was advised of his Miranda rights. Szuba, allegedly, told the officers that he wasn't sure what happened and that the incident occurred too fast. According to the PCA, Szuba admitted drinking a few glasses of bourbon and he "lost it" when his wife told him that she was going to take their children to her parents' house.

According to Mycase.in.gov, Szuba's first initial hearing is set for 9 a.m. on Nov. 17.
