Another day, another political scandal…
The blizzard didn’t bury him — roughing up his wife did.
Former Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith — who drew sharp criticism for bungling the Christmas storm that shut down the city — actually resigned in disgrace after his wife, fearing for her life, had him arrested during an argument turned violent, The Post has learned.
Just days before he suddenly stepped down as Mayor Bloomberg’s chief of operations, Goldsmith was arrested at his Georgetown home after his wife, Margaret, told cops he smashed a phone and grabbed her as she desperately tried to call cops, a Washington, DC, police report reveals.
The shocking cop report describes in dramatic detail how a “verbal altercation” between the former Indianapolis mayor, 64, and his wife in their ritzy house turned ugly around 11:30 p.m. on July 30.
The details of the story sound like this relationship has been toxic for sometime now…
“I should have put a bullet through you years ago!” Margaret, 59, allegedly told Goldsmith, the report revealed.
Stephen Goldsmith then “shoved [Margaret into] the kitchen counter,” the report said.
“You’re not going to do this to me again, I’m calling the police,” Margaret responded, the report said.
Goldsmith “then grabbed the phone from her hands and threw it onto the ground, breaking the phone. He then grabbed [Margaret] and refused to let her go.”
“She kept screaming, ‘Let me go, let me go,’ ” as Stephen refused to let her out of his grasp, according to the report.
“She dug her nails into [Stephen’s] forearms,” causing him to release Margaret, who then “ran to the other room to call police.”
That isht cray…
Despite the whole brouhaha Margaret Goldsmith denied that any violence occured that night or any other night between her and her husband, calling it an “enormous misunderstanding. It just got out of control.”
Sound SUPER suspect if you ask us, but hey, if you like it, we love it…
