LUFKIN — A day after a police report was filed, a Lufkin man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly beating his wife with a plastic baseball bat and spraying Febreze in her mouth. The incident started when Victor Ray Wortham, 36, became angry at his wife because she popped her bubble gum, according to an arrest report. Wortham reportedly punched her in the mouth and then grabbed the plastic bat and beating her in the hip and chest. He then forced her onto the bed and held her down so he could spray Febreze air sanitizer in her mouth. The chemicals in her mouth made the woman vomit several times and burned her throat, the report stated.
