A photo of Mitt Romney on Facebook is at the center of a recent domestic abuse case in Tennessee.
Lowell Turpin, 40, accused his live-in girlfriend of having an affair with a man he did not recognize in a photo on her Facebook page. A police report posted on The Smoking Gun indicates it was a picture of the Republican presidential candidate.
It reads: "Mr. Turpin saw a picture of an unknown (to him) male on Ms. Gray's Facebook page, and angrily demanded to know who the male was. Crystal Gray relied that it was a picture of Mitt Romney. Ms. Gray described that Lowell Turpin became upset..."
According to Anderson County Sheriff Department investigators, Turpin, who reportedly weighs 310 lbs., injured his girlfriend's hand, punched Gray in the face and smashed the laptop involved against a wall.
He was charged with domestic assault on July 22 and is still in jail, in lieu of bond, according to The Smoking Gun.

They don't believe in "multiple partners" for both sides. Never heard of a woman having more than one husband....
FYI: 310 lbs Lowell Turpin, 40, of Anderson County, Tennessee and his live-in girlfriend Crystal Gray, 38, are CONSERVATIVES!
Incense with jealousy and suspicion that Ms. Gray is having an affair with Mitt Romney, Mr. Turbin 'jerked' the laptop from Ms. Gray and threw it against the wall. He then swung at her with closed fist that left a series of small puncture wounds inside her gums from her teeth.
Ms. Gray's brother, Timothy Gray, has to intervened. Together with his girlfriend, Tammy Thrower, and his sister - they went to the police and reported the incidence.
I better not find a picture of Mitt on my old lady's PC or the feathers are gonna fly!!!
We Dems are so thin skinned and jealous of real men like Romney.
Obama is a delicate little girly man like most of us left wing loons.
