Reichard’s wife told a security guard at Penn Warner Club around 9 p.m. that she was assaulted. She then drove herself to Aria Health’s Bucks County Campus in Falls for treatment to various injuries, police said.
At the hospital, Reichard’s wife relayed to police that her and her husband were in an argument at his lot at Penn Warner Club. While preparing to leave, Reichard asked for her wallet and she gave it to him after taking the money out, according to court papers.
Reichard allegedly began throwing objects at his wife after she emptied money from her wallet.
