CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) - A 25-year-old Clarksville man has been charged with assault, after he allegedly became upset his wife wouldn't cuddle with him because she was in the middle of breastfeeding their child.

According to the affidavit, Dustin Hartley was intoxicated after a night out drinking with friends when he came home to his wife and walked into the couple's bedroom, where she was breastfeeding their infant. When Hartley tried to cuddle with the woman, she "rebuked his advances."

Hartley and his wife began to argue, because he was upset she wouldn't cuddle, and he allegedly grabbed the child out of her arms.
