Infowars founder Alex Jones’ wife was arrested on Christmas Eve on a domestic violence charge that the conspiracy theorist said stems from a “medication imbalance.”
Deputies took Erika Wulff Jones into custody and booked her into an Austin jail around 8:45 p.m. Friday, and jail records show the 43-year-old faces misdemeanor charges of assault causing bodily injury to a family member and resisting arrest, search or transport. She had not received a bond Saturday afternoon.
Jones declined to elaborate as to what happened but believes it was related to his wife’s recent change of medication.
“It’s a private family matter that happened on Christmas Eve,” Jones said. “I love my wife and care about her and it appears to be some kind of medication imbalance.”
