Glover’s wife claims she was one attacked

But golfer told sheriff’s office ‘my wife has gone crazy’

The wife of former U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover made the first call to 911 and claimed she was attacked by her mother-in-law, Hershey Glover, according to a tape of the call released Wednesday that provided another bizarre twist in the wife’s arrest on a domestic violence charge.

Glover answered when the St. John’s Sheriff’s Office in Florida called back and said his wife was lying.

“Yeah, hi, I think we got our lines crossed here. This is the husband, the sane one of the bunch,” Glover says in a calm voice. “My wife has called you. … Now she’s trying to blame it on my mother, which is not the case at all. … My wife has gone crazy.”

Krista Glover was arrested Saturday night and taken to the St. John’s County jail. She was released Sunday on a $2,500 bond and faces misdemeanor charges of domestic violence battery and resisting arrest without violence. She has a May 31 court date.

According to the arrest report , Glover told the deputy that his wife yells at him, stating he is a “loser” and other choice words, when he plays poorly in a tournament. Earlier in the day, Glover shot 78 and missed the 54-hole cut at The Players Championship.

Glover also told the deputy his wife had been drinking, according to the report.

Krista Glover told the 911 operator she had been attacked by her mother-in-law. When asked how she was attacked, Glover’s wife hung up. Glover answered when 911 called back.

Glover and his wife have two children, a daughter who turned 5 on Monday and a 2-year-old son. He has three PGA Tour victories, earned nearly $2 million last season and finished No. 43 in the FedEx Cup. He currently is No. 104 in the world ranking.
