According to the Seattle Times, Wilson’s husband, Dean Stuart Wetter, appeared at the King County District Court on Monday (August 29) after being arrested early Saturday morning. The two boys asked if they could see Wilson’s tour bus and Wetter invited them inside. Bail was set at $10,000. They were walking past the tour buses when they saw Ann Wilson’s new tour bus and Wetter standing outside.
He allowed them on to the vehicle, but then became angry when they left the door open and reportedly struck one of the boys before holding him by the throat.
Wetter agreed, but warned them to be careful because Wilson’s dogs were on the bus. That boy “later complained of a sore, raspy throat, fear of dying and pain in his throat area”. His twin attempted to intervene and Dean allegedly grabbed him by the throat too and “squeezed to the point he could not breathe for about five seconds before letting go”.
