A Columbia attorney and former executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party has been arrested and charged with criminal domestic violence following an incident involving his wife last month. Todd Kincannon, 33, was arrested and booked into the Lexington County Detention Center on Monday evening. A bond hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. An arrest warrant alleges that Kincannon's wife, Ashely Griffith, told deputies that he grabbed her arm during a March 26 argument in their car, 'squeezing it tightly, thus preventing her from exiting the vehicle.' Griffith told police Kincannon threatened to kill her, himself and her family during the incident – threats he is accused of having made previously. 'It should be noted Ashely was trembling as she wrote her statement,' the report said. According to Kincannon, he 'accidentally overdosed' on the prescription drug Benzonatate – which he says he was taking to deal with an upper respiratory infection.

'Basically, I went completely crazy after taking it,' Kincannon told The  City Paper two days after the incident. 'I don't even remember all of it. My wife called 911 because she was worried about me and my behavior was way out of character and erratic, and she was afraid for her safety and mine.' In the aftermath of that statement, it emerged that Griffith has more than forty-eight hours of audio recordings of her husband verbally abusing her as well as photographic evidence of possible domestic abuse, reports FITS. In one clip Kincannon tells Griffith he will have his 'revenge' if she leaves him, and that he will make her 'very f*cking sorry' if she fails to follow his instructions for improving their marriage. 'Now I’m going to tell you right now – I can’t survive in this f*cking environment that you create with your bad attitude and your unhappy spirit,' Kincannon said. 'I’m – I’m sick of it and I’m done with it. And I want to make very clear to you – I don’t give a sh*t about you, or about any of the sh*t in your life. I don’t give a sh*t about all your f*cking divorce threats. You have pushed me so far down the hole that I don’t care any more.'
