Dad charged with domestic assault, child neglect (Palmyra, Tennessee)

What a charming fellow. Dad BRIAN BRIC "allegedly" punched his wife in the face, then ran off in the rain, in 37 degree weather, with their 2-year-old daughter. When the little girl was retrieved an hour later, she was soaking wet and had no shoes.
