## Resource

A pub boss turned violent: Richard Smithwick, who ran multiple pubs and clubs with his wife for decades, lunged at her with a kitchen knife in a terrifying home attack — only stopped by his own son. Charged with threatening with a weapon and assault, he pleaded guilty and received a suspended 14-month sentence, along with mandatory rehab, alcohol treatment, and a restraining order — after years of abuse and isolation left his wife shattered.
