Tadeo was cuffed on May 20 after cops responded to calls that he was assaulting his wife, Andrea Jill Armintrout, at their home. Allegedly drunk, cops said the altercation began during an argument in which Tadeo blamed his wife for “misfortunes” in his life. He then focused his anger on the dog, first kicking and stomping it.
