San Quentin Chaplain Jailed In Alleged Wife Attack

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch

SAN RAFAEL (AP) ― A chaplain at San Quentin State Prison is free on bail after being arrested for allegedly choking his wife with an electrical cord.

Rafeeq Hassan was taken into custody Thursday after prison staff called deputies to report a domestic disturbance in a staff housing area.

Marin County authorities say when deputies arrived, they determined that Hassan had choked his wife with his hands and an electrical cord during an argument.

Hassan was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, threatening with a weapon and corporal injury on a spouse.

His wife was treated at the scene by San Rafael firefighters.

Hassan is a longtime Muslim prison chaplain who has lived at San
Quentin for seven years.
