According to the Whitley County Sheriff’s Office, Dulinsky was arrested October 22 following an alleged domestic battery involving his wife at their home. Deputies responded to a domestic disturbance after Dulinsky’s wife went to a neighbor’s home to call 911. According to court documents cited by 21Alive, the woman told investigators that Dulinsky allegedly blocked pathways, broke items, made suicidal threats, took her phones and physically restrained her. Their three young children were inside the home during the incident. Deputies reported that Dulinsky appeared intoxicated when they spoke with him.
