STUART, Fla. -- Authorities said a verbal argument ended when a Stuart man threw his wife from a boat and left her in the ocean about a quarter of a mile from shore.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office reported that Julie Talley treaded water on Sunday until she was able to flag down a passing boat.

Once the woman got back to dry land, she told deputies that her husband, Robert Talley, had tossed her overboard and left her but that she had wanted to get off the boat anyway.

Despite his wife's protests, Robert Talley was charged with domestic battery.

He was released Monday on a $5,000 bond.
