Upstate rep beat wife rap

No assault bust after she called 911

BY JOE MAHONEY and BEN SMITH
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS

Powerful upstate Rep. John Sweeney got into an early-morning fracas with his wife that became so frightening she called 911 for help, the Daily News has learned.
Gayle (Gaia) Sweeney told the 911 dispatcher that her husband was "knocking her around the house," according to a December 2005 state police report obtained by The News.

it's a Long Island rag. The Albany Times union, which aparently broke the story on its front page, is the local paper.
