Baldwin, 50, said police told him to take his children out of the couple’s house on Sunday, where he said the children witnessed his wife punching him in the face.
Joanne Baldwin, 41, was arrested Wednesday night for violating her parole on a drunken driving conviction.
She has been jailed, and the police chief in Lake Oswego, the wealthy suburb where the couple has lived since 2010, said she isn’t expected to be released until a hearing Wednesday.
