UPDATE: Foxborough Man Arraigned from Hospital Bed After Allegedly Trying to Kill Ex-Wife

UPDATE (May 28th; 9:04 p.m.) -

Glenn A. Saltis was arraigned from his hospital bed in Norwood Tuesday afternoon after the Foxborough resident and town’s electrical inspector was arrested for allegedly attacking and severely injuring his ex-wife on Memorial Day, according to 7News Boston.

The arraignment lasted just three minutes at Norwood Hospital as Saltis was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, mayhem, assault to murder, and aggravated assault and battery, according to 7News.

Saltis’ ex-wife, Julie Saltis, reportedly suffered a gash on the right side of her head and is being treated at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence for what has been described by the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office as “life-threatening” injuries.

Glenn Saltis allegedly attacked Julie Saltis with his fists and metal shelving from the master bedroom of his 72 Ridge Rd. home, according to the arrest report via 7News. Julie Saltis was reportedly “covered in blood from her head to her feet” when she fled the Ridge Road residence in her Toyota 4Runner and drove to her Church Street apartment.

Police reports say Glenn Saltis waded into the Neponset Reservoir near his Ridge Road home shortly after the alleged incident occurred on Memorial Day morning and police had to borrow a canoe to rescue the 49-year-old Foxborough man, according to 7News.

Glenn Saltis is in the hospital reportedly recovering from hypothermia he suffered Monday and “claimed he didn’t remember how he got in the water and didn’t remember hitting his ex-wife,” according to 7News.

UPDATE (May 28th; 12:30 p.m.) -

The Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office is continuing the investigation of a “serious domestic assault” that occurred Monday morning involving a Foxborough town employee and a woman reported to be his former wife, according to reports.

Glenn A Saltis, 49, of 72 Ridge Rd., an electrical inspector for the town of Foxborough, was arrested and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault with intent to maim following Monday’s incident, according to police. 

Foxborough police received an emergency 911 call at 11:17 a.m. Monday reporting a woman at a Church Street residence needing medical attention following a domestic disturbance on Ridge Road, according to police logs.

Police reported the domestic incident occurred at 72 Ridge Rd. and the victim drove to the Church Street residence for help.

The victim was transported to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence at 11:39 a.m. Monday with what the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office described as “life-threatening” injuries.

At 11:44 a.m. police responded to Saltis’ 72 Ridge Rd. home to investigate the report of domestic disturbance and shortly after arriving on scene requested Foxborough Fire to assist with the rescue boat for a man in the water at Neponset Reservoir.

That man, later identified as Saltis, was reportedly taken out of the water at 12:17 p.m. and treated by Foxborough Fire, according to police. Saltis was then taken into custody and transported to Norwood Hospital.

Saltis was expected to be arraigned in Wrentham District Court Tuesday but the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office is now uncertain when – or where – that will take place.

“It is now unclear whether [Saltis] will be arraigned in Wrentham or in the hospital,” Norfolk County District Attorney spokesman David Traub said Tuesday afternoon.

A search warrant was issued Monday to collect evidence at Saltis’ home, according to police and the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit and the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office were initially contacted to access the crime scene.

However, due to the severity of the injuries sustained and nature of the incident, the DA’s office has taken an active role in the investigation, which remains ongoing.

“We are assisting in [Foxborough’s] investigation,” Traub said.
