Arraigned today

By Kirsten Swann

Tonya Mackey, wife of four-time Iditarod champion Lance Mackey, found herself facing assault charges in Anchorage court today.

Anchorage police said they responded to the Millenium Hotel around 9 p.m Monday, where charging documents claim Mackey caused "reckless physical injury" to a family member referred to by the initials "L.M."

Lt. Dave Parker, a spokesman for the Anchorage Police Department, said responding officers found enough physical evidence to take Mackey into custody, and she was held without bail until her arraignment today.

Tonya is a drunk, and a crazy drunk at that..I don't know the deal with him...maybe drugs but unsure about that one. She's also a cheater..so I'm assuming that's why she was arrested at a hotel and not at home where people usually beat on each other

what is even more insane is the fact that more men than women are raped each year by other men. mostly due to prison rapes by minority's on white males. let's not talk about that tho....

Hold the schadenfruede, they´ll tough it out. They´ve been through a lot together and no, they are not an entirely normal couple but there is a lot of love there believe it or not. I am not a ´fan´ either, just a person who´s involved in the dog racing game.

Drugs and alchol make you do dumb stuff, but that doesn't excuse the action.

Not so crazy Rich. If a man hits a woman even in defense, he can wind up in jail and has repeatedly in the past. So, what's good for the gander is also good for the goose. NOBODY deserves to be hit.
