Dayton -- Democratic candidate Stephanie Studebaker notified Montgomery County officials Tuesday that she was quitting her bid for Ohio's 3rd Congressional District, which covers the Dayton area.
Studebaker, 45, had shut down her campaign after she and her husband were arrested for domestic violence over the weekend at their home in a suburban township.
A veterinarian and political newcomer, she was challenging Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, a former Dayton mayor.
Turner rolled up 60 percent of the vote when he ran for re-election in 2004 in nominally Democratic Montgomery County.
Montgomery County authorities got a 9-1-1 call Sunday from a man who said he was the father of Studebaker's husband, Sam. The man said she was beating her spouse.
Not having seen a picture of the former candidate, it's hard to say whether or not this constitutes a "dog bites man" story.
