Dulce Requena Garcia was kept behind bars for 12 hours (CEN)

Dulce Requena Garcia, 21, spent 12 hours behind bars in Tampico, Mexico after her husband complained that she refused to do his laundry.

She was fined 400 pesos for "causing a disturbance" after the cops were called due to the couple's domestic dispute. When she could not pay the fine and her husband refused to pay it for her, Dulce was ordered to spend 12 hours in a prison cell.

Her husband, truck driver Edgar Ivan Perez Alvarado, said that his wife accused him of planning to meet a mistress and therefore would not iron his clothes. He was so frustrated by her refusal and accusation that he called the police to have her arrested. He told the police that his wife spends too much time in front of the television and neglects to do the housework.

The police officers have received back lash about their involvement in the domestic dispute.
