McIver's lawyers appeared in court Tuesday in an unsuccessful attempt to block the release of those documents.

The 66-year-old councilman is charged with allegedly grabbing his wife by the throat and arm several times last month.

The 911 calls reveal an initial conversation with McIver's wife and then police dispatchers speak with McIver himself.

Dispatcher: “Your wife said you and she were arguing and she apparently called 911. We’re coming out there to see.”

McIver: "OK, you want to come to the house?”

Dispatcher: “Yes, we’re coming to the house.”

McIver: “I’ll be there. It’s just that she’s an alcoholic.”

Dispatcher: “OK, have you guys been drinking tonight?”

McIver: “She has. And I have. I just got home.”

Dispatcher: “So you both have been drinking?”

McIver: “Yes.”

Dispatcher: "All right. We’ll see you there.”

McIver was later arrested.

His trial is set to start next month.
