Wife cuts man with power saw, police say Oct. 18, 2011 09:39 AM Associated Press EVERETT, Wash. -- Police in Everett, Wash., say a woman is accused of cutting her sleeping husband's neck and shoulder with a power saw. Officers who arrived at the home say they could hear the man shouting: "You tried to cut my head off. You're going to jail." The Daily Herald reports the 43-year-old woman appeared in court Monday on a charge of domestic violence assault and a judge kept her bail at $250,000. The newspaper did not identify her. Police say the woman told officers she grabbed the reciprocating saw Friday night because an intruder escaped out her daughter's window. Sgt. Robert Goetz says there was no evidence of an intruder and a child lock prevented the window from opening more than a few inches. The 36-year-old man was treated at a hospital.
Washington woman arrested for trying to cut husband's head off with power saw as he slept BY Christina Boyle DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Tuesday, October 18th 2011, 11:09 AM A Washington woman has been arrested for trying to cut her sleeping husband's neck and shoulder with a power saw. "It was you, it was you," officers heard the man shouting when they arrived at the Everett home Friday night, according to a police affidavit. "You tried to cut my head off. You're going to jail." The woman, 43, told cops she was holding the Sawzall power tool because an intruder had escaped out of her daughter's window, according to the Daily Herald. Officers did not believe her account after checking the girl's room and finding it was fitted with a child lock and could not open more than a few inches. "There was no evidence there was an intruder," Everett police Sgt. Robert Goetz said. The wife was arrested for first-degree domestic violence assault and a judge set bail at $250,000 Monday in Everett District Court. The husband, 36, said he woke up to find a power tool on his neck, which was switched on. He was treated in hospital for cuts to his neck and shoulder, according to reports. The victim said it was dark when he first woke but witnessed his wife holding the power saw as soon as he turned the light on. He also told police he was cut with a hatchet. Officers saw smeared blood on the woman's clothes, blood was splattered on the carpet and walls inside the family home and also on a saw found on the bedroom floor, the Daily Herald reported. A hatchet in the kitchen was wet and appeared to have been freshly washed, court records state. |
