Police: Wife, 70, knifes husband because he watched TV rather than prepare for Isabel
PORT ST. LUCIE -- Police said a woman cut her husband with a butcher knife because he wanted to watch football on television instead of getting ready for Hurricane Isabel.
Joan W. Harris, 70, faces a felony aggravated battery charge in the Sunday afternoon incident, police said.
``Apparently, the argument began while the husband was watching football, and the wife was insisting he make hurricane preparations,'' police spokesman Officer Kacey Donnell said Monday. ``He refused and said that he'd get to it at halftime.''
Harris grabbed an 8-inch butcher knife, chased her husband of 51 years into the bedroom, began ``stabbing at the door before gaining entry and flinging the knife at him, catching him in the lower leg,'' Donnell said.
Harris was freed from the St. Lucie County Jail late Monday under $10,000 bond, jailers said. They had no information on her legal representation.
Hurricane forecasters in Miami said earlier in the weekend that Isabel wasn't likely to hit Florida.
