Man Tries To Drown Wife In Dog Bowl After Fight Over Frozen Pizza
2012-12-15
[Tampa.CBSLocal] Orange City police say a man tried to kill his wife by holding her head in a dog bowl full of water after they fought over pizza.

Police arrested Richard Watson, 47, after they received a violent disturbance report in an apartment.

According to the police report, Debra Watson started watching the "12-12-12" benefit concert while her husband was in another room and he joined her after his show was over.

The two then got into a fight about the frozen pizza that was cooked after Richard Watson complained the crust was "raw" and flung his dinner plate on the floor. Debra Watson also threw her plate on the floor in response.

Police say that is when Richard Watson tackled his wife, grabbed her head, and shoved her face into the dog's water bowl.

"She felt her life was going to end," Orange City Commander Jason Sampsell told the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

The paper reports that Debra was able to break free, but then her husband backed her against a corner and tried to strangle her.

#7  Dawn Hochsprung (the school Principle) was gunned down in Friday's massacre in Newtown. Board of Education chairwoman Debbie Liedlien says administrators were coming out of a meeting when the gunman forced his way into the school and (she) ran toward him.

Gun control freaks should take the rap for the murder of these little, innocent children. This could have been prevented at the start if the staff had concealed permits.

#2  In reality one of her high heels gave out and she sorta fell onto the water bowl.
The husband is a good kid and the couple's privacy should be respected.
