DUMB CRIMINAL OF THE WEEK: HE TRIED TO ELECTROCUTE HIS PREGNANT WIFE

by Hazed

Deputies in Knoxville, Tennessee have arrested a man who set up an elaborate contraption to electrocute his wife.

Michael Scott Wilson told his wife that she had to “use the front door because the garage door is not going to open,” and to make sure the child didn’t open the door because “I don’t want her getting hurt,” investigators said. She was suspicious so called the cops.

When the deputies arrived at the house they noticed that the door had burn marks on it, and appeared to be barricaded. One officer kicked the door in and found an electrical device was hooked up to the top lock and the lower door handle, connected to a wall electrical socket.

Deputies said that it was clear Wilson had rigged the door to deliver a serious shock to anyone who opened it. The device even had a backup battery so it would continue to be dangerous even if the home lost power.

Wilson has no electrical training, and deputies think he learned how to set up the booby trap on the internet.

Court records show that Wilson’s wife filed for divorce two weeks before deputies found the booby trap.
