It's important in any relationship that both parties should be able to have their own private space. But a man from Arkansas may have taken that a little too far, as he now faces charges over booby trapping his bedroom door so that his wife couldn't get in.
Authorities say that Herbert Caldwell Jr, 44, of Elkins, Arkansas rigged up an electrical fence - normally used to pen livestock in – so that it attached to the doorknob of the bedroom door. When his wife touched the doorknob – hooked up to the electric fence by a wire coathanger – it sent around 110V through her.
Police were called to the house at around 3.30 in the morning of Monday – the third domestic disturbance call they'd had to the house in three days.
Caldwell's wife was not seriously injured in the booby trapping incident, although reports do say she had 'a lump on her forehead'.
Caldwell has now been charged with misdemeanour third-degree domestic battery, felony installation of a booby trap, and something called 'terroristic threatening'.
It's suppose to keep the cow inside
