WAUPACA, Wis. - A rural woman was charged with substantial battery for allegedly cutting her husband's penis with scissors — an injury that required 15 stitches to repair.
A criminal complaint said the husband let his wife, Theresa L. Hedtke, bind his hands with duct tape. Hedtke then used the scissors in an effort to get him to confess to having an affair, according to the complaint.
Hedtke, 42, allegedly told police she didn't intend to cut her husband. He was treated at New London Family Medical Center.
Hedtke appeared Monday in Waupaca County Circuit Court, where Judge Raymond Huber released her on a $5,000 signature bond.
The substantial battery charge carries maximum three and a-half years in prison upon conviction.
