ST. PETERSBURG - A St. Petersburg woman flew into a rage because her husband was watching Monday Night Football and stabbed him repeatedly with a knife, police said.
Delois Holley, 61, was charged with attempted felony murder and is being held in the Pinellas County Jail.
St. Petersburg Police spokesman Mike Puetz says the victim was watching the New England Patriots thrash the New York Jets at the family home in the Arlington Arbor Apartments. "His wife became upset. She obtained a knife and stabbed him multiple times," Puetz said.
Holley was not only a football widow, she was apparently also a newlywed. Police say Holley told them she and her husband had only been married five months and still had separate apartments.
She claimed the argument was over money and not Monday Night Football.
The victim was stabbed seven times. Police say Holley confessed to the crime.
