Booby Trapped Doorknob

Elkins (AP) –    Elkins police have arrested a man who allegedly rigged a doorknob in his home so it would shock his wife.

Forty-four-year-old Herbert Caldwell Junior is charged with installing a booby trap, domestic battery and terroristic threatening. Officers summoned to Caldwell’s home found electric fencing of the type used for cattle installed so a bedroom doorknob would shock anyone who touched it.
   Police say the trap was rigged to keep Caldwell’s wife out of the bedroom. Investigators say the woman wasn’t seriously injured by the shock

Now he is a dumbass for doing that.  But I can’t seem to decide who is the dumberasser.  The man or the prosecuter for putting on ‘terroristic threatening’  come on!!  BASTARDS!!
