Dawn Weiser, a 44-year-old Arkansas woman, has been jailed after she allegedly stabbed her husband repeatedly because he was snoring.
According to police, officers were dispatched to the couple's home after 43-year-old Doug Weiser awoke around 3:30 a.m. to find his wife repeatedly stabbing him with a butcher's knife.
Investigators say the victim wrestled the knife away from his wife before the couple's two teenage sons came to his aid.
The victim told detectives that he and his wife had argued that evening about his snoring, prompting her to sleep in a bedroom with one of their sons while he slept alone in the couple's bedroom.
Dawn Weiser told detectives that she awoke to a loud noise during the night and walked in to find her husband with stab wounds.
She went on to insist that an intruder was responsible for the stabbing, despite the evidence against her.
Investigators say Dawn later confessed to stabbing her husband and then hiding the knife.
The issue of snoring had apparently annoyed Dawn to a point where she began mentioning it on various social media sites like Twitter.
Dawn Weiser was booked into the Washington County Detention Center and charged with suspicion of attempted murder. She was released after posting $25,000 bond.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for a punctured spleen, a lacerated liver and three stab wounds.
He filed for divorce a few days later, according to court records.
