A 69-year-old Palm Springs woman was accused of attempting to cut off her husband’s penis with a pair of large scissors this weekend. Her effort failed, although the husband was treated for a non-life-threatening wound in the genital area and released from a local hospital, police said.

Virginia Valdez was charged with mayhem, assault with a deadly weapon and felony domestic violence in the alleged attack Saturday evening, according to Palm Springs police. She was released Sunday on $100,000 bond and faces a court hearing next month, they said.

Palm Springs Police Sgt. Kyle Stjerne said the couple had been married for 32 years and the cause of Saturday’s fight at their home in the 1700 block of Rochelle Road remains under investigation.

“It was just a long-standing marital dispute, and we are not sure what caused her to do it,” he said.

The 62-year-old husband’s name was not released.

Police recovered the scissors and will retain them as evidence. Stjerne described the scissors as resembling poultry shears. “They were more heavy duty than the standard office scissors,” he said.

Must be something in the water out here in California. First Catherine Becker in LA, now it's spread to Palm Springs. Better get back to the Midwest soon, or my Tim might be next.

looking at a map of Palm Springs, maybe the air traffic noise from the airport finally got to her, and cutting her husbands penis off was her only way to vent the frustration.

If I remember my trips to Palm Springs correctly, the neighborhood in question is lower-middle class as the workers tend to live out in the north and east part of town, and the wealthy homeowners are closer to downtown and against the huge mountain there. Not sure if that location has anything to do with the situation that would cause her to get to that point, but if they were struggling like many in the area, it could be a sign of the stress.

Then again, her husband could simply be a prick that nearly lost his.

--LTWell, we're not on the approach path for an airport, and the urge to cut hasn't gotten totally out of hand yet. Maybe Tim's safe. We leave California at the end of the week.

I'm not sure why this is the second most recent California episode, but attempted penectomies seem to be on the rise:)

On the rise? Or, are the reports becoming more common, not kept in secret?

This article has a picture of the woman: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nationa ... bled=false

Actually, I'd probably let my cock get cut off to avoid sleeping with that woman.
