Catherine Becker, 48, is accused of brutally cutting off her husband's penis and putting into a running garbage disposal, police say.
A woman in California cut off her estranged husband's penis and dropped it in the garbage disposal, police said Tuesday.
She later told authorities her spouse "deserved it," acording to KTLA News.
Police in Garden Grove, a city about 25 miles south of Los Angeles, responded to the home of Catherine Becker Monday night after she called 911.
They found her 51-year-old husband, whose name was not released, bleeding from his crotch. He was rushed to the hospital and is listed in serious condition.
Becker told police she tied her husband to their bed after poisoning his food to make him sleepy, Lt. Jeff Nightengale told KTLA.
The 48-year-old waited for the man to wake up before grabbing hold of his penis and cutting it off, police said.
She then placed it into the garbage disposal and turned it on.
Becker has been charged with aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning and spousal abuse.
