Husband’s Snoring Lands Wife In Jail (AP Jun 17, 2005).  

Maybe DeAnn Miller-Boschert will finally be able to get some sleep—in jail.

Miller-Boschert, 45, stabbed her husband with a pen and hit him over the head with a 3-pound dumbbell to get him to stop snoring Thursday, police said. 

She was charged with simple assault, a misdemeanor, after her husband called police from a convenience store. 

Police Sgt. Jeff Skuza said the woman first poured water on her husband, but that did not wake him up.  “She then stabbed him with a pen in the arm twice,” he said. “After he went back to sleep after the pen thing, she woke him up again with a workout weight.” 

Skuza said the man was not seriously hurt and did not seek medical attention.  “He did have some scratches on his shoulders and arms that he said were from previous attacks,” Skuza said.  Skuza said the man returned to his home after calling police. 

“I assume he went back to sleep,” Skuza said.
