I don't know why I laughed at this idiot so much, but I did.

A Rusk County nurse has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly prepared his wife a bubble bath, complete with candles and music, then tried to electrocute her by pushing a radio into the tub.

William Joseph Wolfe, 34, an emergency room nurse at Henderson Memorial Hospital, was out on $40,000 bail Monday. He was arrested Thursday night at his residence on a second-degree charge of criminal attempt at murder.

His wife, Teresa Wolfe, told police her husband had moved the radio from its usual place in the bathroom to a bench near the bathtub with an extension cord running into another room, according to an affidavit.

She said she caught the radio before it hit the water. She told police her husband's reaction was "not normal." She later discovered her husband had accessed Web sites dealing with bathtub electrocution, according to the affidavit.

A radio? What an amateur. Everyone knows you need to use the toaster.
