Woman Shoots Husband Dead for Buying Porn

The couple’s home in Arkansas

A woman was arrested in Arkansas over the weekend after telling police she shot and killed her husband because he bought pornography.

In a news release, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said it responded after 69-year-old Patricia Hill told dispatchers she just shot her 65-year-old husband, Frank.

When police arrived at the home they found Frank Hill dead in a shed on the property, with two gunshot wounds to the upper and lower body.

Hill reportedly told the police that she arrived home and went to the shed on her property to confront her husband, but there had never been any physical altercations between the couple.

“However, Mrs. Hill stated that she disagreed with her husband’s purchase of video pornography via the television guide, which she canceled upon discovering the purchase, but Mr. Hill managed to place a subsequent order,” Maj. Lafayette Woods, Jr. said. “Mrs. Hill stated that she entered the shed and asked her husband to leave but he refused.”

She then went back to their home and got a .22 caliber pistol with which she killed him.

“She went back to the shed a short time later, where she entered and shot her husband twice, striking him once in the leg and once in the head,” Woods said. “Immediately following the shooting, Mrs. Hill stated that she returned inside the residence, where she returned the weapon and called 911 to report the shooting.”

She is presently in a detention center on felony probable cause for capital murder.
