Woman Tries To Saw Her Husband's Head Off

 Dawn Peel, a 50-year-old Minnesota woman was jailed Monday after she allegedly gave her boyfriend a kiss, asked him if he loved her, then attempted to saw through his neck with a knife.

According to police, officers were dispatched at 1:45 a.m. after the victim called 911 to report that he had been attacked by his girlfriend.

The man had fled from his residence after his girlfriend used a knife to "cut at his neck like she was slaughtering a goat or a cow," according to the arrest report.

The man told investigators that he was asleep on the couch when he awoke to find Peel kneeling over him. She then allegedly asked him if he loved her. When he answered "yes" she then kissed him on the forehead and said "this is the last time you'll see my eyes."

That's when Peel allegedly put a knife to the victim's neck and began sawing back and forth in a vigorous manner.

Investigators say the man was able to escape the slaughter, however he was bleeding heavily from the neck when police arrived on the scene.

The man was taken to a local hospital where he received 23 staples in his neck to stop the bleeding.

When officers arrived at the couple's house to question Peel, she answered the door completely naked. When officers asked how much alcohol she had been drinking, Peel answered "not enough."

She was booked into the Ramsey County Jail and charged with attempted murder. Her bail has been set at $75,000.
