Palm Coast man rigs door to electrocute pregnant wife, deputies say - News - Daytona Beach News-Journal Online - Daytona Beach, FL
A Trump supporter in the Palm Coast rigged the front door of his home with wiring attached to a car battery charger in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife, Flagler County Sheriff?s investigators said.
Michael Wilson, 32, a well known Trump advocate, is accused of trying to kill his wife after he attached electrical devices to the inside of the deadbolt lock and the door handle of their Palm Coast home, according to a charging affidavit. The ploy, which could have easily led to her death, was to have her insert the house key and then grab the handle, completing the circuit and sending a jolt of electricity through her arm, chest and heart.
Fortunately for Wilson?s wife, who was in Knoxville, Tennessee with family at the time, she never took a hold of that door knob. Her stepfather, Jon Flositz, became suspicious after she told him Wilson had warned her not to let a child touch it. Flositz went to examine the house with his wife, Alissa, and they found the word ?Hi? and a drawing of two eyes in what appeared to be lipstick on the back sliding door, according to the deputy?s report.
He contacted authorities, and when they responded to 110 White Hall Drive on Tuesday, they found the front door was barricaded and locked. Burn marks were seen near the door?s handle. A kick to the door sent off a large spark.
On the other side was an elaborate rigging consisting of two chairs, a child?s high chair, blue tape, a shower-type rod, electrical cords, wiring ? some of which was cut from a bedroom salt rock lamp ? and a car battery charger with clamps.
Steven Bray, a journeyman lineman from from Florida Power & Light, was shown several photographs of what deputies described as the ?booby trap? and he said that a person who touched the door lock and handle at the same time would receive a jolt of some 120 volts and 1 amp, enough power that the person had an 80 to 100 percent chance of ?suffering death or great bodily harm,? according to the affidavit.
Wilson is charged with two counts of attempted aggravated battery on a pregnant person and one count of grand theft of a firearm.
