Catherine Kieu Becker the 48-year-old California woman poisoned her husband's dinner, tied him to the bed, cut his penis off with a knife, tossed it in the garbage disposal, and turned it on.
Becker told officers that her husband "deserved it." Even though the couple was in the middle of a divorce, police did not find her motive acceptable.
On Monday night, police say Kieu spiked a meal and served it to the victim.
The 60-year-old man started to feel sick and went to lie down, then awoke tied to the bed as Kieu attacked him with a 25cm kitchen knife, police said.
She then put the penis down a garbage disposal, police said.
"It's hard to believe what would motivate a person to do this sort of thing," the district attorney's chief of staff, Susan Kang Schroeder, said outside court. "It's one of the worst things you could do to a person short of killing him."
Police did not release the victim's name. He underwent surgery and was listed in good condition at University of California at Irvine Medical Centre, hospital spokesperson John Murray said.
Murray declined to say whether the penis was re-attached or provide any additional details about the victim's condition, citing patient privacy laws.
Becker was arrested and charged with aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning and spousal abuse. Feel free to place your hands protectively over your crotch now, men and women.
