OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Court papers allege that an Olympia woman, angry that her husband left her, tampered with his power tools so that he received a powerful electric shock.

Carolyn Paulsen-Riat was booked Friday into the Thurston County Jail for investigation of third-degree assault, domestic violence, and second-degree malicious mischief. A judge released the 33-year-old woman on her own recognizance.

The Olympian newspaper reports that court documents say that on Jan. 1, the man was using a 220-volt table saw when he received the shock, knocking him to the ground. Thurston County sheriff's deputies say the man did not need to go to a hospital.

In the documents, deputies say the woman told them she had reversed the wires on his power tools because she was angry he was leaving.

Hard to imagine.

If you reversed the two lines, the saw operation would remain the same, and no shock hazard.

If you interchanged ground and one of the lines, you would have a serious shock hazard however the saw wouldn't work.

I guess the investigation will determine what happened.

That saw in the wikimedia photo looks like it came from the same factory as mine.
