A Florida man allegedly attempted to murder his sleeping wife Friday,
but succeeded only in breaking his own neck.
Steven Pinel, 49, allegedly shot his wife in the face at around 11:49
as she slept in their Bradenton home. The blow, however, "didn't
render her unconscious," Police ChiefMichael Radzilowski told the
Bradenton Herald.
Radzilowski said "there was anissue" with the gun and Pinel was unable
to keep firing. His wife was able to flee.
Pinel — wearing only underwear — also allegedly fled the scene,
according to Dreamin' Demon. Police say he crashed his vehicle in a
ditch, breaking his neck in theprocess.
He also allegedly tried to hijack the vehicle of someone who stopped
to help him, but failed because the woman refused to give him her car
keys and drove away, ManateeCounty Sheriff's spokesman Dave Bristow
told the Bradenton Herald.
He was arrested later that night and charged with attempted murder,
domestic battery and carjacking, according to the Manatee County
Sheriff's Office.
The woman's injuries were notlife-threatening.
Pinel is not the first alleged criminal to completely fail at
everything he tries. In October, alleged would-be identity thief
Joshua K. Pinneyshowed up at a Washington State bank in what may be
the worst disguise ever.
In May, a thief in Colombia was hit by a bus immediately after
snatching a woman's phone.
