A FAIRFIELD, CONNECTICUT, WOMAN REALLY, REALLY DIDN’T WANT her husband to leave her. Robert Drawbough had come back from Los Angeles with the intention of seeing if they could save their marriage. But his wife Helen wanted to make sure that it all worked out, so she arranged for him to stick around while they talked things out.

Step One was putting fresh locks on the bedroom door so that he couldn’t get out when he woke up Monday morning. And just to make sure, she went to Step Two, which involved handcuffing herself to him so that he couldn’t get away. All this before he woke up.
Step Three was apparently unplanned because when he woke up and found the situation he was in, he tried to leave anyway and she went into a rage and started biting him all over his torso and arms. A major tussle ensued and he had to call 9-1-1 to bring the cops and medics over. He was definitely in some pain, as you can hear when you listen to the call on this video:
The New York Daily News summarizes the toothy turn of events:
“My wife has handcuffed me – she’s attacking me,” he moaned to an emergency dispatcher in suburban Fairfield. “Please come and help me get out of here.”
He told the puzzled dispatcher he couldn’t keep his wife Helen Sun, 37, away from him – and screamed in high-pitched agony when she dug her chompers into his flesh.
“Owwwww! Oh God. She’s biting my arm,” Drawbough exclaimed on the 911 tape. “I’m using every hand to keep her away from me. I need help.”
Drawbough said she lost it because he dumped her and she wanted to patch up their marriage.
“I divorced her, tried to leave her,” he said. “Please send police.”
The police broke down the front door to get into the home and unlocked the handcuffs to free Drawbough. He was treated at the hospital for minor injuries and jilted Helen was arrested and charged with assault, reckless endangerment and unlawful restraint.
