Federal prosecutors have revealed details of the murder of an elderly woman by her husband for a very strange reason.
The 85-year-old man, Steven Schwartz, has been accused of stabbing his wife over a dispute over pancakes for breakfast.
Steven has claimed that the dispute was caused by his aversion to eating and her insistence on him eating pancakes. He also made other claims about his motivations for the stabbing. A Judge has now held the elderly man without bond and scheduled a preliminary hearing for January 2.
On Thursday, an elderly man, Steven Schwartz, was arrested in Washington, D.C., for killing his wife, Sharron Schwartz. Federal prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia released a statement announcing Steven’s arrest and shared details of the incident.
On Sunday, Steven allegedly fatally stabbed Sharon over a dispute over pancakes she’d prepared. The report stated that Steven “did not want to eat the pancakes she made and stabbed her in the back.”
The police arrived at the Schwartz home at 3:40 p.m. and found Sharron Schwartz with stabbing injuries and Steven Schwartz with multiple self-inflicted injuries. Court documents and the Washington Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that the couple was taken to the hospital, where Sharron later died.
Well, that will flap your jack….
A man can take only so many pancakes….where’s the meat and eggs??
“Steven Schwartz, 85, of Washington, D.C”
That place is FUBARED. Odds are a .GOV employee. Probably retired postal worker.
Even Oliver Wendell Douglas never went that far.
Pancakes just ain’t the same no more.
Different Tim, that’s because Mrs. Douglas was such a lousy cook and couldn’t make pancakes worth a damn that even Arnold Ziffle would not have eaten.
She shoulda made waffles. Waffles have a lower per capita murder death kill rate than pancakes. Pancakes are known for their atrocities: chocolate pancakes, blueberry pancakes, strawberry crepes… you get the gruesome picture. For waffles, you got two choices: traditional (unsweetened) and Belgian (oh, lord, the sugar in those things is atrocious!!). And you can put raspberries and other fruit ON TOP of your waffles if you’ve been good. And whipped cream with vanilla in it! But no powdered sugar! I’d have to keel you for that. And you doon’t want to be keeled over waffles!
If I had to go to prison,85 would be good…
maybe he just didn’t think that all the way through.
There’s only so much a man can take.
I started 3 different posts all supporting Steven over a supposed nagging shrew of a wife. Then it sank in: At 85, he might not be all there. And in a bad moment, he killed his life’s love and partner of more that 50 years.
May God have mercy on both of them.
Well I certainly wouldn’t murder over waffles.
I can’t believe this. A man has a woman who actually cooks hot meals and he kills her. What is happening in this world?
I won’t eat pancakes
Stop all your constant nagging
A knife to the back
A pancake Haiku
HONESTLY, THIS IS JUST SAD
He gets to eat bologna sandwiches and watch cartoons all day. I don’t think he’s girlfriend ready any longer, he’s just a spectator.
Sounds like he has the Joe Biden Disease …
