Flower Street around 9 p.m. Monday night after a woman called 911 for a medical emergency, according to Lt. Jeff Nightengale. When officers arrived, they found a man bleeding from the crotch area.
The woman, identified as Catherine Kieu Becker, 48, the victim's wife, had put an unknown type of poison and/or drug into her husband's food to make him sleepy, according to Nightengale.
She then tied him to the bed. When he woke up, she cut off his penis with a knife, investigators said. She then tossed the penis in the garbage disposal and turned it on.
The victim was transported toUCI Medical Center in Irvine
Investigators say the couple was married, but going through a divorce. The initial investigation determined that Becker made dinner for her husband.
He told detectives that he thought there was something wrong with his food.
He went to lie down and woke up tied to his bed.
His wife then grabbed the victim's penis and cut it off.
She called 911 and told responding officers that he "deserved it."
The couple was married on December 29, 2009.
They separated in April and the victim filed for divorce in May citing "irreconcilable differences."
Nightengale said there was no history of domestic violence between the pair.
A search warrant was served at the home and detectives found a knife and a rope.
