Florida husband beat cheating wife’s bedmate with bat: cops
An irate Florida husband bludgeoned a man bloody with an aluminum bat after catching him in bed with his wife, according to a CBS 2 report.
John Dimmig, 33, of Lake Worth, is facing attempted murder charges after he allegedly burst into the victim’s Airbnb and caught him in the act with his startled spouse, the station reported.
Responding to a 911 call, deputies entered the Lake Worth Beach residence and found the living room spattered with blood.
The red trail led to the apartment’s bedroom, where the badly bloodied victim was lying on his back while holding a towel to his head.
According to an arrest report, he told deputies he was a technician who works with CT scan medical equipment from Arizona who had come to Florida for work.
He said Dimmig’s wife was his coworker and they had gone out for drinks after work before returning to his Airbnb.
While in bed with her, he suddenly heard the front door open before seeing Dimmig charging towards him with a bat in hand.
The enraged husband pinned him down and bashed him three times with the metal club, according to the report.
“I felt like he was out to kill me,” he told responding officers.
Dimmig screamed at his nemesis, warning the man not to go near his wife. She finally pulled her husband off of the victim before Dimmig fled the scene.
A video camera in the apartment captured her imploring him to end the assault.
“John!,” she could be heard screaming. “Stop! He’s bleeding!”
Dimmig responded in kind, calling someone a “piece of s—t” inside the apartment.
Deputies later went to Dimmig’s home and found him loading his Hyundai accent with two bags of clothes.
His wife later signed off on a search warrant, and police found a black bat along with bloody garments.
Dimmig denied the assault, but was placed under arrest. He is next slated to appear in court on July 17.
