info86-year-old Florida man threatened to kill wife

According to his wife, Daniel Zehnal, who relies on a cane, had fallen in his room. She attempted to help him up, but he refused her assistance.

Zehnal eventually got up on his own and confronted his wife in the kitchen. He had suffered an injury in the fall and deliberately wiped his blood from that injury on his wife.

He then knocked a phone from her hand and used his cane to push it under a table so she could not reach it. When deputies arrived Zehnal refused to cooperate and injured his arms. He was loaded onto a stretcher and taken to a local hospital for treatment. While he was being treated, he told medical personnel that he would kill his wife.
