Man Booby Traps Ex-Wife’s Dryer To Explode

In August, a judge ordered 49-year-old Dean Weeks of Clinton, Massachusetts to fix his ex-wife Doreen’s dryer as part of the couple’s divorce settlement.

Dean worked on the dryer and texted Doreen to tell her to test it out. She did . . . and it EXPLODED.

Doreen suffered severe burns on her legs, and the blast blew her little dog out the second-floor window. (The dog survived and is doing fine.)

Dean was arrested and charged with four counts of assault. Police think he booby-trapped the dryer to kill Doreen . . . so he could keep the house for himself.

Dean pled not guilty to the charges on Thursday.
