A woman in Virginia upset over a “botched” pizza order got her husband to allegedly stab and disembowel a worker who was arguing with her about it, according to police.
“Handle the situation,” said Catherine Harper, 45, in a phone call with her husband, Corey Harper, 47, after she got into an argument with a 24-year-old employee at the fast-casual pizza chain Mod Pizza.
Court documents obtained by the local NBC affiliate WAVY describe the mid-day attack in graphic detail, with it allegedly being over a “botched order” from the Seattle -based pizza joint.

“The Victim was stabbed several times, in the back, in the front, and one long cut across the torso exposing the Victim’s intestines,” a Nov. 18 filing reads. “[Corey Harper] and wife left the scene,” the document adds. A judge in Norfolk General District Court ordered the couple to be held without bond on Monday following their arraignment.
Case records show Corey Harper is facing felony charges of malicious wounding and brandishing a firearm, while his wife is charged with conspiracy to commit malicious wounding. The two of them are due to appear in court again on Jan. 14.
