An Arkansas woman was arrested Saturday after authorities say she fatally shot her husband. Of particular note in this case is the reason the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says Patricia Hill gave for the deadly misdeed: her husband bought porn. Per Fox16.com, 69-year-old Hill admitted to police she killed 65-year-old Frank Hill following an argument that began after her husband purchased pornography on their television. In a statement, police said Patricia Hill canceled the purchase, but her husband then made a second one. Patricia Hill told police that she approached her husband in a shed outside the home and asked him to leave.

When he refused, Patricia Hill said she went back into the house and armed herself with a .22-caliber pistol. Back at the shed, she shot her husband twice, striking him once in the leg and once in the head, cops said. Immediately following the shooting, Patricia Hill told authorities she went back inside the house, put the gun back where it belonged, and called 911 to report what she had done. Her husband was discovered dead in the shed when police arrived. Patricia Hill is currently being held without bond on felony probable cause for capital murder.
