A 71-year-old North Carolina woman is in police custody for striking her husband in the head with a frying pan several times after he complained about what she cooked for breakfast.

Mrs. Lewis is being held in the Halifax County Jail without bond, charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
