Ex-Navy man accused of torturing wife in Conn.

GROTON, Conn. (AP) — A former Navy man is being detained under a suicide watch after being charged with torturing his wife in their home for nearly five hours.

The Day of New London reports that 36-year-old James Tapp of Groton was charged Monday with kidnapping, cruelty to persons, assault and other crimes.

The woman told police the ordeal began at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday and ended at about 5 a.m. Monday.

She alleges Tapp beat her, squeezed her finger with pliers, threatened to shoot her and threatened to slice her from ear to ear with a knife.

The woman also alleges Tapp suffers from a stress disorder and brain injury from deployments to Iraq.
