DICKSON, Tenn. (WTVF) — A middle Tennessee woman is in the hospital after police say her husband stabbed her multiple times and then set their Dickson home on fire.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and local police are working together to get more details in the case.
Monday evening firefighters responded to a call at a home on North Charlotte Street, not far from North Main Street. When they arrived they found heavy smoke coming from inside the home and a woman laying by the back door with a knife still inside her.
According to the TBI, agents later found that 28-year-old Zachary Mowel allegedly attacked his wife, doused her with gasoline, and then set the home on fire. This morning Mowel is facing multiple charges including attempted first-degree murder. He's being held in the Dickson County Jail on $765,000 bond.
As for his wife, we're still working to get an update on her condition. We have a GoFundMe linked for those who would like to help.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
