Steven Schwartz has been arrested and charged with the murder of his wife Sharron Schwartz, 81, when he reportedly took umbrage with her meal early on Sunday, Dec. 10.
Schwartz did not want to eat the pancakes, and he took out that frustration on his wife, officials say, who was then rushed to an area hospital, where she later died.
He was also reportedly taken to the hospital with what police described as "self-inflicted injuries" after stabbing his wife in the back.
The incident was called in at around 3:40 p.m. on Dec. 10 in the 1300 block of Corcoran Street NW, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Schwartz was charged with second-degree murder while armed. He's being held without bond pending his preliminary hearing on Jan. 2.
