A Florida man is behind bars after his wife was found dead in a canal near their home following an argument over infidelity.

Jeffrey Ernest Evans, 43, is not currently facing charges in the death of his wife, Jessica Evans. Rather, he stands accused of domestic violence battery after she told him she cheated on him because she suspected he did the same, according to a probable cause arrest affidavit. Jeffrey Evans called 911 shortly before 9 p.m. Monday to say his wife was having a "mental break" and needed help at their home in the 9900 block of NW 15th Court in Coral Springs, cops wrote.

A few minutes later, dispatchers received a call from a neighbor who said he heard a woman screaming "My husband is trying to kill me!"
