Police: Wis. Woman Killed For Taking Call During Sex

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A Milwaukee man is accused of killing a woman because she answered her phone while they were having sex.

A criminal complaint filed in Milwaukee County charges 46-year-old Garron Lewis with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of 44-year-old Sharron Dorsey over the Thanksgiving weekend.

The complaint says Lewis went to another man's house Nov. 27 and was crying when he told him he had killed Dorsey. When the man asked why, Lewis said that he killed her because she answered her phone during sex.

The complaint alleges Lewis confessed to a detective that he killed Dorsey by strangling her with a belt.

The Milwaukee County medical examiner's report says Dorsey died of asphyxiation due to strangulation.
