Circus Worker Fatally Stabbed by Ex-Wife

DES MOINES, Iowa — Police have arrested a Florida woman who apparently followed her ex-husband across the country and then stabbed him repeatedly in a Davenport mall.

Debi Joy Droguett Olson, of Sarasota, Fla., was charged Thursday with first-degree murder and willful injury in the death of her 52-year-old ex-husband, Mauricio Droguett, said Jerry Feuerbach, assistant county attorney.

He said Mauricio Droguett was walking inside the NorthPark Mall about 7:30 a.m. Thursday when he was stabbed multiple times on the front and back sides of his body. One of his co-workers reportedly subdued Olson until police arrived a few minutes later. That man suffered minor injuries, Feuerbach said.
