DUNLAP, TN — A Tennessee man, Jonathan Belk, 41, is in custody following a violent incident at his home in Dunlap. The event unfolded on Saturday when Belk returned early from a trip to find his 31-year-old wife in bed with 18-year-old Billy J. Floyd. Authorities allege that Belk stabbed Floyd to death and placed his body in a trash can. The confrontation took place at a residence in the 400 block of Powerline Road, roughly 40 miles north of Chattanooga.
