According to WCSO Undersheriff Steve Johnson, the arrests come following ‘an intensive investigation’ conducted by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office investigators, Washington County District Attorney’s Office and the OSBI.
‘The manner of death is listed as homicide by the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner’s office,’ he said. ‘This matter is still under investigation.’

Their bond has not been set and they are being held in Washington County Jail.
