CCSO said they arrested Dean Nelson, 52, of Crystal River, for the death of his wife, Christine Nelson, 47.
Deputies said they were called to a home off of North Rock Crusher Road on Jan. 27 and found Christine dead in the house from what investigators determined was an overdose of methamphetamine.
CCSO said they were able to find that Dean had given his wife the dose of methamphetamine that ended up leading to her death.
Dean was charged with murder on March 10 and is being held in jail without bond at the Citrus County Detention Facility.
'Cruise lights' on Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office patrol cars raise questions, confusion among drivers
Every driver knows that when you see red and blue flashing lights on a patrol car, you slow down, pull over, or get out of the way.
But in Hillsborough County, drivers will also now see deputies with their lights on, but not flashing. They're called "cruise lights," and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) recently implemented their use on all patrol vehicles.
