Man indicted in 2004 shooting death of wife
A Swift County grand jury has indicted a corrections officer on charges of first- and second-degree murder in the shooting death of his wife in their Appleton home in 2004.
Court records show the indictments against 34-year-old Andrew Gordon Lemcke were issued Monday.
The Web site for the Pinal County sheriff's office in Florence, Ariz., says he was arrested there Sunday.
Other court records say Lemcke had been living in recent years in Florence, where he had worked at a Corrections Corporation of America facility.
Nichole Riley-Lemcke was shot Sept. 12, 2004. The 26-year-old was a mother of three.
Andrew Lemcke has described the shooting as accidental.
Riley-Lemcke's parents had been pressing authorities to file criminal charges ever since the shooting. They filed a wrongful death suit against him last year.
