Ex-Wife Arrested In Shooting Death Of Central Valley Officer
VISALIA, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities have arrested the ex-wife of a police officer who was found slain at his Central Valley home.
Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux says 23-year-old Erika Sandoval of Visalia was arrested on Saturday in the shooting death of the Exeter police officer.
The officer -- identified as 31-year-old Daniel Green -- was found dead Friday at his home in Goshen. Green was a 10-year veteran of the department.
Boudreaux says investigators have a motive in Green's killing, and evidence linking his ex-wife to the crime but he wouldn't elaborate.
He said the couple divorced about two years ago and have a 2-year-old son who's been placed in the care of relatives.
