W.Va murder suspects arrested in SD
Two murder suspects from West Virginia were arrested in the San Diego River bottom’s heavy brush near Hotel Circle Friday night, San Diego police said.
Christopher Robey, 26, and Megan Titus, 21, were arrested by San Diego police after they received a description of the wanted couple’s vehicle from police in Clarksburg, West Virginia.
An SDPD officer found the car at the Premier Inn, said San Diego police Sgt. Nick Borrelli. The couple were not in their room, but it looked like they may have heard police arriving and ran out, he said.
Police used a helicopter to flush out the alleged fugitives hiding in brush along the San Diego River. Police arrested them without incident, Borrelli said.
It is not known how long the couple have been in San Diego, but Robey was arrested on Morena Boulevard on Oct. 9 on suspicion of domestic violence, Borrelli said.
San Diego police officials told the newspaper that they did not have information about the homicide case and Clarksburg police would only say that the couple is wanted for questioning.
Robey is being held in the San Diego Central Jail downtown and Titus is at Las Colinas Detention Facility. Both are being held without bail.
Police in West Virginia would not comment on the nature of their interest in Robey and Titus, according to the State Journal newspaper there.
