The Bloomington Police Department served a warrant Tuesday morning for the arrest of a man in connection with the fatal shooting of his wife.
Thomas Fallis, 34, was arrested at his Laurel Wood Drive home at about 8:30 Tuesday morning, BPD Sgt. Pam Gladish said.
The warrant was served for the Evans Police Department in Colorado. Fallis’ wife, Ashley, was reportedly found dead New Year’s Day in 2012 with a gunshot wound to the head.
On Monday, a Weld County, Colo., grand jury indicted Fallis, a former Weld County law enforcement officer, for second-degree murder, which led to the arrest warrant. Fallis moved to Bloomington with the couple’s three children sometime after his wife’s death.
According to FOX 31 Denver, the death was ruled a suicide days after she was found. However, the investigation was reopened when new evidence was presented in April that included an eyewitness account of Fallis’ neighbor, who reportedly heard Fallis admit to the murder outside of the neighbor’s window.
Sgt. Gladish said Fallis was taken into custody without incident and was remanded to the Monroe County Jail.
