CARROLLTON, Texas (AP) - A man authorities say beat his ex-wife
to death with a baseball bat before perching himself on an overpass
for about 90 minutes today has been charged with murder in her
death.
Dallas police say that 38-year-old Brent Douglas Stephens was in
jail this afternoon on a $1 million bond.
Police say that Stephens waited for his ex-wife, 36-year-old
Denise A. Stephens, to get to work this morning at a Dallas office
and then attacked her with a bat. She was taken to the hospital,
where she later died.
About an hour after Dallas police were called to her place of
work, police in the Dallas suburb of Carrollton say they were
alerted by a driver to a man who looked like he might jump.
Carrollton police say Brent Stephens spent some of the time
sitting with his feet dangling over the ledge of westbound George
Bush Turnpike over Interstate 35.
