Murfreesboro, TN: Former Fire Fighter Charged with Wife's Death

Posted: Jan 16, 2011 9:26 PM EST
MURFREESBORO, Tenn.- A former firefighter charged for his wife's death may have to defend himself against a law that's rarely used.

Timothy Hicks was arrested Thursday. His wife died in August of 2009. Investigators believe Hicks helped her commit suicide.

Her body was then dumped along a highway. Rutherford County Prosecutors say they will charge Hicks under the assisted suicide law, which prevents people from helping others kill themselves.
