A Council Bluffs man was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder early Sunday after his wife was found dead in the couple's apartment.
Bobbie Jean Tucker, 54, was pronounced dead about 12:40 a.m. in the apartment at 619 S. Sixth St.
Michael A. Tucker, 45, was arrested after being questioned at Council Bluffs police headquarters. He was being held in the Pottawattamie County Jail.
Michael Tucker called 911 to report that his wife was unresponsive, said Sgt. Dave Dawson. After medics determined that Bobbie Jean Tucker was dead, police were called.
Bobbie Jean Tucker appeared to be have been “violently assaulted,” Dawson said.
An autopsy was scheduled for today in Ankeny, Iowa.
A neighbor of the Tuckers, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the couple had lived in the apartment for three months. The neighbor said the Tuckers often fought and did so again Saturday night.
Bluffs police asked anyone with information about the case to call the Criminal Investigation Bureau at 712-328-5737.
