BROOKSVILLE - The man who called 911 last week following his wife's death was arrested Monday afternoon on charges he violated his probation.
Robert Anthony Julig Jr., 64, was arrested shortly after 2:30 p.m. at 1477 Hastings Road, located a short distance west of the house he shared with his wife, Jackie Studer.
Paramedics arrived June 1 to the couple's home at the corner of Finland and Spring Hill drives and found Studer's body in her bedroom, deputies said.
The Hernando County Sheriff's Office responded moments later and opened a death investigation.
Julig was questioned and released, but picked up five days later on his latest charges, deputies said.
Two warrants were issued for Julig's arrest. The first was for violation of probation on a battery conviction. Deputies said he also violated probation on a charge of defying a domestic violence injunction.
The victim in both cases was Studer. Julig was convicted in April on both charges and was sentenced to one year probation.
Sgt. Donna Black, a sheriff's spokeswoman, said Studer's death remains open "pending toxicology and forensic testing." Detectives have not determined whether it was a homicide, suicide or accidental death.
"As I stated before, these are complex processes so it could be weeks before results are received," she said.
Black confirmed last week Studer died from a gunshot wound.
A property records search revealed the home on Hastings where Julig was apprehended was owned by his late wife.
Studer, 65, owned several houses, including the one the couple shared on Finland, friends and family said.
Studer was employed as a Realtor in Spring Hill.
Court records show Julig has been arrested and convicted several times. His charges include domestic battery and aggravated stalking.
Deputy Stephen Pritz, who arrested Julig on Monday, wrote in his arrest report that he detected "the odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from (his) breath" and also noticed he had "bloodshot watery eyes and slurred speech."
In February, Julig was arrested following accusations he violated a previous domestic violence injunction. The arrest came after Studer called 911 thinking her husband had swallowed a large amount of pills in an attempt to commit suicide, according to an arrest report.
The arresting deputy listened to the 911 call and stated she heard a man's voice "garbling in the background stating he (wanted) to die."
Julig was arrested in February because deputies discovered him in Studer's house. The injunction stated he was not allowed to live with or come in contact with Studer.
He was arrested again Monday for the same reasons, according to the sheriff's office.
Julig was transported Monday to the Hernando County Jail. He is being held without bond.
