OGDEN, Utah — A suspect wanted for murder in Wisconsin traveled to Utah before he was safely apprehended in Ogden over the weekend.
The Ogden Police Department shared video of the March 8 arrest of Randy Jenks, who was wanted in connection with a homicide in Wisconsin in which 75-year-old Patrica Mae Glenn was found dead inside a Waushara County home on Sunday.
Working with authorities in Wisconsin, Ogden police located Jenks inside a home near Fowler Avenue.
Ogden officers arrived at the scene and were able to take the 36-year-old into custody without incident before bringing him to the Weber County Jail, where he remains on a first-degree homicide charge.
Glenn was found dead after the Waushara County Sheriff's Office responded to the home the woman shared with Jenks in the Town of Mount Morris for a welfare check Sunday.
According to a criminal complaint, Jenks stated to a witness he stabbed the victim and had taken off to Utah to be with family, "I stabbed grandma in the living room, on the floor," he allegedly said.
Investigators say that the family claimed that Jenks had lived with the victim for more than a year prior to the incident.
Ogden police reached out to the person that Jenks was allegedly staying with and were told that he had arrived at their house at around 2:00 p.m. on March 8. The witness also told investigators that she overheard Jenks saying that he "killed grandma."
During a search of the home following Jenks' arrest, police say they found a folding knife covered in blood. When speaking to officers, Jenks admitted to the stabbing of Glenn saying she, "pushed him too far."
