A woman was arrested after calling 911 and admitting to fatally shooting her husband of 15 years.
/Gray News) - An Alabama woman was arrested after calling 911 and admitting to fatally shooting her husband of 15 years. Investigators say she later told them she was simply bothered and annoyed by him.
Franklin County deputies responded to a Russellville home after receiving a 911 call from 65-year-old Sheri Mitchell-Clutts just before 7:30 p.m. Sunday. There, they found 69-year-old Timothy Clutts dead in his recliner with a single gunshot wound to the chest. Investigators say when Mitchell-Clutts called 911, she told dispatchers she felt threatened throughout the day leading up the shooting, but when investigators sat her down for questioning, they got a different story.
Sheriff Shannon Oliver says Mitchell-Clutts admitted right away that she shot and killed her husband of 15 years. It wasn’t until later that she told investigators she was simply bothered and annoyed by the victim.
“Her demeanor seemed obviously upset from what little interaction I had with her at the scene, but you never know what’s going through somebody’s mind,” Oliver said. About two weeks ago, Mitchell-Clutts had open heart surgery. She allegedly told deputies her husband kept coming into her room and bothering her, so she got her gun out in case he came back. When he didn’t, investigators say she went to find him and shot him in his recliner.
Oliver says normally, cases are not this cut and dry.
“There’s a number of cases where someone does something like this you’re actually having to track them down and find them and build evidence based on the scene, and in this situation, she was pretty open,” Oliver said. “Which leads us to a bunch of questions like what was going on with her or him. ” Even though Mitchell-Clutts is in custody, the investigation is ongoing.
The sheriff says this is because they need to know the history and what led up to the shooting.
“We’re going through at this time, but as of right now, we’ve gotten the call log and went back six years. At this point, there’s, that we can find, no domestic related calls there,” Oliver said. Mitchell-Clutts was booked Sunday night into the Franklin County Jail without bond pending an Aniah’s Law hearing.
