A 60-year-old Texas man accused of killing 3 people and injuring 2 others was arrested after he was found hiding in a wooded area with a swastika drawn on his forehead, authorities say.
Wettstein later visited a third home and got into an argument with Marvin Rumley and his adult daughter, Amanda, about their dog before shooting the father and daughter, authorities said.The sheriff’s office did not give a motive for the shootings but said that Wettstein was known in the neighborhood for “ranting” about the dogs that were allowed to roam freely.
He was arrested Monday, armed with a shotgun and rifle, hiding in nearby woods with a swastika drawn on his forehead. He is being held without bond on a capital murder charge at the Liberty County Jail, according to inmate records. He may be charged with additional felonies as the investigation continues, according to the sheriff’s office.
