A Maryland man accused of running over his wife with his car has pleaded guilty, prosecutors say.
Charles County State's Attorney Tony Covington announced in a statement Monday that Bryan Weyhenmayer, 33 pleaded guilty last week to first-degree murder in the 2014 death of his wife, 36-year-old Jennifer Weyhenmeyer.
Officials said that Jennifer Weyhenmeyer called 911 and reported she was in a car with Bryan Weyhenmeyer and that he had threatened her. The call ended abruptly and police found her dead 10 minutes later in the parking lot of a Pizza Hunt in Waldorf.
Officials said that she had been run over multiple times.
Police arrested Weyhenmeyer after he barricaded himself in their home. Officials said they found his wife's blood and hair on their car.
Jennifer Weyhenmeyer was a mother and stepmother who was pursuing a degree in social work, her obituary says.
Weyhenmeyer faces 30 to 45 years in prison at sentencing in March, officials say.
