TULSA, Okla — Tulsa police arrested a man Monday in connection with a woman's death in south Tulsa.
Kevin Snoddy is in custody and accused of killing his wife Cheryl Thomas on Saturday.
Tulsa police responded to a call at Avondale Apartment Homes near 71st Street and Riverside for a welfare check.
Police said an out-of-state family member called in the welfare check for Thomas.
Jacob Ernst lives near Thomas' apartment, he told 2 News, "when I was coming home I saw cops talking among each other. There were more cop cars. I didn’t know what was going on it kind of seemed odd."
Police said when the apartment maintenance person opened the door, they found Thomas dead in the apartment.
Police say a tip from Tulsa Crime Stoppers led officers to Apache Manor apartments Monday night where they found Snoddy who they questioned and booked on a complaint of First-Degree Murder.
