CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A soldier faces a criminal homicide charge after his wife was found shot to death early Tuesday.

The Leaf Chronicle reports Clarksville Police responding to a welfare check found 25-year-old Sena Marie Downing's body. They put out an alert for a Ford Explorer with Fort Campbell decals.

The vehicle turned up in Robertson County where the police also found 31-year-old Jonathan Clyde Downing hiding in the woods. Police talked with him for a couple of hours before arresting him without incident at around noon.

Clarksville Police spokesman Jim Knoll said officers then transported Downing to the Montgomery County Jail to be booked. Knoll did not know whether Downing had obtained a lawyer.
