Investigators said the married couple lived together in their Fort Ripley home, and over the past two weeks they gathered enough evidence and information needed to arrest the husband.
According to an online obituary, the couple married Oct. 20, 2011, at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas. The pair “were inseparable” and loved to travel. She loved dachshunds and was “devoted to her children,” the obituary said.
McClelland was charged with murder in the second degree and criminal vehicular homicide. He was booked into the Crow Wing county jail and is awaiting a court date, according to online jail records.
McClelland was convicted of a DUI in 2006 and served 90 days in jail, in addition to being required to complete alcohol and drug classes, according to court records.
