NEVADA COUNTY, Calif. ?
A man was arrested in connection with the death of his mother and stepfather on Wednesday, according to the Nevada County Sheriff?s Office.
Deputies responded to the 15000 block of Greenhorn Road shortly before 11 p.m. after a man called 911 and told dispatchers ?he needed the police to respond and hung up the phone,? officials said.
Dispatchers tried to call the man back but he did not answer, and deputies were sent to the home for a welfare check, the sheriff?s office said.
When deputies arrived to the home, they found 60-year-old Dennis Wallace sitting on the deck and appearing agitated, officials said.
Wallace was then detained and deputies searched his home, where they found a man and a woman dead from blunt force trauma, the sheriff?s office said.
The initial investigation found that the victims were Wallace?s mother and stepfather.
Wallace was arrested and booked into Wayne Brown Correction on two murder charges, the Nevada County Sheriff?s Office said.
