ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) -- Trisha Stubbs, the 20-year-old St. George woman who was found dead from a gunshot wound, was to have appeared in court Thursday on charges of possession of amphetamines and drug paraphernalia.
Instead her body was found by off-roaders Saturday near Toquerville Falls. It was believed the woman was shot in the head sometime between Jan. and Saturday at the site where the body was found.
Authorities have arrested three adults and one juvenile, who are being investigated in the shooting.
Washington County sheriff's Lt. Jake Adams said Kyle Sheldon Jensen, 20, of Ivins and Tina Eileen Roberts, 34, of Hurricane were being held Purgatory Correctional Facility on $1 million cash-only bail for investigation of aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping and obstruction of justice.
Jack Daniel Brown, 26, of Leeds was arrested late Wednesday by Las Vegas police on a $250,000 warrant from pending cases in Washington County. Washington County Attorney Brock Belnap said extradition will be sought.
No information about the juvenile was released.
Belnap declined to discuss the connection between the victim and the suspects.
However, court documents said Stubbs was with Brown at a St. George store when Brown allegedly used a stolen credit card to purchase items on Nov. 14.
Brown failed to appear in 5th District Court on Jan. 6 on charges of theft of an operable vehicle and forgery, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
According to a probable cause statement, Brown also is being prosecuted on felony charges of theft and possession of a controlled substance.
