JEFFERSONVILLE, IN — Authorities say a man was arrested for allegedly killing his wife in an Indiana home with three small children inside.

According to WDRB, Jeffersonville Police responded to a domestic disturbance in Jeffersonville, Indiana, on Friday evening, February 14.

Police say officers didn’t hear any responses when they knocked on the front door. A person on scene who was familiar with the residents shared information that made it an “emergency rescue effort.”

Officers entered the home with force, during which, the garage door opened, and out stepped 34-year-old Taylor Meyer, who was non-compliant and aggressively engaging police.

In a news release, Jeffersonville Police Det. Capt. Samuel Moss stated, “Given the threat he posed, officers utilized control techniques to bring Meyer into custody as quickly as possible.”

Following the confrontation, authorities discovered Meyer’s 36-year-old wife dead inside the residence.

Meyer was charged with murder and taken into custody.

Three children under the ages of five were also found inside the home. Child services representatives responded to the scene to ensure the well-being of the children, police said.

This is an ongoing investigation.
