Everett Constant, 29, was taken to the hospital and later that day police said he assaulted hospital staff. After he was medically cleared he was arrested and held overnight.

Police found 51-year-old Beverly Constant dead at the scene and arrested Everett and charged him with second-degree murder.

Everett made his first appearance in court Monday.
