Billy Jack Haynes has officially been charged with murder in the death of his wife.
As we previously reported here on eWn, the WWE alumnus and Portland Wrestling icon was arrested on February 8th in Portland, OR after police responded to reports of a shooting. Once they entered the home after getting Haynes to come out several hours later, they found the body of Janette Becraft.
Haynes has now been charged with Murder in the Second Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon. The charges were filed on Wednesday following Haynes’ release from the hospital. Haynes was hospitalized following his arrest due to a “a medical condition unrelated to the homicide or his contact with law enforcement.”
Haynes is currently being held at the Multnomah County Detention Center.
