Gahanna Murder Suspect Arrested In California

Gahanna Police

The man charged with murdering his mother in Gahanna has been arrested in Garden Grove, California. 

Police there say 27-year-old Jeffrey Perry was arrested Friday afternoon allegedly while robbing a local restaurant. Gahanna police say Perry stabbed and killed 53-year-old Linda Perry at her home on Chadwood Drive on December  23. Extradition is pending. Local authorities have declined to release a possible motive, but say the two were estranged until Jeffery Perry moved from California to live with his mother last November. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
