UPDATE: Dorchester Co. woman indicted on murder charges

A Dorchester County woman has been arrested and formally charged for the April murder of her husband, Eugene Tolley, Jr.

According to the State’s Attorney for Dorchester County, 57-year-old Nancy Tolley was indicted Friday on charges of First Degree Murder, Second Degree Murder and related offenses.

The Office of the State’s Attorney for Dorchester County presented the case to the Grand Jury. 

The charges against Mrs. Tolley follow a lengthy investigation by the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit into the alleged April shooting death of Mr. Tolley at his home in the 5700 block of Galestown Reliance Road in Rhodesdale.

On April 5, Maryland state police say they responded to a 911 call and found Mr. Tolley dead in the driveway. Preliminary investigations revealed Mrs. Tolley may have retrieved the gun from her home following a domestic dispute.

Tolley was arrested in Delaware Friday and is currently held there pending extradition proceedings.
