ST. GEORGE, Utah — Officials with the St. George Police Department say a man is in custody after a woman was found dead at a St. George residence.

Officers say a man came to the police department and reported a possibly deceased woman around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Police responded to the residence and found the woman deceased, and the man was taken into custody.
