FL Man Arrested After Texting Officer, Not Wife, About Girlfriend's Murder

Talk about a texting oops.....

A Florida man was arrested on a murder charge after meaning to text his wife about the death of his live-in girlfriend, but nervously messaging a detective instead.

Marion County Sheriff's officials arrested 52-year-old David W. Romig on Tuesday.

On Jan. 30, investigators said Romig staged a crime scene to make it look like an intruder entered his Dunnellon home and killed 64-year-old Sally Kaufmann-Ruff.

Detectives found evidence that didn't match Romig's story about the home invasion. And to solidify their suspicions, Romig allegedly sent two text messages to detectives saying he thought he was going to be arrested. 

Romig is being held without bond.
