Wichita Falls woman jailed for motel murder

A Wichita Falls woman has been jailed on murder charges in connection with an incident at a motel in August, according to police.

Heather Marie Boswell was arrested late Monday and booked into the Wichita County jail on $750,000 bail, according to online jail records.

According to allegations in the arrest affidavit, police were dispatched to the Days Inn motel on Maurine Street on Aug. 24 to check on a possible deceased person.

They entered room 212 and found Boswell, who called the police, sitting in a chair at the foot of the bed where the dead man lay.

While officers were investigating, Bosell pulled a knife and several lottery tickets from her purse and began scratching the tickets, the affidavit alleges.

When an officer retrieved the bag, Boswell said he wanted it back when the investigation was over.

Crime technicians searched the bag and found a baggie containing a crystalline substance and two syringes. The crystalline substance tested positive for methamphetamine in the field.

According to Wichita County Jail records, Boswell was arrested on drug charges on Sept. 19 and was released from jail on that charge on Oct. 1.
