STEPHENS COUNTY, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – A suspect is facing multiple Capital Murder charges for allegedly paying someone to kill his step-father.

Jacob Wayne Spencer was booked into the Stephens County Jail Friday for two counts of Capital Murder with Remuneration and Unlawful Installation of Tracking Device in connection to the allegations.

The victim of the alleged murder for hire plot, Jay Marcum, told KTAB and KRBC Spencer is his stepson.

Marcum is unable to comment on exactly what happened right now due to the ongoing investigation, but he does want to thank all of the agencies who assisted in this case, including the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers.

Stephens County Sheriff Kevin Roach confirmed Spencer was taken into custody without incident during a traffic stop.

Spencer now remains held in the Stephens County Jail on bonds totaling $1,275,000.
