The police arrested a professional tennis referee at a Manhattan hotel on Tuesday on a charge of murder in the death of her husband in April. The referee, Lois Ann Goodman, nicknamed Lolo, was in New York to work the United States Open.

According to the criminal complaint, filed in Superior Court in Los Angeles, Goodman “personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon(s), to wit, COFFEE CUP.”

Goodman appeared in Criminal Court in Manhattan, wearing blue warm-ups, complete with an Open logo, and handcuffs, as she chewed gum and waited to appear before the judge. She was represented by the lawyer Allen Farbman, who asked the judge to speak up because Goodman, 70, is hard of hearing. Farbman told the court he advised Goodman not to waive her right to fight extradition. She chose instead to waive it.

“She wants to as quickly as possible go back to California, confer with her attorney and fight this case,” Farbman said.
