A former Mexia woman has been charged with murder in the 2011 death of her ex-husband.

Mary Elizabeth Jacoby, 59, was arrested Friday in the South Texas town of George West and remained in Limestone County Jail on Saturday.

Authorities issued a warrant for Jacoby after an indictment Wednesday by a Limestone County grand jury, according to a press release from the Mexia Police Department.

Her bond was set at $250,000.

Limestone County Sheriff Dennis Wilson said law enforcement officials, including the Texas Rangers, had been working on the case for five years.

Raymond Keith Jacoby was found with a gunshot wound to his chest early on the morning of March 31, 2011, at the front gate of the Mexia Recycling Plant, which he owned and operated. He was pronounced dead at Parkview Regional Hospital in Mexia. He was 56.

Mexia Police Detective Richard Hundley and Texas Ranger Patrick Pena arrested Mary Jacoby at 8:43 a.m. Friday at the Live Oak County sheriff’s office in George West, according to Mexia police. Her current address and the circumstances of the arrest were not reported.
