A Hewitt woman accused of slitting the wrists of her husband and then her own who was arrested after police found the man dead in the couple’s apartment was indicted for murder Wednesday.

Shawn DeLynn Olson, 37, remains in the McLennan County Jail where she’s held in lieu of $650,000 bond.

Her husband, James D. Olson, Jr., 38, was scheduled to appear for a bond hearing at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 18, 2019 in 19th State District Court, but failed to show up.

Deputies tracked Olson through a court-ordered ankle monitor he was wearing to an apartment in the 1800 block of Majestic Drive in Hewitt where they found a note on a rear door that said to contact police.

They forced entry and found Olson dead and his 37-year-old wife, Shawn, injured, Hewitt police Chief Jim Devlin said.

Shawn Olson was taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Waco for treatment of her injuries, but on Nov. 22, 2019 she was arrested in Temple on a murder warrant.

She told investigators “that she used a straight razor and had cut the wrist area of (her husband) twice, causing the injury to his wrist,” an arrest warrant affidavit says.

“She cut him twice,” she told investigators, “due to the fat she missed the ‘artery’ in his wrist,” the affidavit says.
