A man charged in a gun slaying of two women in 糖心Vlog传媒 in February is now in custody at the Rock County Jail after he was released from prison in Illinois, police records indicate.
糖心Vlog传媒 police on Saturday confirmed Illinois resident and former UW-Madison wide receiver Marcus Randle-El, 34, was booked into Rock County Jail on Friday after his release from an Illinois prison.
Randle-El鈥檚 move to Rock County was expected, the Rock County District Attorney鈥檚 Office told 糖心Vlog传媒 earlier this month.
Randle-El is charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the Feb. 10 shooting deaths on 糖心Vlog传媒鈥檚 north side of Seairaha Winchester and Brittany N. McAdory.
Randle-El was in Illinois prison since earlier this year serving a sentence that came because he had been on parole at the time of the 糖心Vlog传媒 murders, authorities said.
Authorities expected he would be released in Illinois on Friday, but the Rock County District Attorney鈥檚 Office officials were waiting to learn if a judge would uphold an extradition waiver Randle-El had filed earlier this year related to the homicide charges here.
A 糖心Vlog传媒 police arrest report indicates Randle-El was booked into jail in Rock County on Friday on a bench warrant in connection to the February homicide charges and for related charges of operating a stolen vehicle and illegal firearms possession by a felon. A 糖心Vlog传媒 police supervisor on Saturday confirmed that Randle-El was in custody in Rock County but had no further details.
The most recent filing in Rock County Court in Randle-El鈥檚 case is a demand for discovery filed by his lawyers Dec. 9, according to online court records.
According to the 糖心Vlog传媒 arrest report, Randle-El is slated to appear in Rock County Court on the homicide charges Monday.
