Malden, MO (KSDK) - The estranged husband of a missing mother of triplets was arrested Friday on unrelated charges, the Malden City Police Department said.
Clay Waller was arrested around 6 p.m. on two outstanding warrants out of Cape Girardeau: misdemeanor harassment and felony stealing by deceit.
According to KFVS-TV in Cape Girardeau, Waller allegedly appropriated a check in the amount of $55,000 from the Delta Companies on or about April 23 with the purpose to deprive them of the money, according to Cape Girardeau police. The money was an advance to be used on a construction project to purchase building materials and made representations which were false and know to be false and the Delta Companies representatives relied on those facts.
In a separate unrelated charge, KFVS-TV reported Waller was charged with harassment. Police said the harassment charge stems from a complaint in that on or around July 27, Waller attempted to frighten a person by saying he was going to kill him and was "coming to get you right now."
Waller is being held in Malden City Jail pending extradition back to Cape Girardeau.
Jacque Waller, a native of Farmington, hasn't been seen since June 1. She was last seen in Jackson, Missouri, which is about 110 miles south of St. Louis. Jacque Waller's family said she was in Jackson finalizing a divorce with her husband on the day she went missing.
Clay has been labeled a person of interest in that case.
Police said his arrest is not connected to his wife's disappearance.
