Long a suspect in father-of-four Jared Bridegan’s brutal Jacksonville Beach slaying, Shanna Gardner-Fernandez was collared after a grand jury handed down a first-degree murder indictment Thursday morning.
Bridegan, 33, was killed last year after dropping off two of his children he shared with Gardner-Fernandez at her home in the upscale suburb.
The pair were in the midst of an increasingly bitter custody fight at the time.
Bridegan — who remarried and had two small children with his new wife — was traveling home with his daughter Bexley when he came upon a tire in the middle of the road and stopped his SUV.
