Susan Wright, convicted of brutally murdering her husband in 2003, arrested for hit-and-run: Records

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A Tomball woman who was convicted of brutally murdering her husband in 2003 has been charged with a new crime in Harris County.

Court records show Susan Wright, who now uses her maiden name Wyche, was arrested for a hit-and-run crash on Thursday morning.

The charging document is sparse on details but indicates Wyche is accused of fleeing from the scene of the accident. The document states she gave her name and address to the person in the other vehicle at some point.

It was also not immediately clear how serious the crash was. Court records state damage to the other vehicle is at least $200.

Wyche made national headlines when she was convicted of tying her naked husband to the bed with neckties and stabbing him almost 200 times with different knives.

She served 16 years in prison and was released on parole in 2020.

On the eve of her release, Wyche's family wrote in a text message: "I think she's paid her debt to society and deserves a second chance."

Online court records show Wyche has posted bond for the hit-and-run and was awaiting release from custody on Thursday night.

She does not have an attorney of record listed for this latest charge.
