Jordan was arrested shortly after he left the residence and the arrest report says he made “numerous utterances apologizing for hurting his wife” after he was taken into custody, according to WAVE.

Officials with Fort Knox confirmed with WAVE that Jordan is a staff sergeant stationed at the post and is assigned to the First Army Division East. Ashley was a soldier with the U.S. Army Human Resources Command and was also stationed at Fort Knox.

Jordan was charged with one count of murder-domestic violence, which is punishable by 20 to 50 years or life in prison, if convicted.

He was booked into the Hardin County Detention Center and is being held on a $1 million cash bond, officials said. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on June 30.
