A Greeneville man, Jeffery Ray Jennings, who has been charged with two South Carolina murders and is being held in the Washington County Detention Center, has agreed to be extradicted to South Carolina.

His wife, Brenna Jennings, also of Greeneville, who is being charged as an accessory in one of the murders, also is not fighting extradition to South Carolina according to Washington County authorities who this morning said the two suspects had signed extradition papers.

Jeffery Ray Jennings is charged with the July 23 murder of a man in Taylors, S.C., near Columbia.

Brenna Jennings is charged as an accessory in that murder, according to Washington County authorities.

They said Jeffery Ray Jennings also is charged with a July 25 murder in Atlantic Beach, S.C.

Johnson City police arrested Brenna Jennings about 11 a.m. Saturday at an apartment on Austin Springs Road in Johnson City.

Jeffery Ray Jennings' vehicle was observed at Mr. Toad's, an electronics store at 21 N. Roan St., a short time later and he was arrested in the store's lobby.

Since the first murder, law-enforcement officers in South Carolina and locally had been looking for the Jennings.

Jeffrey Ray Jennings, whose last known local address was Old Stage Road, Greeneville, also is a suspect in a series of Greene County burglaries this spring in which doors of residences had been "kicked open" to gain entry.
