Police said Gallegos hit a Denny’s, two motels, and a Blake’s Lotaburger where he’s accused of firing a shot near a clerk.

Back in 2008, Hefty was charged with killing her boyfriend and eventually pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter.

Both Hefty and Gallegos are now in the Metropolitan Detention Center. Prosecutors have filed for pre-trial detention against the pair.
