Morphew is currently awaiting trial in Alamosa County in the murder of his wife, Suzanne Morphew. He had been free on a $3 million bond under strict conditions

His custody status comes days after a Denver hit-and-run investigation that was first reported by CBS Colorado and raised new questions about whether Morphew violated the terms of his release. A judge recently tightened those restrictions and ordered him to remain inside his home at all times, with no exceptions. 

In a newly released motion, prosecutors say they reviewed video obtained by CBS Colorado and determined that Morphew is "clearly visible and identifiable as the person who perpetrated the hit-and-run."

A bond hearing in his Alamosa County case is currently scheduled for Sept 8. 

CBS Colorado has reached out to law enforcement for more information about Thursday night's arrest.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
