AUSTIN (KXAN) - Austin police have charged Ryan Kyle Clarke, 27, with the murder in the death of his girlfriend .
The Williamson County Sheriff's Office found Clarke in a white Chevy Trailblazer at the Southwest Williamson County Regional Park on Saturday morning. Clarke was slumped over the driver's seat of the vehicle. According to the arrest warrant, Clarke was covered in blood and holding a knife.
Clarke was then transported to Seton Hospital in Williamson County. The following day, Clarke told a hospital social worker he had injured someone at an apartment complex on West William Cannon in South Austin. When Austin police arrived at the apartment, they found Clark dead in the bedroom.
According to the arrest warrant, police responded to a family disturbance call at the same location in April 2011. At the time, the couple agreed Clarke had not intentionally tried to hurt Clark.
Clarke has been booked into the Travis County Jail. His bail has been set at $100,000.
