SIDNEY, Ohio - A Sidney woman pleaded not guilty Friday to charges in the death of an 80-year-old man.

Paul Wilt was found murdered in his Independence Court apartment Tuesday, May 13th. Police say 36-year-old Gloria Jelks entered his home and killed him by striking him in the head with a blunt object. Officers say she took a large quantity of cash before leaving. Jelks and Wilt were acquaintances.

Jelks was arrested Wednesday on drug possession charges and was being held at the Shelby County Jail when investigators say they linked her to Wilt's murder.   Jelks is charged with aggravated murder.
