A Queens man whose wife was found dead last week is now in police custody.

Sources tell NY1 Jordan Hawes, 32, was picked up by police in Connecticut for driving a stolen car.

Sources say he is being held in a psychiatric ward in a Connecticut hospital and has not yet been charged with any crime.

His wife, Tara Hawes, 33, was found dead in the couple's Astoria apartment Thursday night.

Investigators say she died of blunt force trauma to the head.
