PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss. (AP) - A man suspected of murder in Louisiana was arrested Tuesday morning in Mississippi, the Harrison County sheriff says.
Sheriff Melvin Brisolara tells WLOX-TV that his office received a call from the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office seeking help to catch Billie Glend Rawson, Jr.
Brisolara says Louisiana officials believe Rawson committed a crime Tuesday morning and then drove east toward Mississippi. Deputies found a vehicle matching the one described to them at a gas station off Interstate 10 and arrested Rawson without incident.
The 39-year-old is being held without bond in the Harrison County jail pending an extradition hearing
