Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum, members of Dale County Sheriff Criminal Investigation Division, Dale County Coroner John Cawley, 33rd Judicial Circuit District Attorney Kirke Adams, Ozark Police Crime Scene Investigators and ALEA - SBI Agents all responded.

This investigation began as a “who done it” investigation. Since the initial call at 8:20 AM Sunday morning, Sheriff Bynum and the team have worked constantly.

They have made an arrest of James Johnson.

Johnson is in the Dale County Jail, booked for murder and a no bond.

At the time of this writing RSN does not have the motive. Sheriff Bynum will issue details as soon as they can be released.

GREAT JOB to the investigative team on their due diligence and bringing this case into an arrest.
