MAUMELLE, Ark. (AP) — Authorities say a man suspected in the fatal shooting of an Arkansas Department of Corrections sergeant has been captured. The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office says Demark Lee Jordan (pictured), 38, was taken into custody about 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Authorities were searching for him in connection with Monday’s fatal shooting of Sgt. Joshua Caudell, a 29-year-old sergeant who was assisting local law enforcement who were responding to a disturbance call.
Caudell had worked for the Department of Corrections since December 2012.
A court hearing wasn’t immediately set for Jordan, and it wasn’t known Tuesday morning whether he had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.
