A 55-year-old Muldrow man, Kelly King, was arrested at the end of a police pursuit Monday, that raced from Muldrow to Sallisaw, as a suspect in the suspicious death of a 62-year-old Muldrow man. The suspect was temporarily living with the victim in Muldrow, police reported. The victim's name was not released so that family could be advised of the death.

Two Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers joined the chase about two miles east of Sallisaw, and were able to stop King and the Mazda at the intersection of Highway 64 and Interstate 40. King surrendered without incident, the OHP reported, and was returned to Muldrow. Stay tuned to KXMX or visit www.kxmx.com for the latest news. By Sally Maxwell, Senior News Director
