Man faces charge in Danville killing

A 42-year-old man was arrested Wednesday in the killing of a man in Danville.

Carlos Lopez Pacheco faces a preliminary charge of first-degree murder, Yell County sheriff's Lt. Scott Moore said.

Law enforcement responded about 5:20 p.m. Tuesday to Arkansas 10 after reports of a man lying in the road. Officers with Danville police and the sheriff's office found a man unresponsive and suffering from cuts in the throat and several stab wounds, Moore said.

Authorities identified Pacheco as a suspect and asked the public to assist in locating him.

He was found and taken into custody at an abandoned residence on Park Avenue in Danville, according to a Facebook post from the sheriff's office, after a tip.

Authorities declined to release the identity of the victim, but Moore said he was acquainted with Pacheco.
