BASTROP, La. (AP) — Morehouse Parish sheriff's deputies have arrested a suspect in the death of a Bastrop man.

Sheriff Mike Tubbs tells The News-Star (http://tnsne.ws/QYtahM ) 52-year-old Samuel Dale Turner was booked Saturday with first-degree murder in the death of 79-year-old Billy Wayne McCready.

Tubbs says a neighbor found McCready dead inside his Bastrop home Friday.

Tubbs says investigators believe robbery was the motive for the slaying.

It was unclear whether Turner has an attorney.
