Big Sandy, Tenn.–A suspect has been arrested and charged with second degree murder in the homicide of a man in Big Sandy.
Jack Anthony Herron, age 34, of Henry County, is being held in the Benton Co. Jail on $500,000 bond.
Benton Co. Sheriff Kenny Christopher said Herron was arrested for the death of Garren D. Crafton, age 36, also of Henry County.
