ARLINGTON, Texas, March 5 (UPI) -- Police in Arlington, Texas, Saturday arrested a 24-year-old man in the slaying of NorthPointe Baptist Church Pastor Clint Dobson, officials said.
Steven Lawayne Nelson was arrested at the Arlington apartment he shares with his mother and charged with capital murder, The Dallas Morning News reported.
Police also found the car that belonged to Dobson's assistant, Judy Elliott, who was injured in the Thursday attack. She was recovering in stable condition at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth.
Dobson, 28, was found dead Thursday afternoon inside the church in the 2000 block of Brown Boulevard. Police have not said how he was killed.
