Virginia murder suspect caught in Toccoa

By Associated Press

MONETA, Va. (AP) Police say the former son-in-law of a man found shot to death in Virginia has been charged with first-degree murder.

The Roanoke Times reports 66-year-old Brian Edward Foy was found dead in a house near Smith Mountain Lake in Moneta Saturday morning. The investigation led to 31-year-old Daniel Percy Arnot of Eastanollee, Foy's former son-in-law, whom authorities found in Toccoa, Georgia. Arnot is awaiting an extradition hearing in Georgia.

Two other suspects, whom sheriff's investigators describe as possible accomplices, also have been charged in connection with Foy's death and are awaiting extradition hearings in Georgia. Michael Anthony Edwards and Carrie Eujenna Ramey, both 25, have been charged with breaking and entering and grand larceny. A Roanoke television station says Edwards and Ramey are from Georgia.

Stephens County authorities said Arnot, Edwards and Ramey were arrested Sunday afternoon at Host Inn in Toccoa. 

An investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
