LOCK HAVEN, PENNSLYVANIA - A former Lock Haven University football player was arrested in Georgia on murder and kidnapping charges in a 1999 beating death that was profiled on the television show ``America&#39;s Most Wanted.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Fabian Desmond Smart, 24, of Clyo, Ga., was arrested Monday at the lawn-care company where he worked in Rincon, Ga.
