HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Authorities say a man accused of killing his girlfriend at a Georgia hotel has been arrested in northern Alabama.
Henry County police spokesman Capt. Joey Smith tells local news media Saturday that 44-year-old Tory Leroy Jones was apprehended by U.S. Marshalls in Huntsville, Alabama. Jones is charged with murder in the death of 40-year-old Elimisha Maryetta Gates.
Gates body was found at the Express Inn & Suites in Stockbridge, Georgia, on Aug. 23.
The cause of Gates' death and details of Jones' arrest have not been released.
Earlier this week, the Henry County Police in Georgia issued a "Be On The Lookout" for Jones calling him "armed and dangerous."
Jones is being held at the Madison County Jail in Alabama with no bond. It's unclear if he has an attorney.
