ASH FLAT, Ark. (AP) - Authorities in Sharp County have arrested a suspect after a man was found shot to death in Ash Flat.

Sheriff Mark Counts says Sharp County dispatch received a call early Saturday about a vehicle accident in Ash Flat. Once there, officers discovered the driver of the vehicle, Severin Simpson, dead from a gunshot wound to the head.

Mountain Home radio station KTLO reports (http://is.gd/XfDoR6 ) that two people witnessed the shooting and identified the alleged gunman.
