KINGMAN, Ariz. — A 24-year-old Yucca man has been arrested in connection with a stabbing that left a 70-year-old man dead.
Buddy O'Brian Wallace, who was jailed Friday, has confessed his involvement in the death of Charles John McCarty, according to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office. McCarty was also a Yucca resident.
McCarty's body was discovered Oct. 12 in his travel trailer by neighbors conducting a welfare check. Court records indicated Wallace was questioned the next day but was not arrested until three days later.
Wallace did some yard work in February for McCarty, and a witness told investigators that Wallace went inside McCarty's home the evening before the body was discovered, according to court records.
