SPRING LAKE, N.C. (AP) - Authorities say a man has died after being found stabbed in the front yard of a mobile home in North Carolina.

Spring Lake Police told media outlets that paramedics briefly revived 39-year-old Derrick Ervin after he was found unconscious around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, but he died a few hours later at the hospital.

Authorities say 30-year-old Jacolby Floyd was arrested shortly after the stabbing and was charged with murder. Detectives did not give a reason for the stabbing.
