HARTSVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say a man wanted for killing a 74-year-old man in his South Carolina home on Christmas Eve has been arrested during a home invasion at another house.

Darlington County Sheriff’s Lt. Robby Kilgo said 48-year-old Curtis Nelson was taken into custody by deputies called to a home in Hartsville on Friday night.
