WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Police have charged a North Carolina man in connection with the death of a man whose body was found in a trash bin.

The Winston-Salem Journal reports police in Winston-Salem said 27-year-old Quincy Devorice Valentine is charged with concealment of a death. Valentine is in jail under a $250,000 bail. He’s scheduled to appear in court on Monday, and it’s not known if he has an attorney.
