LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Police have made an arrest in the death of a man whose body was found at a West Texas law office by officers checking a report of an after-hours disturbance.
In a statement, Lubbock police say 27-year-old Jestin Wayne Hooker was arrested on a murder charge after he was detained for questioning.
Jail records show Hooker, who was described in the release as a roommate of the victim, doesn’t yet have an attorney.

Police Sgt. Jason Lewis says arriving officers found the body inside the building, but further details weren’t available.
