CABOT, Ark. (AP) - Authorities say a man charged in a double homicide in
Cabot was released from jail two days before the killings because of an
apparent paperwork mishap.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that James Michael Davis had been
jailed after a felony theft arrest but was released Dec. 21 because formal
charges weren't filed within 60 days. Prosecutor Larry Jegley tells the
newspaper his office never received an investigative file from police.
On Dec. 23, 56-year-old David Linnon Smith and 45-year-old Tracey Mills were
stabbed to death. Davis was arrested in the woods about 50 yards from the
home.
