Jackson County Police arrested 56-year-old Darrell Edward Stanton at 12:20 a.m. Thursday morning. He was taken to the Jackson County Jail in Brownstown and is being held without bond.

Sheriff Michael Carothers says Stanton shot and killed 35-year-old Dustin L. Robbins. Robbins died of a shotgun wound to the abdomen.

According to a news release, the incident began when Stanton arrived at his girlfriend's mobile home at 8049 East County Road 400 South and found Robbins and his wife there.
