The man living in an Ashdown, Ark., house, near the scene of a recent murder has been charged with possessing about $7,000 worth of cocaine, authorities say.

Just 24 hours after the warrant was issued, the suspect in the shooting death of an Ashdown, Ark., woman was apprehended, said authorities.

Years before he was an elected official, U. S. Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., was a high school student applying for a job as a disc jockey at the KMLA radio station in Ashdown.
