GREENWOOD, S.C. (WCAX) – A suspect in a Pownal murder has been caught in South Carolina.
Vermont State Police say Elizah Coppedge, 18, of Chicopee, Massachusetts, was arrested in Greenwood, South Carolina, on May 19. He’s wanted on second-degree murder charges for allegedly stabbing Casey Gras, 36, of Bennington on February 6th in Pownal over what police say was a drug dispute.
Police last month named Coppedge as the suspect.
He has been behind bars in South Carolina since his arrest last week and will be extradited to Vermont.
