SC police: Black man shot to death, body dragged

NEWBERRY, S.C. (AP) - State police say a white man has been arrested in the shooting death of a black man whose body was then dragged several miles down a road in central South Carolina.

State Law Enforcement Division director Reggie Lloyd says the killing in Newberry County is being investigated as a possible hate crime and the FBI is assisting in the investigation of the death of 30-year-old Anthony Hill, whose body was found Wednesday morning. Lloyd said investigators don't have a motive.

Newberry County sheriff's deputies say they followed a trail of blood to the mobile home of Gregory Collins. Collins refused to come out and officers used tear gas to force him out.

Lloyd says Collins has been charged with murder.

It's unclear if he has an attorney.
