JASPER, Ark. (AP) – An Arkansas man charged in his girlfriend's death says the car he changed the brakes of fell on the woman, but investigators say they couldn't find any evidence the man had worked on the vehicle.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports Johnny Harderson was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in the death of Chasity Bond.
A court affidavit says Harderson told police he worked on a car in his sister's driveway while no one was at the Newton County home.
Harderson told police he went inside after removing a tire, and found Bond face down, with the vehicle on her head, when he returned. He says he took Bond to the home of another sister, who called 911.
Bond's cause of death was ruled as strangulation and blunt force facial injuries.
Online records don't list an attorney for Harderson.
