Arraignment Friday for Suspect in TV Anchor Beating Death

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A suspect is to be arraigned today in the beating death of a TV anchorwoman originally from South Carolina in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Anne Pressly died in October, five days after being severely beaten in what police are calling a random attack at her home. The 26-year-old from Greenville, S.C., never regain consciousness.

Police say Curtis Vance will be charged with capital murder in the case.

The 28-year-old was arrested at a home in Little Rock Wednesday, based on a tip police received soon after they held a news conference announcing Vance as a suspect.

Police haven’t disclosed much about the evidence they have in the case. They have said it includes DNA.
