FORREST CITY, Ark. (WMC) – The St. Francis County Sheriff’s Department has announced a second arrest in the Troy Alexander Strope murder case.
Corey Jerome Anderson, 41, of Madison, Arkansas, has been arrested and charged with abuse of a corpse, a Class C felony.
Micah Lacy, 45, was arrested in Forrest City just four days prior and charged with first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse and possession of a firearm.
The 42-year-old woman’s body was found on the side of County Road 731 near Hwy 334 in St. Francis County, Arkansas, in February.
The sheriff’s department says a group of teens found Strope’s body inside of a tote box.
Anderson was reportedly in St. Francis Circuit Court on Monday for an unrelated matter when he was arrested. It’s unclear at this time what led investigators to him.
St. Francis Circuit Court Judge Christopher Morledge arraigned Anderson and his bond was set at $50,000.
