FRIENDSWOOD, TX-- Abilene authorities have arrested their lead suspect in the 2004 murder of 18-year-old Garrett Daniel McMahan.

Kenneth Pounds, 54, was arrested last week in Friendswood, a suburb south of Houston, in connection with the murder according to a report from ABC 13. Pounds is accused of killing McMahan with a box cutter after a fight between Pounds' friend and the teenager broke out.

Pounds was reportedly staying with family members in town. Police tracked pounds and spotted him allegedly buying drugs.

Police discovered crack cocaine and a pipe in Pounds' sock after he was arrested.

Abilene authorities extradited Pounds back to the Taylor County Jail where he is being held on a $100,000 bond.
