LUMBERTON — A Lumberton man is scheduled for his first court appearance today, in connection with a charge of first-degree murder.
Timothy Smith, 31, was arrested over the weekend. He faces first-degree murder and burglary charges in the stabbing death of 72-year-old Ethel Mae Todd.
Her body was discovered a week ago, dumped alongside a road a few miles from her Lumberton home.
Authorities say her home had also been burglarized.
