BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — The Hernando County Sheriff's Office arrested a 23-year-old man considered a suspect in the killing of another person Thursday night in Brooksville.
Previously, Jeremy Patterson was listed as a person of interest connected to the active homicide investigation.
After hours of searching for him, deputies posted to Facebook they arrested him in a wooded area near the High Point community, off of Cortez Boulevard.
The 23-year-old, who was considered "armed and dangerous," was taken into custody without incident.
Deputies did not release many details about the homicide investigation but said it happened around 10:16 p.m. Thursday at the entrance to the High Point Community in Brooksville.
