MAYFLOWER, Ark. (AP) — Authorities are investigating after a property owner discovered a man’s body near Interstate 40 in central Arkansas.
The man’s body was discovered Thursday afternoon by a property owner who was walking along a fence line near Mayflower, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Little Rock, according to Arkansas State Police.
The man was identified by authorities as 41-year-old Mark Anthony Teas, from Ozark. His cause of death was still being determined.
The body was found near the same area where a man fled a traffic stop late Wednesday, state police said. Mayflower officers had pulled over a truck, later determined to have been stolen in Ozark, when the driver ran off, according to state police.
Investigators say they believe Teas might have been the driver of the truck.
