From the Las Vegas Sun: Police have arrested a man in California on charges that he fatally beat his wife with a vacuum cleaner in North Las Vegas.
Authorities say Anthony Tyron Mayo, 37, was arrested without incident Tuesday in Mojave City, Calif., after a collaborative effort between Southern California and Nevada law enforcement agencies and the FBI.
He faces murder, coercion, and domestic battery charges in the death of 40-year-old Beverly McFarlane.
Police who responded to a North Las Vegas home in the 4300 block of Matinee Avenue on Aug. 10 say McFarlane reported her husband had strangled her before hitting her on the head with a vacuum cleaner two days earlier.
McFarlane was taken to University Medical Center and treated for a brain injury but died two weeks later on Aug. 23.
Mayo is in Los Angeles awaiting extradition.
