Man Kills Woman After Not Accepting Check For Drugs

Authorities said a Milton man fatally stabbed a woman delivering drugs because she refused to accept a check for $300.

Police said the two began fighting when 23-year-old Christopher Ard asked if he could pay for the crack cocaine with a check Friday night. Reports show the two punched each other and then Ard grabbed a knife and stabbed her.

The woman's identity hasn't been released.

Investigators said Ard was treated for cuts on his neck and wrist before being transported to Santa Rosa County jail.

Ard was charged with murder.
