Authorities arrested 18-year-old Joshua Griffin of Lake Village for capital murder in the Saturday shooting death of 34-year-old Marcus Brown.
Griffin is the son of Circuit Clerk Josephine Griffin. Deen says in a court motion that he and his deputies work regularly with Josephine Griffin - creating a conflict of interest in the case. Police say Joshua Griffin shot Brown in the chest as Brown sat in the back seat of a car Griffin was driving.
Griffin is in the Chicot County jail without bail. Josephine Griffin did not return phone calls seeking comment.
