Third Murder Suspect Caught — While Hitting Golf Balls

Benson Kyle Lloyd, 28, is one of three people who have been charged in the shooting death of a Woodstock man.

Being on the run for allegedly killing a Woodstock man didn't stop one of three suspects from enjoying himself with a leisurely activity.

Investigators with the Cherokee Sheriff's Office nabbed Benson Kyle Lloyd, 28, of Jasper, Wednesday afternoon while he was hitting golf balls in the PGA Tour Superstore on George Busbee Parkway in Kennesaw. 

Cherokee investigators were able to bring Lloyd into custody with the help of the Cobb County Police Department.
