Possible Break in Marley Lion Investigation
Police address Monday arrests at noon press conference.
Charleston Police plan a noon press conference today to discuss three arrests made Monday in the Ardmore section of West Ashley.
That's the same part of town where 17-year-old Marley Lion was shot and killed in June after parking his car in a Savannah Highway parking lot. But police are not yet confirming Monday's search and arrests are part of the Lion investigation.
Charleston Police officers went door-to-door in Ardmore neighborhood late Monday afternoon, and they confirmed there were arrests, but there was no confirmation that the arrests were connected to the Lion case.
