All but one of the suspects law officers believe were involved in the drug-related murder of a man found March 30 in north Fayette County in a burned sport utility vehicle are in custody, and the lone holdout has apparently fled the country, according to authorities.

Carl Hodge was arrested May 7 at his home in Clayton County after a search warrant was executed on his home, Maj. Bruce Jordan of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department said last week. Hodge has been charged with felony murder.

Jordan said that Hodge had burns on his body, believed to have been sustained when Adolf Stubbs was killed and his body burned in a Ford Expedition to cover up the crime.

Hodge's arrest came just four days after Carl Hamilton was picked up outside the Fayetteville Police Department when he and some of his associates tried to visit suspects already being held at the Fayette County Jail.

Authorities have learned through their investigation that the Stubbs murder, which took place immediately following the theft of 300 pounds of marijuana, was not a revenge killing by the original owners of the drugs but rather the result of a dispute between the thieves, said Jordan.

The marijuana was originally the property of a New York man, and after it was stolen, an argument ensued when Stubbs suggested taking half of it back with him to New York, Jordan said. Stubbs was a resident of Brooklyn, and Fayette County investigators traveled there as well as to Orlando during their search for answers in the case.
