McALESTER, Okla. (AP) -- A missing Pittsburgh County man was found dead Friday and a McAlester man was arrested on a murder complaint in the case.

Authorities say 52-year-old Chris Klein was found shot to death in a wooded area about eight miles from where he had been camping.

Sheriff Jerome Amaranto says 59-year-old John Wayne Lewis is now in custody.

Amaranto says Klein was camping about 100 yards behind Lewis' house and was apparently shot during an argument with Lewis.
