Colbert was taken into custody Monday afternoon in Yadkin County after a traffic stop, the Iredell County sheriff confirmed. Investigators said he was in a stolen truck.
Channel 9 talked to a neighbor who said Colbert lives in a house nearby. He said Colbert, for some reason, murdered his next-door neighbor, but deputies have not confirmed that information.
