Officials Rule Licking County Thanksgiving Day Deaths A Murder-Suicide

Licking County Sheriff's deputies have ruled a Thanksgiving day double-shooting as a murder-suicide. 

Deputies say 69-year-old Milton Jarvis and 56-year-old Charles Newman were arguing with each other at Newman's home in the 100 block of Rosemary Lane in Licking Township when Jarvis killed Newman and turned the gun on himself. The argument centered on Jarvis' recent sentence for drug trafficking. Jarvis was charged in July and was sentenced last week to three years' probation. Deputies have not released any other information.
