A suspect in the robbery and murder of a Panama City motel clerk has been arrested in Texas.

30-year-old David Eric Merkel was taken into custody by U.S Marshals in Houston.

He is accused in the beating death of 58-year-old Edward Bennett in October of last year.

Investigators say DNA links Merkel to the crime.
