(AP) MCNEIL, Ark. -- Authorities investigating the stabbing death of an 83-year-old small-town mayor have arrested his granddaughter and her boyfriend on murder charges, officials said Wednesday.

Nena Bolton, 50, and her boyfriend, Shaunte Smith, 27, were arrested Tuesday night in the death of Mayor Ralph Ward, the Columbia County Sheriff’s office said.

Bolton was recently released from prison after serving a six-year sentence for killing her estranged husband, Larry Bolton, a former county deputy sheriff and city water works manager.

Ward was found stabbed to death in his livingroom recliner on June 15. He had been mayor of McNeil, a southwest Arkansas town of about 650 residents, for 38 years.

After her grandfather’s death, Bolton spoke to The Banner-News of Magnolia about Ward, saying: “It was hard for him to say no to anybody. He was trusting and kindhearted.”

This woman only got six years for killing a former law enforcement official? And she's dating a 27 year-old?

This makes no sense -- He was 83 and had a 50 y.o. granddaughter???? I consider myself a young grandmother, and there are 44 years between my oldest grandchild and myself.

He either tried to help them or said he wouldn't. Either way, druggies get pissed and go nuts.

“It was hard for him to say no to anybody.

I bet he's finding it a lot harder to say no to people now.

I'm a young grandma too...only 40 years difference. I just hope my grandson doesn't want to kill me when I'm as old as this man!
