A Willard man arrested after a lengthy pursuit in Idaho was charged Wednesday with murder in the death of a man found beaten in his garage earlier that day.

A preliminary investigation indicates 27-year-old Cody Henderson, of Ohio, who was found in Chay Blair’s garage near 400 South Main in Willard, died from blunt force trauma, Willard Police Chief Jean Loveland said in a statement.

“They pulled up behind him and turned on the lights, and he decided he didn’t want to talk at the moment, and he put it in gear and drove straight into town,” Ostler said.
