MOCLIPS, Wash. (AP) — A Grays Harbor sheriff’s officer says a 51-year-old Moclips, Wash., man was found dead Thursday in a ditch in that coastal town. A 23-year-old Aberdeen man has been arrested.

Undersheriff Rick Scott tells KXRO that the man who died, Richard Luce, was involved in an argument Wednesday night. The body showed signs of head trauma and the sheriff’s office is treating the case as a possible homicide.

Working from witness information, deputies arrested the younger man for investigation of felony assault. The sheriff’s office is awaiting autopsy results to learn whether the injuries Luce suffered Wednesday night are related to his death.
