Porter, named a person of interest, was arrested on Tuesday at the rental home of his father and booked into the Waldo County Jail.

The report released Wednesday also states that Porter filed a complaint on January 8, last month, suspecting Perdomo of throwing rocks through the window of his residence in Newbugh. Both suspects alleged threats by the other.
