ATHENS, Ala. — A 34-year-old man has been arrested in a fatal stabbing police say stemmed from unreturned movies.

WAFF-TV reports Kenny Adams is charged with murder in the death of his cousin, Yancy Foster.

Authorities say the two fought in a trailer park over two unreturned movies and Foster was stabbed with a pocket knife Monday afternoon.

Limestone County sheriff's officials say Adams left the scene, returned later and was arrested.

Athens is about 25 miles west of Huntsville.
