Man Arrested , Charged In Lexington Doctor's Death

By Associated Press

Lexington, KY – A man picked up in Ohio and charged with harassing a Lexington dermatologist has now been charged with murder in her slaying last week.

Lexington police say 65-year-old Marty Lee Roe was also charged Thursday with tampering with physical evidence.

Roe was arrested Wednesday night in Logan County, Ohio, at a bar near a motel where he had been staying, a law enforcement official there told the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Lexington police have said 55-year-old Martha Post was shot multiple times outside her office Sept. 1.

Post had complained to police at least twice since June 2010 that Roe was making alarming phone calls to her, according to police documents the newspaper obtained.
