BLAIRSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Four men have been charged in the death of a man stabbed with a sword in western Pennsylvania 1½ years ago in what authorities allege was a dispute over drug money. Prosecutors in Indiana County on Monday announced the arrests in the September 2014 death of 37-year-old Tyron Howard. Charged with criminal homicide, robbery and conspiracy are 44-year-old Michael Eades Jr. of Tyrone; 32-year-old Kevin King and 36-year-old Stanley Boynton, both of Altoona; and 29-year-old Deandre Jones Jr. of Baltimore. Police said Howard's body was found in October in an apartment in Blairsville, about 45 miles east of Pittsburgh. A sword with a 22-inch blade was recovered. Court documents don't list attorneys for the defendants and listed numbers for them couldn't be found Monday. ___ This story has been corrected to note victim's death now believed to have been in September 2014 rather than October 2014.
