SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – The man arrested in the kidnapping of a Cheney marijuana store employee gave a jailhouse confession to a Spokane television station.

Donovan Culps told KHQ he shot Cameron Smith several times after Smith declined to sell him pot because he didn’t have identification.

Culps said he was having a bad day and that Smith “got the ugly side of it.”

Police said Culps kidnapped Smith from the parking lot of the marijuana store a little over a week ago, as Smith was eating his lunch.

Culps told KHQ he dumped Smith’s body and abandoned the car.

Police arrested Culps in Goldendale on Thursday.
