Daniels was found dead in her apartment June 28. According to police, physical evidence obtained during the course of the investigation connected Odom - a neighbor in the Windsor Apartment complex - to Daniels' death.

Odom was arrested Saturday in Winston-Salem. He smirked as he was led out of the Newton police department, but declined to speak to gathered reporters.

Before her death, Daniels served as a counselor at Discovery High School in Newton, a 13,000-population town located northwest of Charlotte.
