BELLEFONTE, Pa. - A former Penn State football player was arrested Tuesday in the killing of a student who was stabbed 93 times, after tests showed the ex-player's DNA was inside a bloody glove found at the murder scene.

Lavon Chisley, 23, of Waldorf, Md., was taken into custody on Tuesday morning after voluntarily arriving at the county courthouse for a hearing in the case. He was charged with first- and third-degree murder in the death of Langston Carraway.

Chisley, a defensive lineman, was booted off the school's football team before the 2005 season because of poor grades.

Carraway, 26, was a senior in labor and industrial relations. His body was discovered inside his State College apartment on June 5. Investigators believe he was killed the evening of June 3 or the morning of June 4.

Police found a bloody, black rubber glove near Carraway's body, and DNA tests showed the blood came from two people - the victim and Chisley, according to a police affidavit. The only blood found inside the glove was Chisley's, the affidavit said.

A bloody footprint found at the scene matches Chisley's shoe size and one of his shoes was found at the scene, investigators said.

Chisley called a friend, Kerry Onaka, at 6 a.m. on June 4 and told her they needed to leave immediately, two hours ahead of schedule, for a previously planned trip to Baltimore, police said. Chisley arrived at the woman's apartment wearing different clothes and shoes than he had on the night before, and was agitated throughout the trip, Onaka allegedly told police.

He also called Onaka on June 26 and asked her to provide him with an alibi for the overnight period covering June 3-4, the affidavit said.

The court hearing Tuesday morning involved a search warrant in the case.

"His attorney was contesting a police matter ... related to a pending search warrant," Patton Township Police Chief John Petrick said Tuesday morning, declining to elaborate. "She had arranged for him to come in today."

Chisley's attorney, Karen Muir, didn't immediately return messages left Tuesday morning.

Chisley started nine games for Penn State in 2003. He was mainly a reserve in 2004, recording 14 tackles and one sack.

Authorities had said they were waiting on the results of DNA and other tests before making an arrest.

Just one minor request to the prosecution: Don't have the defendant try on the glove. Thank you.
