Jail records show Herrington was booked into the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas on Friday.
After the stabbing, Herrington allegedly drove to Texas in King’s car.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that King’s friends gave officers photos from Herrington’s Snapchat, where he had reportedly posted multiple times wearing King’s unique jewelry and driving King’s car.
