PENNFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- Authorities say a 51-year-old man was bludgeoned to death by another man at a home in southern Michigan's Calhoun County.

The Battle Creek Enquirer reports (http://bcene.ws/xxXSFq ) sheriff's investigators found the body Tuesday afternoon in Pennfield Township.

Authorities say the suspect, who formerly lived at the home with the man, was taken into custody at a friend's apartment following a 30-minute standoff.

No one else was injured in the standoff. Names weren't immediately released. Authorities were working to determine a motive for the slaying.
