WYLIE, Texas -- Police say five teens are charged with murder in the beating death of a Dallas-area man who argued with them about reckless driving in his neighborhood.

Wylie police Detective Venece Perepiczka said the suspects were arrested in Wylie and Garland and remained in custody. She did not immediately return a message Monday from The Associated Press.

Police say 28-year-old Jonathan Bird of Wylie was fatally beaten around midnight Saturday after exchanging words with some youths in a truck.

Four boys are juveniles, age 16. One is an adult, 17-year-old Ethan Dorris of Wylie.

Dorris was in the Collin County Jail on bail of $250,000. A jail officer, who declined to provide his full name, said no attorney was listed for Dorris.

Wylie is 20 miles northeast of Dallas.
