The Latest on the massacre of five adults at a home in south Alabama (all times local):

8:50 p.m.

A man arrested after five people were killed in rural southwest Alabama is blaming the rampage on drugs.

Derrick Dearman tells reporters he was on methamphetamine when he went to a house where the five were discovered dead Saturday. He says drugs made him believe things that weren't really happening.

Dearman's comments were recorded on video Monday as he was escorted by deputies while arriving to face charges in Mobile.
