Outlaw^s Car
Discovered
Authorities may abandon
the search for the .38 calibre
pistol used to injure a local
highway trooper and two
Wilmington youths and to kill
another Wilmington teenager.
Sheriff B. P. Lytch stated
this morning that a search
party thoroughly covered the
area near the site where the
i-ed Volkswagen stationwagon
was found Friday afternoon
ljut failed to turn up the
firearm.
Both the vehicle and the gun
had been the object of a
widespread search across
three counties since Gregory
Hudson Jones was ap
prehended Saturday, Oct. 18,
Jones, 26, is charged with
murder, three counts of
assault (including the
patrolman), and charges of
burglary and assault ai an of
ficer, among others.
The red Volkswagen,
thought to be the vehicle
driven by the man who fired
six bullets into Trooper Harry
Stegall on Oct. 17, was found in
a wooded area in the edge of
Richmond county at about
3 t.fO Friday.
Sheriff Lytch said the
vehicle was discovered by
Randy Gibson, route 1,
Hamlet, who was helping with
the search. The sheriff said
the little foreign car had been
concealed' within a pine
thicket and was covered with
Uankets and sleeping bags.
The area is located off Rural
Paved Road 1615 about four
miles east of Hamlet. The
road runs between U.S. 74 and
N.C. 381.
Found inside the
Volkswagen, believed to be a
stolai vehicle, were several
boxes of ammunition, some
clothing and a suitcase. The
impounded vehicle has been
stored at a local garage.
Aithou^ swne reports in
dicate the vehicle was stolen
in Spokane, Wa^. and was
bearing license plates stolen
in DeKalb county, Ga., the
sheriff said he was unable to
say for sure just what the
sources of the vehicle and its
license are. He said the in
vestigation is continuing.
Sheriff Lytch expressed the
opinion that the search for the
missing firearm will probably
be abandoned. He noted that
Scotland, Richmond and
Marlboro counties have
already been searched
thoroughly and an object the
size of a pistol may never be
found. Officers had hoped to
find the pistol either in or near
the vehicle.
In the meantime Jones has
been taken to New Hanover
county, where he is being held
without bond following trial
for murder and the other
counts of assault, burglary,
etc. He will be returned to
Scotland county for trial on
charges of felonious assault
and assault on a law enforce
ment officer.
Jones, whose parents live in
Decatur, Ga., was attending
Cape Fear Technical Institute
as an oceanography student at
the time of the shootings in
Wilmington on Oct. 16.
Trooper Stegall was
dismissed from North
Carolina Memorial Hospital
last week and is recuperating
at the home of his parents in
Charlotte. A full recovery is
expected.
