David Wayne Gore, 57, was arrested and charged with murder after shooting Allen W. Blanchard, 34, at an abandoned lumber mill Dec. 25, according to the Star News.
Gore was trying to track the thief who stole a $200,000 boat from his business Dec. 18. Gore believed the thief took the boat to the mill because it had large enough buildings to hide it.
According to Chief Deputy Larry Guyton with the Bladen County Sheriff's Office, David Wayne Gore will be served Wednesday with the new charges and a new bond will be set. #ilm https://t.co/H2l0JFVjQn
