Police: Suspect shot man for $200

April 12, 2012|By Fred Petke | The Winchester Sun

A man accused of shooting and robbing a person of $200 remained in jail after his case was sent to the grand jury, and the woman who testified on his behalf went to jail as well.

William Fulz, 34, of 15 Sterling St. Apt. 15, was arrested without incident on Feb. 26, hours after the alleged incident near 88 Tyler Banks Court.

Winchester Police Capt. James Hall said he was called to Clark Regional Medical Center a couple hours after Earl McVey Jr. was shot once in the knee. McVey told police that Fulz called him earlier in the evening of Feb. 26 and asked to meet him at 88 Tyler Banks, Hall said. When he arrived, he said Fulz pulled a gun, held it to McVey’s head and demanded all his money. McVey refused after telling Fulz he only had $200, Hall said. McVey told police that Fulz shot him in the knee.

Fulz them pointed the gun between McVey’s eyes and demanded money. This time, McVey complied and Fulz fled on foot. McVey told police that a friend took him home around 10 p.m., and took him to the hospital about two hours later, when the police were called.

Two other eyewitnesses identified Fulz as the shooter, Hall said.

Following the interviews, Hall said officers found Fulz at 88 Tyler Banks and arrested him without incident. He did not make a statement to police following his arrest, he said.

Tammy Moore, who lives at 85 Tyler Banks, was called to testify on Fulz’s behalf. She said she was seeing Fulz and was with him on the day of the shooting. She said he left around 9 p.m. and returned an hour later. Moore, though, said he acted the same after he returned and did not mention having moroe money or anything. Fulz didn’t say where he went, she said, and she could not say that he didn’t commit any crimes.

After being excused as a witness, Moore was arrested on a warrant and taken to jail for failure to appear.
Following the hearing, Clark District Judge Earl-Ray Neal found enough probable cause to send the case to the grand jury. He left Fulz’s $100,000 cash bond intact.
