Indictment in Booth 7-11 robbery closes long probe
A Galax Virginia man faces charges for the November 3 1980 armed robbery of a 7-11 on Bluefield Avenue in which clerk Daryl Booth was shot. After a year and a half of police work led by Lt Jim Dent and Det Curtis Honaker a photo lineup and personal lineup helped Booth identify Adkins as the shooter. Police say over 1500 hours and about 2000 miles were logged in the investigation, and the case was the result of a coordinated multi agency effort.
