Attorney to present findings on fatal golf club break in
Muscatine county attorney David Newell said he hopes to present the investigation into the fatal shooting of Charles Vernon Thomas by merchant policeman Paul Haley to a grand jury within one or two weeks. Thomas, 38, of Columbia Pennsylvania, was killed Friday after allegedly breaking into the Geneva Golf and Country Club. Haley fired two warning shots and a third when Thomas lunged. Newell stressed the grand jury call does not imply Haley wrongdoing. Columbia records show Thomas had a long felony arrest history, with the last arrest in 1966.
