Three arrests tied to 1975 theft and train fatality in Virginia
In Madison Heights a Lynchburg youth, Peter Nelson, 18, was killed when struck by a Southern Railway train on a trestle as three companions fled the scene. The group faces trespassing charges. In Danville, Sgt. James Owen and ex-officer Julian Bell were arrested in North Carolina on burglary and grand larceny charges related to a 1975 Floyd Allen home theft, with bonds set at 50,000 each. In Wachapreague, Va., the Inn owner says reopening will wait until next year after a weekend fire damaged the historic hotel, though the shell remains salvageable.
