“For our protection, for my wife's protection, I'm just going to carry a gun,” said Chris Wooton, who walks his dogs through the park everyday.
Acting on tips from law enforcement and the public, one man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Micah Burdette on Tuesday September 9th.
According to a news release issued by the St. Albans Police, an arrest warrant was served on 24-year-old Michael Benbow, of Huntersville, NC, Friday, September 12, with the assistance from the Charleston Police Department and their SWAT team.
According to a criminal complaint issued by the Kanawha County Magistrate Court, police found a phone at the Saint Albans City Park, believed to have been in the possession of Burdette, who according to an autopsy, was shot in the head, and a bullet was recovered from his body.
The phone contained text messages from someone called “Smoov”, which is a name Benbow is known for. The messages indicated that he was planning to meet Burdette on the evening of the murder. When police reviewed mobile phone records of the number that sent the messages to Burdette's phone, they found it was in the area of the Saint Albans City Park around the time of the murder.
