women in front of me talking about an escaped convict who had apparently shot and killed a local law enforcement officer and a hospital worker and who was now on the run in my own backyard. “Lock your doors,’ she said with an anxious chuckle as she stepped out the door. I didn’t really pay any mind to the conversation and forgot all it, until this morning.
Morva had escaped from Montgomery Regional Hospital after he was brought in for injuries sustained to his wrist and ankle. He was being held at Montgomery County Jail awaiting trial for an attempted robbery charge stemming from last year.
After a long and exhausting search for Morva, police finally captured him near th Virginia Tech campus where he was apprehended and taken into police custody.
Classes will resume thei; regular schedule tomorrow and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief as all is back to normal in my sleepy little col lege town.
Stay tuned for more from Marlett.
