(AP) — A rural sheriff who had just given a campaign speech at a political rally and fish fry was killed by a sniper, and a suspect then fled on a motorcycle belonging to one of the victim’s election opponents. The motorcyclist was charged in the slaying Sunday. Authorities said they were investigating whether he knew the owner of the vehicle, although they said the latter was not a suspect. “The senseless murder or assassination of our sheriff, who always had a smile on his face and dedication in his heart, is devastating to the communi ty,” said former county attorney Fred Neikirk. Sheriff Sam Catron was killed by a single rifle bullet Saturday evening as he was leaving the rally at Shopville, a small town about 70 miles south of Lexington among Pulaski County’s rolling farm land and wooded hills. State Police Capt. Paul Hays said the shot came from “a con siderable distance.” Police said a rifle was found but would not give details about the weapon. Hays would not comment on a possible motive. Police said a sheriff’s deputy and firefighter caught Danny S. Shelley, 30, of Eubank, about five miles from the rally when he wrecked the motorcycle that belonged to Jeff Morris, one of four people challenging Catron, 48, in the May 28 Republican primary. Hays said Morris, who had been at the rally, had not rep: ed the motorcycle stolen. M: t owr y Mays if Morris and Shelley kw each other.
