POLICE LOOKING FOR SHOOTER - Victim Ambushed In Backwoods |
| (08/19/2003) |
|
Police were searching the backwood areas of northwestern Calhoun early this
morning for Harold Stutler, 66, of Creston. Stutler is a suspect in an ambush-style shooting of Little Creek resident Richard Starcher shortly before 8 p.m. Monday. Authorities said he is driving a blue 2003 Chevy S-10 pick-up, extended cab. He is wearing a flannel type or work shirt with blue jeans. Sheriff Allen Parsons and several deputies were trying to find Stutler on Little Creek, Cunningham Ridge, Connolly Hill, Richardson, Goosenest, Rattlesnake and Joker. He was reportedly spotted near Cremo on Rowels Run. Stutler is a well-known Calhoun hunter, fisherman, trapper and herb digger. He has operated a root buying business for many years. He reportedly shot at Starcher four times from a position in a wooded area known as Ace Haney Hill. Some of the pellets hit Starcher, and he was taken to Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center. He was treated and released. (See earlier story) Stutler, who is Starcher's brother-in-law, has been in a family dispute over property rights on Little Creek for over a year, according to a family spokesperson. Sheriff Parsons said he is hopeful Stutler will surrender himself to the police without any further harm. |
