Prison Inmate Indicted For Murder
The family of Timothy Daft, a man who was found hanged in his cell in August 2005, at the Preston County Jail, is suing the suspected killer, Leonard Wotring, along with fellow inmates and the Preston County Commission. A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed, claming Daft was attacked by Wotring and other inmates and that then-Sheriff Ron Crites knew about the attacks but took no action to protect Daft, while concealing the information from his family. Wotring was, at the time of the alleged attack, charged with sexually abusing a toddler. He is currently an inmate at the Mount Olive Correctional Center, where he has been indicted on a charge of first-degree murder.
