Mingo County Murder Charge Reduced
WEST VIRGINIA....
Tommy Vance appeared at his trial in a Mingo County courtroom Wednesday morning where he accepted a plea deal in which his charge went from murder to a reduced charge of reckless DUI causing death. Vance was charged with the murder of Jason Lee, from North Carolina, who had traveled as a stripper to southern Mingo County as part of a promotion which was supposed to be a fun show at Club 2000. An argument between Lee and Vance which began inside the club continued outside in the parking lot where witnesses say Vance ran Lee down with his pickup truck and dragged him 30 feet. Vance faces two to 10 years in prison and a $1,000 to $3,000 fine when sentenced October 18th.
