According to Detective Kim Palmer of the Davie Sheriff’s Department, Bob Minor, 77, of 619 Burton Road, Advance was arrested last Thursday for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury.
On Jan. 14, the day of the incident, Joseph Reed Wilson, 52, of Winston-Salem was having the property of his deceased father-in-law at 123 Zimmerman Road, Advance surveyed. The property is located beside Minor’s property.
Sheriff’s Office Capt. J.D. Hartman reported there had been a dispute earlier in the day between Minor and Wilson about the property and a deputy was called to the home.
Hartman said that later that afternoon “Mr. Minor walked back down there and it appears they both started shooting.”
Palmer reported Minor was shot at least three times with a 9 mm handgun: twice in the shoulder and possibly once or twice in the wrist; Wilson was shot twice with a 25-automatic pistol: in the stomach and back.
Both were taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem for treatment.
Palmer said during the course of the investigation and at the conclusion of witness statements, as well as statements from Minor and Wilson, “It led to the belief that Mr. Minor had initiated the confrontation and assault.”
Palmer said that Wilson had not been charged because it appeared he had been protecting himself.
“We received information that Mr. Minor has had a history of disputes with other individuals,” Palmer said.
Wilson’s wife was inside the Zimmerman Road home when she heard the shots, but came out and drove a SUV between Minor ... subscribe to the Davie County Enterprise Record, P.O. Box 99, Mocksville, N.C. 27028.
