During Catawba County Superior Court Monday, 57-year-old
Jeffrey Blain Bumgarner was sentenced 44 to 65 months following his conviction
for felony death by vehicle, driving while impaired, and felony hit and run
death.
Reports state Bumgarner pleaded guilty to the offenses that
claimed the life of 58-year-old Charles Shook Junior on February 10th

He first indicated that he had been the victim of a hit and
run, but later told investigators that he caused the fatal crash.
Also in Catawba County Superior Court Monday, a Newton man is sentenced
to a term in prison following his conviction for multiple sexual offenses

37-year-old Randy Eugene Dula will be imprisoned 12 to 19
years after pleading guilty to attempted first-degree sexual offense, attempted
first-degree rape and two counts of indecent liberties with a child.
A release indicates the offenses occurred between March 1st
and July 31st 2014 when the then-6-year-old female victim revealed
to a family member what had happened to her on multiple occasions.

years upon his prison release.
