Wayne County Murder Suspect Returns to Jail



A Fort Gay man charged with murdering his neighbor is back in jail after violating terms of his home confinement.

Ronnie Gunther, 56, was indicted in March for the shooting death of 55-year-old William Jennings Ward.

The shooting happened November 6, on Yellow Brick Road in the Glenhayes area of Wayne County

State Police say the shooting followed an argument over a dog.

A grand jury indicted Gunther back in March. His trial is set for September.

Prosecutor Tom Plymale says Gunter was arrested Sunday for possession of alcohol, which is a violation of his home confinement.


During a hearing Monday, Plymale says a judge revoked his bond. He is now back in the Western Regional Jail until his trial.
