Kemp, 54, was arrested Oct. 4 after members of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department received a call reporting shots fired at the intersection of Sunnyside Road and Stable Inn Road, just south of the Town of Hillsville on U.S. 52.

INDEPENDENCE — A Grayson County supervisor charged with a hunting violation says the matter has been taken care of.

David M. Sexton of Fries, the at-large member on the Grayson County Board of Supervisors, was charged with a Class 3 misdemeanor in connection with an alleged hunting violation.

The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries charged Sexton with “bait hunting area – causing violation.”

When reached for comment, Sexton said, “It was just a ticket and I already paid it off.”
