ICSO Chief Deputy Charlie Melton says McCurley had been hunting and had a rifle with him. Warner learned McCurley did not have a hunting licenses, and he was a convicted felon, who could not possess a firearm.
McCurley was out on bond from Izard County Circuit Court for previous felony charges and a condition of his bond was that he was prohibited from possessing any weapons. Melton says McCurley’s previous bond has been revoked, and he is on a no-bond hold at the Izard County Detention Center. Melton adds McCurley is scheduled to appear in Izard County Circuit Court on Dec. 23.
