36-year-old William Anthony Spivey, former Chadburn Police Chief, has been arrested and charged with 70-felony charges. He was arrested after the authorities received a tip.
William Spivey went to Lumber River for a fishing trip. William's family thought he could've committed suicide because his boat was in Lumber River and his car was parked at the boat landing.
