"SURRY - Authorities have charged a 49-year-old Colonial Heights woman with first-degree murder in the Monday shooting death of her husband, Orbrey Cotton Boothe, a well-known resident and retired veteran of city law enforcement.
Deborah Boothe, 49, was arrested late Monday and charged with murder and a firearms count in connection with the reported slaying of her spouse, said Surry County Sheriff's Deputy R. Lane.
The wife called police at 6 a.m. Monday and stated that her husband had been shot at their Surry residence, a second home where the family vacationed on weekends and where Orbrey Boothe ran a small salvage shop, according to sources familiar with the case.
Police arrived on scene and found the husband, in his late 50s, dead from a single gunshot wound, leading to Mrs. Boothe's arrest. All other information was being withheld yesterday pending an ongoing investigation, said Lane."
