Pate guilty;
gets four years
A jury found Thomas Ray
Pate, 23, of Birdie road, guilty
yesterday in the attempted
burning of Shellie Furlow’s
home on Jordan Hill road and of
possessing an incendiary. They
set his sentence at a total of four
years in prison and recom
mended misdemeanor punish
ment on both charges.
Judge Andrew Whalen, Jr.
rejected the recommendation
for misdeameanor punishment
as he said Pate has been a race
agitator for years and was
involved in the racial trouble at
the Foodtown Shopping Center
several years ago.
“You’ve been nothing but a
troublemaker in this commun
ity for years and for this reason,
I cannot accept the recom
mendation for misdemeanor
punishment,” Whalen said.
During the trial Sheriff’s
Investigator Richard Cantrell
and Terry Skinner, a former
sheriff’s deputy, testified that
they arrested Pate shortly after
they saw him get out of a car
and throw a fire bomb at the
Furlow residence.
