Murder indictments set for three in SUV killing

Fayette County grand jury last week handed down

murder indictments of three men in connection

with a drug-related killing last spring.

According

to court records, Paul Hylton, Karl Bryan Hodge

and Glen Simon Hamilton each face two counts of

felony murder plus a third murder count, as well

as two counts of aggravated assault and one count

each of arson and concealing the death of

another.

Hylton

also is charged with three counts of firearm

possession by a convicted felon, while Hodge and

Hamilton each face three charges of firearm

possession during the commission of a crime.

All

of these charges stem from an April 1 incident in

which the body of a man was found in north

Fayette County inside a burning sport utility

vehicle. The victim, believed to be Adolf Stubbs

of Brooklyn, N.Y., had a bullet wound in his

head.

Law

enforcement officials believe that the murder was

the result of an argument between associates over

proceeds from a drug deal. It is likely that the

only Fayette County connection to the case is the

fact that the body was dumped here, investigators

said in May after the suspects were arrested.

Hamilton,

also known as Paul Anderson, was arrested outside

the Fayetteville Police Department after a group

of seven people came from New York in a minivan

in an attempt to secure the release of another

person already in the Fayette County Jail in

connection with this case.

At

the time of that arrest, authorities said that

Hamilton was believed to be the mastermind behind

the entire conspiracy, and was likely at the

scene or even inside the vehicle when Stubbs was

killed.

After

spending a weekend at Hartsfield International

Airport looking for suspects, investigators were

tipped off that the van was in town and initiated

a manhunt that resulted in Hamilton's arrest.

The

investigation took local law enforcement

officials from New York to Orlando in their

search for clues. Another suspect is believed to

have fled to Jamaica.
