Columbus Teen To Be Tried As Adult In 2013 Slaying

A Columbus boy will be tried as an adult for robbing and killing a drug dealer at his mother's apartment  last year. 15-year-old Joseph Reeder says he acted in self defense when he killed 64-year-old Anthony Hines at the apartment on Elaine Place South near Hamilton Road. Reeder is being held on 250 thousand dollars bond. Prosecutors say Hines went to the home to buy drugs from the boyfriend of Reeder’s mother.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
