Moore County Sheriff's Office investigators arrested three men Thursday in connection with the murder of an Eagle Springs man in February.
Claudis Antonio Barrett, 29, was found lying in the front yard of his home Feb. 3 by deputies responding to reports of a shooting.
Deputies responded to a 911 call about 7:40 p.m. at 2753 N.C. 211. Barrett had been shot several times. Moore County EMS took Barrett to FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead from gunshot wounds, according to the Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office released few details at the time but offered a reward.
At the time, at least one person had been with the victim at Barrett's house. A conversation in the yard was followed by shots being fired, Chief Deputy Neil Godfrey said at the time. More than one other person may have been at the house. At least one person left on foot, but a car might have been nearby, he said.
During the investigation, evidence led Moore County investigators to arrest Phillip Brian Chisholm, 31, of Robbins. Chisholm was charged with one count of murder, one count of felony robbery with a dangerous weapon and one count of possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana.
Chisholm is being held without bond in the Moore County Detention Center pending a court appearance April 22 in Moore County District Court, according to Sheriff Lane Carter.
After additional investigation, deputies went to the Asheboro area and arrested Robert Anthony Boone. They charged Boone, 28, with one count of murder and one count of felony robbery with a dangerous weapon.
He is currently being held without bond in the detention center pending his first court appearance on April 22, 2010.
Sheriff's investigators also arrested Bruce O'Neal Jarrell, 19, of Asheboro, and charged him with one count of murder and one count of felony robbery with a dangerous weapon.
He was jailed without bond and is also scheduled to appear in District Court on April 22.
Deputies from the Randolph County Sheriff's Office and officers from the Asheboro Police Department assisted with the arrests, Carter said.
The case was handled entirely by law enforcement with no reward having to be paid, according to the Sheriff's Office.
No other details were released.

Maybe instead of a larger dentention center being built in Carthage how about installing an ELECTRIC CHAIR near the Superior Court room so that we can complete the "cycle" of justice ASAP! I'll pitch in to help pay the first months electric bill! Instead of getting 30 years to life sentence how about 220 volts to death sentence!

Bullits or rope are cheaper! I'll pull the trigger or lever

@jqc Shooting a firearm in the city limits of Carthage is illegal so no matter the cost of the bullets this option will not work. Now the rope option would work out just fine...cross the street to the old court house and there are four large oak trees (planted by Ms. Meade S. of Carthage) these majestic oaks along with a short section of rope would render almost instance justice. But this action may get the master garden club members upset if we disturb the grass and other plantings around the old oak trees. Maybe the garden club members could suggest an alternate tree friendly site! By the looks of things it appears that there will be enough levers for everone to pull.

Please print if there is an address that money can be sent for that special chair or for rope. I would be thrilled to contribute! These scum need to be eradicated from society.

The best option would be the hanging ... if we let them hang until they dry in front of the court house all others see whats happen and maybe we get the crime rate down a bit. Fear is one of the best Teacher! It is Time that we as citizen take back our roads we paid for as Taxpayer. Drug dealer and most other Criminals don't pay Taxes!!!

@nbmoore The Victim is a convicted Drug dealer ... more the 50 charges just here in Moore county from drugs to B/E DWLR Tresspass and more ...!

"The Victim is a convicted Drug dealer"
I'm honestly curious to see if that changes anyone's position on the 'hang 'em in the courthouse circle" idea.

@sandhillsk9 what does that have to do with his son. you must be perfect. Its not the child fault what his father did or did not do and no one deserves to die. There is a thing called forgiveness and repentence. He only had 6 charges why lie and has not been in trouble in 3 years. Just like certain people to try and paint an ugly picture. Not all are perfect and some make mistakes but NO one deserves to die and continually be judged after being laid to rest. Why dishonor someone after death.

@DustyR My opinion stays the same...the "catch and release" program our justice system has evolved into is not working to deter crime in the US nor in our community. The only ones who benefit in our present day legal system are....? You guessed it...your chosen profession that of a Lawyer! Why not share some of the spoils with the "legal" gun dealers of Moore County as well as those who teach the law abiding citizens in the subject matter of the requirements for a conceal carry permit. You very seldom hear of anyone getting shot or robbed in the country side near Robbins or in the outlying areas near Lobelia/Hog Island! Ever wonder why this is so? As the "Hank" song states, "A country boy can survive"! And in and around Lobelia/Hog Island several military families make this there home as well as defending their country...they defend their homes and famlies too! Community Watch..should be through the cross hairs of a Bushnel scope well dialed in! And Hank sang, "I'd like to spit some Beechnut in that Dude's eye and shoot -em with my old 45"!

@nbmoore run a background check and you see I'm right! I can print it out for you and send it to you. And yes i feel sorry for the child!

@Dusty I seen the impact of public punishment with my own eyes,(1985 -1990 Egypt) and it worked well. There was public beatings, hands cut off, branding and hanging. In 5 years I never seen someone coming back for refill! Talking to native people, the fear was more of the Public embarrassment than the punishment it self. Children was taken out of school and had to watch this too. I don't say it is a perfect Justice system but it was cheap for the citizen - and Lawyers still made some money.

@sandhillsk9 I already did that. he had 6 convictions and has not been in trouble since 2007. My concern is now for the child. Hopefully he will not make the same choices his father made get a good education and be a role model for the community he lives in. Hopefully he can take this tragic event and turn it around to make it work for him. All have a blessed day!!!!!!

Don't know if you do, but I do.
And yeah, I do own a gun and know how to use it. What's your point?

I guess it's a tribute to the diversity of opinion here at the Pilot...over on one thread we have a guy screaming about how Sharia law is going to be imposed on us all and here we have SandhillsK9 saying hey, Sharia law might not be such a bad thing. :-)
(Just kidding, Frank.)

asu lol You know them robbins and we hog island boys use iron sights !!! as for sharia law as best i recall the christian bible also says an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth so as far as i am concerned moore county is now less one drug dealer and three thugs. when i was a LEO We use to call this a community service killing
ASU88 3 years, 1 month ago
@RECODO A few good old boys have stepped up to Bushnel's these days to reach out and touch someone!
@Godschild2010 I don't care to know about the thugs nor their stories! Do you remember from your readings, "Thy shalt not kill"? You are correct...we should unite to rid our county of the likes of murdering thugs that want to kill others in our society! Thanks for the prayers....! I wonder if you would feel the same way if one of your family members had been gunned down?

I truelly want to thank the moore county detectives.. they worked long hard hours that they could have spent with their family but they stuck to this case and it brought some relief to our family. and im very grateful because the victim was my husband and my children's father and it's very hard on us.. im not worried about the negative comments because i serve a mighty God that is helping us every day to make it through this.. and im praying for the family of them guys because they are suffering right along with my family but they get another chance to see their loved ones and we don't but all we can do is pray for one another because God is the only one that is gonna truelly comfort us through this. thanks for all the prayers and please dont stop praying for us because prayer changes things..
