BLUEFIELD — A Mercer County magistrate found “probable cause” to have the first degree murder charges against a Kegley-Spanishburg area man bound over to the next term of the grand jury.
Bruce Lee Milam, 33, appeared for his preliminary hearing Wednesday afternoon before Magistrate Charles N. Poe, who denied a defense motion to have the state’s charges dismissed due to an invalid warrant.
Detective R.M. Combs of the Mercer County Sheriff’s Department testified that Milam confessed to killing Lester Sloane, 58, of Harley Drive near Princeton.
