| HIST | Is this the correct Jason Dustin Compton who killed Trey? jkh Compton denied bond Magistrate defers decision to circuit court judge Matt Walsh / The Sumter Item Jason Dustin Compton, who was accused of killing a women with a hammer this weekend, and assaulting two others, listens to the judge deny him bond during his Tuesday hearing. Coroner Harvin Bullock also made a rare appearance to the bond hearing expressing his support for the victims and explaining how heinous he thought the crime was. BY TYLER SIMPSON tyler@theitem.com (803) 774-1295 Jason Dustin Compton has been accused of what Sumter County Coroner Harvin Bullock described as "one of the most heinous crimes he has ever seen, beyond compare." After his bond hearing Tuesday afternoon, it was clear Compton won't be leaving jail anytime soon. Compton, who has been charged with bludgeoning 44-year-old Tracey Koepfler to death with a hammer Saturday morning, appeared before Magistrate Judge George Gibson at Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center while the victim's family looked on. Investigator Wayne Dubose with the Sumter County Sheriff's Office requested bond be denied on all seven charges, which Judge Gibson granted. "Because of the nature of the situation, we're just going to go ahead and deny them all, put them together and let the circuit court judge handle it," Gibson said to Compton. Compton has been charged with murder, two counts of attempted murder, attempted criminal sexual conduct with a minor, first-degree attempted criminal sexual conduct and two counts of kidnapping. According to the initial reports, he assaulted Koepfler with a hammer to the head at a residence in the 4300 block of Bethel Church Road and then assaulted and attempted to force her 14-year-old daughter and a wheelchair-bound 46-year-old woman to disrobe. Bullock confirmed the cause of Koepfler's death was blunt force trauma to the head. "I went to examine the victim at (Tuomey Regional Medical Center) when she was brought in, and it's just absolutely sickening that somebody would hurt somebody that way," Bullock said. "You hate to use the word animal, but this is barbaric and completely inexcusable." With the exception of saying he had no questions for the judge, Compton remained silent during the bond hearing. Bullock, who was present during the bond hearing, told the judge he wished to support the family and that he was more than willing to help make sure Compton is "fully prosecuted for his crimes." Deputies arrested Compton at the residence shortly after the incident. Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis has said Compton confessed to the killing. Dennis has said that Compton also confessed to using cocaine when deputies arrested him, indicating he was under the influence of the drug during the assault. Both the 46-year-old and the 14-year-old victims were treated at Tuomey and recently released. The 14-year-old girl was released into the custody of her grandparents. She suffered an abrasion to the forehead after Compton allegedly struck her with the hammer, as well. Dennis said he spoke with Koepfler's family Monday, saying that they were still stunned and upset about the incident. "They're dealing with it," Dennis said. "We are currently trying to get some counseling to help them." Posted in Local news, News on Wednesday, May 7, 2014 [2] | |
