COLUMBUS COUNTY, NC (WWAY) -- A Columbus County man is in jail charged with killing his mother's boyfriend with a golf club.

Deputies arrested Larry O. Simmons this morning after a grand jury indicted him for second-degree murder yesterday.

Investigators say Phillip Ikner died last month after Simmons hit him in the back of the neck with a golf club.

It happened during an argument at their home in Nakina Jan. 28.

Was it a metal wood, iron, hybrid or putter? The only previous case I know of was a Tony Penna 6 iron.

No problem. I'm not

No problem. I'm not normally one to pick on someone's spelling - I can screw up typing as much as the next person. I just found the back of the beck to be a bit humorous.
