Isn't this the second incident in just a few months where a Knox County Schools security officer committed a serious crime?

Did you see the video?

I cannot imagine living across the street from that guy.

The other Knox Schools Officer shot a guy in the leg outside a Burlington bar and then slammed himself behind the door inside the bar.

Apparently totally different scenarios, I don't know why Waggoner is in jail unless to keep the neighbors from harming him. Maybe?

If you don't have a subscription, the video is available at You Tube.

The system failed the man in jail.

And WATE’s may have been worse.

And I’m guessing Bean called this a feud because of the KNS. They are still calling it a “feud”.

Doesn’t a feud need two sides?

Maybe there’s more to come, but from what I’ve seen and read, Woodby was the aggressor. Sometimes when you go looking for it, you find it.

I agree.
I cannot imagine being in Waggoner's position.

As I stated, maybe there’s more to it, but I’m not going to be at all shocked if Woodby turns out to have had local friends in law enforcement or the local judiciary.

If what Waggoner sent to the media matches up to what he sent the Union County DA and grand jury, it is they who got Woodby killed.

Woodby should have been in jail.

I agree with Betty that being this guy's neighbor had to be intolerable.

Where was Woodby when he got shot?

This seems like a case where a jury will get to decide whether they want to be peers with an ordinary guy or an enraged pustule.

A good lawyer'd make the jury want to dig Woodby up and shoot him again, as Ray H. Jenkins used to say. And ol' Ray didn't even have the benefit of videotape. Imagine what he could've done with this one.

Folks out in the country have little choice about where to put their mailboxes. Clearly Woodby watched for Waggoner or his son to start across the road to get the mail whereupon he'd come roaring out like a rabid boar hog. That 'You're my bitch' handclap move would have had me crazy the second time he did it.

That's not to say Waggoner was an angel, necessarily. Evidently he ran a gun shop at home, and in one of the sequences, it looked like his son took a handgun out of his pocket and laid it down on the driveway before he crossed the street. That being said, Woodby was way, way out of control. Given his casual attire and the fact that he had nothing better to do than watch for his neighbor to go to his mailbox, what do you want to bet he wasn't collecting a disability check?

Also, on one of those days, it looks like Woodby's next-door neighbor came over and sided with Waggoner. Woodby's demented bellowing must have echoed up and down that holler.

Also, it was Union County.

I think this is a good case for getting a post office box.

Been snooping around and found some very interesting, if not exactly trustworthy, info on these guys. This is unfiltered Union County scuttlebutt, so take it for what it's worth. Woodby, from the tone of this talk, absolutely sounds more connected in that community, but it's also fair to surmise that neither of these guys were Boy Scouts. Still, that video trumps gossip, I think.

How freakin' embarrassing. That guy is likely a distant relative of mine (same last name), though I have no idea who he is. (I guess I wouldn't admit it if I did know him)

I can't read the story since it's behind the pay wall. Looks like a whole lot of Union Co. in that video.

The TBI says at the time of the shooting Woodby was not carrying a firearm, however he did have a walking stick with him.

"Until there's that over-act, something that does rise to the level of an illegality or violates a civil statute you basically have very little remedy," said 6 News Legal Analyst Greg Isaacs.

Overt act

I’d really like to see an account from the press of what Waggoner is accused of doing.

They keep calling it a feud without including any explanation of what Waggoner did.

They could just as easy be calling this “feud” story a self-defense story. Or wait until a jury decides whether it’s murder or self-defense.

But until then, or until the press provides something Waggoner did, I maintain they’re framing this story incorrectly.

Judge found there to be probable cause for case to be bound over to grand jury on a first degree murder charge. (Kevin Waggoner case)

Two guys with guns versus one guy with a stick. Hmm. There could be another reason why Waggoner video-recorded all those earlier confrontations and mailed them to a TV station a few days before Woodby died with possible defensive wounds in his forearms.

Here's WATE's account of today's court proceedings....

Such an interesting case.

It doesn't seem like a good idea to have a gun store in your home.
