A Petersburg resident has been charged in the 2019 Thanksgiving Eve fatal shooting of an Ettrick man, whose killing stunned and puzzled a diverse group of the victimâs friends who often hang out along the banks of the Appomattox River in Petersburg.
Nearly 13 months after Joey Spillane was gunned down in an ambush slaying at a city traffic light, Petersburg police announced Saturday in social media posts that they had charged Sincere Quarles, 20, after âan extensive investigation.â
The U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force located Quarles at the Country Inn & Suites on Wagner Road in Petersburg about 11:30 a.m. Friday and took him into custody without incident, said task force supervisor Kevin Connolly. Quarles was also wanted on an assortment of other charges in Petersburg, Chesterfield County and Colonial Heights.

PETERSBURG Virginia State Police are on the hunt for a man who has failed to register with the state as a sex offender.
As late as last week, Charlton Leemon Evans, 45, was living at a residence on Ford Avenue in northern Dinwiddie County, VSP spokeswoman Corinne Geller said Wednesday. He was supposed to put his name in the Virginia sex-offender registry, but Geller said to this date, he has not registered. And now, he is nowhere to be found.
