LANEXA—A year after he allegedly gunned down a Williamsburg teenager in possible self-defense, fled his rental home here in New Kent County, and then surrendered to federal agents in Alabama, John Steven Carter is still off the radar of the county prosecutor. “I just haven’t decided yet what we are going to do,“ said C. Linwood Gregory, New Kent’s commonwealth’s attorney, when asked about the high-profile case recently.

New Kent may not seek charges against fugitive A fugitive captured this week in Alabama after years on the run may never be returned for trial in New Kent County, where authorities say he gunned down a teenager and operated a multimillion-dollar marijuana-growing operation. New Kent Commonwealth’s Attorney Linwood Gregory said yesterday that bringing John Steven Carter back to Virginia might be too costly and unnecessarily duplicative of the charges he’s facing first in Florida.
