George WatersBENTON, Tenn. – A Polk County man accused of shooting three people in the head was denied bond Wednesday.
George Steven Waters, 33, showed little emotion during the brief proceedings in General Sessions Court. He is accused of slaying his uncle, aunt and cousin in a property dispute.
While Waters’ face was blank, a couple of family members in the courtroom visibly struggled to hold back their tears.
“The defendant extinguished the lives of his victims, each of them shot in the head,” said Drew Robinson, assistant district attorney for the 10th Judicial District, which serves Polk, Bradley, McMinn and Monroe counties.
Waters is charged with slaying Willard Waters, 61, his wife Wanda, 59, and their son, Doug, 40. The three were found Friday on rural property on George Road in the Grassy Creek community.
