The two men who shot into the off-campus apartment of Virginia Tech football player Victor “Macho” Harris last November will have their day in Montgomery County Circuit Court Tuesday morning.
Anthony Jobair Lucas of Washington and Augustus Pajibo Peal will both have a jury trial, which is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Tuesday, to answer to the charge of maliciously shooting into an occupied dwelling. On November 11, 2007, Blacksburg police responded to Harris’ apartment at 3:49 a.m. after neighbors reported hearing shots fired. Seven shots were fired from a 9mm handgun and a single blast from a shotgun also struck the apartment. At least two of the 9mm rounds penetrated the interior of the apartment. No one was injured in the shooting, which took place in the 700 block of Appalachian Drive, which is part of the Chasewood Downs Apartment Complex. Peal, who was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, is also facing numerous other charges in Montgomery County, Radford, and Roanoke County. In Montgomery County alone, Peal, who was a third-year student at Virginia Tech at the time of his arrest, is currently facing 10 counts of grand larceny and eight counts of burglary. Those alleged offenses took place in October and November of 2007. He is scheduled to go on trial June 2 for those charges. In Radford, Peal was indicted on 10 larceny and burglary charges. He is schedule to appear in Radford Circuit Court on June 13, 2008 at 9 a.m. Peal is also due in Roanoke County Circuit Court this afternoon (May 5) to answer to one count of burglary and one count of grand larceny for an alleged offense that took place on November 21, 2007. Court records also showed that Peal was convicted in Montgomery County General District Court on Sept. 20, 2007 of being drunk in public. He was also convicted on August 20, 2007 of grand larceny in Loudon County Circuit Court.
