An investigation conducted by Richmond County Sheriff’s Office with assistance from Westmoreland Sheriff’s Office led to the arrest of 41 year-old Brian Joseph Booth from Kinsale.
Booth is charged with three counts of death or bodily injury to a person and the bomb threat.
Smith did not provide a motive for Booth’s alleged offenses. A search of the statewide records system shows Booth does not have a criminal history in Virginia.
