MARSHALL — Harrison County authorities are preparing to release a man charged with a December 2011 murder. William Penn Jones Jr., 31, of Marshall, was arrested in Montgomery County in May of last year in the murder of Kenneth Dillard Jr., 22. His body was found near St. James Cemetery in Harleton. He had been stabbed repeatedly, investigators said. The Longview New-Journal is reporting that charges against Jones will be dropped and he will be released from jail due to insufficient evidence connecting him with the death.
