LAKEPORT, Calif. – The man arrested for killing an acquaintance in Lucerne with a vehicle early Tuesday has been formally charged and made his first court appearance.
Thomas Andrew Magee, 62, of Clearlake, was arrested for the killing of Joseph Symond Jackson, 40, of Lucerne, as Lake County News has reported.
Authorities said Magee ran Jackson over with his van on Highway 20 and Seventh Avenue in Lucerne at about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday before fleeing the scene. A California Highway Patrol officer took Magee into custody about 20 minutes later near Clearlake Oaks.
The sheriff’s office said that the two men, who had been acquaintances for a short time, had a dispute over property leading up to Jackson’s killing.
Magee was arraigned in Lake County Superior Court on Thursday.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Richard Hinchcliff said he has filed a criminal complaint against Magee, charging him with first-degree murder and vehicular manslaughter.
At Thursday’s arraignment, Magee’s bail – which initially was set at $1 million – was raised to $1.3 million, Hinchcliff said.
Jail records show that Magee is set to return to court on Sept. 17.
