This morning, the Yancey County Sheriff’s Office assisted Homeland Security and the U.S. Marshals in the arrest of Paul David Dover, 67, of Spruce Pine. Dover was taken into custody in the parking lot outside of Burnsville McDonald’s. Dover is now in federal custody and will face charges related to child exploitation.
“The safety of all the children in our communities is a top priority,” said Sheriff Shane Hilliard. “We will continue working with our law enforcement partners to ensure those who pose a threat are held accountable.”
