(Walhalla, SC). Earl Dean Jordan pled guilty today in Oconee General Sessions Court to Negligent Discharge of a Firearm While Hunting Causing a Death. The Honorable Cordell Maddox sentenced Jordan to 3 years suspended to 90 days home incarceration to be followed by 2 years probation.

Jordan and the victim, Adam Becker, were hog hunting with a group near New Cut Road outside of Walhalla in March of 2009. Becker was coming through the woods when Jordan negligently discharged his firearm in Becker’s direction. Becker died at Oconee Memorial Hospital later that day from a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
