A man accused of shooting another man in Kirbyville on Monday afternoon has been released on bond from the Jasper County Jail, while the man who was shot has now been released from a hospital.
56-year-old George Hardy Manchac, of Kirbyville, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury. Precinct 3 Justice of the Peace Mike Smith had set his bond at $75,000.00.
Manchac is accused of shooting 31-year-old Chase Davis in the back. It occurred next to the Dover Exxon Jiffy Market in the 400 block of Highway 96. Davis was flown to a Beaumont hospital where he underwent emergency treatment.
Kirbyville Police Chief Paul Brister says that Manchac thought that Davis had stolen his wallet so he shot him.
