The arrest citation for the Grayson County man accused of killing his girlfriend’s mother, critically injuring her father and seriously injuring the girlfriend with a sword says the suspect admitted the crimes and was on drugs at the time of the attack.
The citation, written by Kentucky State Police Det. Bryan Washer, who is leading the murder investigation, states that the murder suspect, 48-year-old George T. Greer, of Falls of Rough, “… admitted being under the influence of drugs and admitted to killing one female and assaulting another female and a male with a samurai sword” on Indian Ridge Road.
Tereas Boles, Laura Tabor’s mother, was killed in the attack. Joseph Boles, Laura Tabor’s father, was critically injured in the attack, while Tabor, Greer’s girlfriend, was seriously injured.
The citation, in addition to revealing Greer’s confession, offers insight on the suspect’s movements between the time of the murders, at approximately 7:15 Monday morning, and his arrest at 1:28 Monday afternoon.
“After the assaults took place, subject (Greer) then took a vehicle (2008 Chrysler Town & Country minivan) from the residence and attempted to flee,” the citation states. “Subject broke into a residence at one point and stole some items of clothing. Subject then drove to a residence and on to farm property (on Hollow Church Road) where he crashed one vehicle. He then ran from officers and troopers and stole a vehicle (Chevrolet Impala) at another residence on Amy Way in Short Creek.”
Police gave chase at that point, as Greer, the citation says, “eventually got the stolen vehicle stuck in the mud on a farm” on Edwards Cemetery Road. This, as K105 reported on Monday, was a result of Grayson County Jailer Jason Woosley spotting Greer on Owensboro Road (Hwy 54) and pursuing the Impala.
After getting the Impala stuck in mud, Greer “exited the vehicle and fled on foot from troopers and officers,” according to the citation, but the suspect was eventually apprehended and placed under arrest.
Greer was lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center where he’s been charged with murder, two counts of attempted murder, first-degree burglary, theft by unlawful taking (auto), and two counts of fleeing or evading police (motor vehicle, on foot).
At Greer’s arraignment on Wednesday in front of District Judge Steve Crebessa, the suspect pled not guilty. Crebessa set Greer’s bond at $500,000.
On the door leading to Crebessa’s courtroom at the Grayson County Judicial Center, there was a sign indicating that no audio or video recording devices were allowed inside the courtroom.
Several law enforcement agencies participated in the manhunt for Greer, including but not limited to the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office, Constable Mark Stanton, who was the first law enforcement official on scene, the Leitchfield and Clarkson Police Departments, Kentucky State Police, the Kentucky State Police Aircraft Support Branch, Kentucky Fish & Wildlife, the Breckinridge County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio County Sheriff’s Office, and Edmonson County Sheriff’s Office.
