William “Butch” Lawrence Coffey III was arrested for what authorities say is a cold case murder out of Georgia. The killing happened more than 3 decades ago, and more than 1,000 miles away. Authorities say they have solved the case with an arrest made in Marietta Oklahoma. Almost 35yrs ago investigators say Bronzi Leon Peppers was shot in the head and killed outside of Augusta Georgia. Coffey now stands accused of murder and is being held in the Love County Jail on a warrant for his role in a 1975 killing of Peppers. Marietta Police say they arrested the 58yr old in the 100 block of 2^nd Street N.E… Officers say when they pulled up to the property Coffey was on the front porch and surrendered before they even served the warrant. Georgia investigators say when Coffey was in his early 20’s he took part in the murder, and that the shooting death was over drugs. People in the area say Coffey has been a wonderful person and neighbor since they have known him. Coffey has lived in Love County for a number of years without any kind criminal record. Investigators in Georgia say they arrested another man who they believe also took part in the shooting. They also said they don’t believe Coffey actually pulled the trigger in the murder, but say he played an active role in the crime.
