Larry Joe Futrill, a 67 year old Lake Wales resident, has an active arrest warrant for 3 counts of sexual battery on a juvenile victim. Detective Mary Jerome obtained the arrest warrant Wednesday from the State Attorney’s Office after presenting evidence and testimony regarding an ongoing investigation.

     Futrill is also a person of interest and wanted for questioning in the December 19, 2012 homicide of William Macauley. Futrill is described as a white male, 5’10”, thin build, light complexion, and has white hair. It was reported Futrill recently cut his hair shorter so he may have a different appearance than the photos. Futrill’s mode of transportation is unknown. Police believe he could be in Elba, AL or Troy, AL.

Last week was a rewarding week for Huntingdon senior D.J. Chappell.

The defensive tackle began the week by becoming the first Huntingdon football player to earn first-team All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association. On Friday night, he was named first-team All-American by D3football.com.

“Anytime you receive recognition like this, it’s a great accomplishment,” Chappell said. “It feels good when your hard work is recognized. But like I’ve said before, it’s also a recognition of my teammates and the kind of players I’ve been fortunate to play with.”

Chappell, a two-time first-team All-South Region selection, was named honorable mention All-American by D3football.com in 2011.  

Huntingdon senior defensive tackle D.J. Chappell added to his list of accomplishments on Tuesday.

With the release of the American Football Coaches Association’s Division III All-America team, Chappell is the first Huntingdon football player to earn first-team All-America.

“It is a great honor to be recognized,” Chappell said. “I’ve worked hard to be the best player I can be and I thank God for allowing me to stay healthy and for the opportunities He has given me.

“Even though this is an individual award, to me, it’s also a recognition of the guys I had playing around me. I was blessed to have great teammates and we made each other better. I couldn’t have done the things I did without the guys I had around me.”

Chappell was recently named first-team All-South Region by D3football.com for a second straight year and was named honorable mention All-American by D3football.com as a junior.
