Arty Allen Farris, 19, entered a not guilty plea to a first
degree murder charge Wednesday in Sequoyah County District Court in Sallisaw.
Farris was charged Tuesday for the death of Jason Stone, 22, on the night of
April 4. Farris told investigators that Stone and two others were at Farris’
home in Marble City, drinking. Farris said Stone was bullying him and hit
him on the lip. Farris said he then got a rifle, loaded one bullet, and shot
Stone when he called him a vulgar name. Farris told investigators that he then
spilled gasoline around the house and set it on fire. The state medical
examiner reported Stone died of smoke inhalation. Farris’ case was put on Judge
Larry Langley’s disposition docket on June 25. Stay tuned to KXMX for the latest news or visit www.kxmx.com.
