MAXTON — A Maxton man has been arrested and charged with the murder of a 31-year-old man who was reported missing on Thursday, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office.

Adrian Hernandez, 30, of 26 Isiah Road, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Vinson Junior Oxendine, of 199 Lakewood Drive, Maxton. Deputies found Hernandez hiding in a heating unit compartment of a mobile home in Lumber Bridge, according to sheriff’s Maj. Howard Branch. He is being held in the Robeson County jail under no bond.

Oxendine’s body was found during a search of woods near a field on Oxendine School Road. The body has been take to Chapel Hill for an autopsy by the state Medical Examiners Office.

Emily Goodman, of 409 Harper’s Ferry Road in Maxton, reported Oxendine missing on Thursday morning. She said Oxendine left at about 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday to meet someone about some money and never returned, according to Branch. Oxendine’s black four-door sedan was found on the side of Arthur Road at about 11:30 a.m. on Thursday.

Branch said Hernandez was linked to the murder through “numerous interviews” and “extensive legwork” by sheriff’s deputies. U.S. marshals and State Bureau of Investigation agents helped with the investigation.

Happy 236th
Thousands of people were dazzled by the fireworks display at the annual Lumberton Family Fourth celebration at the Lumberton High School football stadium on Tuesday. Many watched the display from parking lots and sidewalks around town and from their own front yards. Before the show, attendees were treated to a performance by the Carolina Breakers, and a stunt by the Army Rangers, who parachuted onto the football field.

It's beginning to sound like we have some commissioners posting! That's ok, they can post away. I don't expect little league teams to come to me or to any one other person for any money. I expect IF the discretionary funds were added back into the budget OR combined for community uses that we either voted on or applied for, that the money would be used more wisely and it would all be more transparent. Anonymous below said it well: "While there is more transparency with the voting, the funds can still be used to buy votes, and that's a problem." It's still a huge problem and those that think the commissioners did something great, just bought what they are selling.
