Raymond Groves, accused of murder and drug charges, appeared before a judge at the Anderson County Detention Center Tuesday morning.
The judge set a $10,000 surety bond on the drug charges, but bond couldn't be set by a magistrate on the murder charge.
Groves will have to go before a circuit judge.
Groves is accused with murder in a 2005 shooting death in the Bamboo Garden Restaurant on the Highway 28 Bypass.
James Wells walked to his car in the parking lot when a shooter gunned him down in an attempted robbery.
Investigators have not said what led to Groves’ arrest, but more details are expected later.
Investigators said James Wells was walking to his car when he was gunned down in an attempted robbery.
During a news conference in Anderson County, the sheriff said the $40,000 reward offered in the case will be awarded to a tipster if Groves is prosecuted successfully.
He declined to elaborate.
Well’s daughter was visibly emotional during the conference.
