John Wayne Peck, 29, turned himself over to police following a direct indictment by a Caroline County Grand Jury, said Caroline County Commonwealth’s Attorney Tony Spencer.
Peck, who is also charged with possession of a firearm in commission of a felony, will be out of jail on a $100,000 bond, Spencer said.
The charges had previously been nolle prossed as a way of delaying the trial.
Peck’s charges stem from the shooting of Jerry Curtis Beverly Beverly, 61, after he and Peck returned from a hunting day-trip with a group of men. Witnesses to the shooting said the two men got into an altercation after the trip.
Peck is set to be arraigned on the reinstated charges Jan. 7.
