Woman married to Amelia man who accepted plea deal for hunting incident now charged with felony abduction
In Amelia County, Virginia, a recent incident involving a shotgun, an arrest, and ongoing tensions between former acquaintances has garnered attention. Following a plea deal made by Thomas Farleigh in connection to the accidental killing of his 18-year-old neighbor, Lilly Patman, his wife, Deborah Farleigh, now also faces legal issues. Deborah was recently charged with one felony count of abduction and one misdemeanor count of brandishing a firearm after allegedly blocking in Lilly's mother, Grace Patman, with a shotgun. She turned herself in to authorities and was released on a bond. Thomas Farleigh, who accepted a plea deal for the 2023 hunting accident that led to Lilly's death, will serve no jail time but faces other penalties, including probation and a loss of hunting privileges. Lilly, who tragically passed away during a hunting event on Farleigh's property, was remembered by her family as a recent graduate and aspiring social worker.
