SALISBURY, N.C. —
A Salisbury dentist found bound and strangled in his bed had been prescribing drugs to young women in exchange for sexual favors, according to search warrants.Detectives wrote in the warrant that Dr. James David Boyd, 47, made personal appointments at his office to prescribe the drugs, mainly to young females, WSOC-TV in Charlotte reported Tuesday.
The warrant said Boyd planned to meet with Candice Drye, 23, of Mocksville last week, "for the purpose of obtaining prescription narcotics, money and alcoholic beverages in exchange for sexual favors."
Drye is one of three people charged with murder in Boyd’s death. Also are charged are Jonathan Barnett, 18, and Christoper Boyd, 21, who are cousins. Christopher Boyd is not related to the victim.
The victim’s body was found Thursday morning by one of his employees who went to his home to check on him after he didn’t arrived at work. Boyd was found in his bed with his hands and feet bound, and a cord wrapped around his neck.
A spokeswoman for the state Attorney General’s Office said the State Bureau of Investigation had been investigating Boyd for diverting prescription drugs for illegal use. Spokeswoman Noelle Talley said the investigation began June 12 and ended with Boyd’s death.
An answering machine picked up at the home of a Dr. James Boyd in Salisbury on Tuesday but was disconnected when a reporter identified herself.
Murder suspect says dentist traded for sex
One of three people charged in the slaying of Dr. James David Boyd told the police she met with the dentist at his office last week to exchange sex for money, drugs and alcohol.
Candice Jo Drye also told the police she wasn’t the only person who performed sex acts with Boyd in exchange for prescription drugs, according to an affidavit Salisbury police Detective J.D. Barber filed Friday and which was made public Tuesday. The statement names no one else.
Several witnesses, who also weren’t named in Barber’s statement, told investigators that Boyd “made personal appointments at his office without the knowledge of his office staff, and that these appointments were made for prescribing narcotics in exchange for sexual favors, mainly to young females.â€
Also released Tuesday were copies of search warrants from Boyd’s office, on Statesville Boulevard in Salisbury, and in the same building as his dentist wife’s.
Among the items police took from the office: a blue plastic vibrator; 10 unused condoms; an empty plastic Nikolai vodka bottle; a Food Lion receipt for beer; a camcorder and videocassette tapes; and four notes with names and numbers, including Drye’s.
It’s unclear how Drye or the other two suspects knew the dentist. Drye’s relatives have told the Observer she was not a patient of Boyd’s but had visited his office, where he prescribed hydrocodone for her. Hydrocodone is a common but potentially habit-forming painkiller.
Police Chief Mark Wilhelm said Tuesday that last week, after Boyd’s body was discovered, he received a call from a woman who told him her daughter was a patient of James Boyd’s three years ago. The woman said that after her daughter’s dental visit, Boyd called her several times and invited her to his home, Wilhelm said.
No police report was filed, and Wilhelm said the department didn’t receive any complaints about Boyd when he was alive.
The N.C. State Board of Dental Examiners, which investigates complaints about dentists, never took any disciplinary action against Boyd, said Terry Friddle, the board’s deputy operations officer, who handles such investigations. Boyd had been a licensed dentist in good standing since June 1986, Friddle said.
Drye, 23, Jonathan Barnett, 18, and Christopher Boyd, 21, remained in the Rowan County jail without bond Tuesday, charged with James Boyd’s murder. Christopher Boyd is not related to the dentist. Barnett and Christopher Boyd are cousins.
A co-worker of James Boyd’s found his body at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday. Boyd, 47, had been strangled. He was in bed, with his feet and hands tied with electrical cord and his hands tied to the bed.
Boyd’s funeral was held Tuesday, with hundreds packing Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Salisbury.
Drye’s stepmother has told the Observer that Drye met Boyd at his office Wednesday night, then went to his home for drinks. At 4:19 the next morning, police pulled over a white Chevrolet pickup truck containing Drye, Barnett and Christopher Boyd. Police won’t say what they believe happened between Wednesday night and the traffic stop and have not established what time James Boyd died, Wilhelm said.

Ex-office manager sentenced to prison, pay restitution in embezzlement case
Wednesday, December 16th 2015, 12:38 pm ADT Sunday, December 20th 2015, 12:37 pm ADT By: WECT StaffCONNECT Guy Williams (Content retrieved from New Hanover Co. Jail)WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) –
Guy Williams, a former office administrator with Wilmington Plastic Surgery, was sentenced to prison Wednesday and ordered to pay restitution after pleading guilty to embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from the medical practice.
Former Wilmington Plastic Surgery administrator faces judge for embezzlement charges
Williams was sentenced to 3-4 years in prison, 60 months of probation, and ordered to pay $69,000 in restitution as well as $1,000 in court costs.
Three employees of Wilmington Plastic Surgery took the stand Wednesday to let the court and Williams know how much damage he caused. Dr. Jeff Church said Williams started stealing before he was even hired.
Williams got into a car accident shortly before he joined the practice, and once he was hired, charged his rental car to the company credit card, as well as a $4,000 down payment on his new car. Church said the spending sky-rocketed from there.
Williams spent more than half a million dollars on first class plane tickets to Paris for he and his wife, traffic tickets, delinquent taxes, his daughter’s sweet sixteen party, renovations to his home, and more.
Church said his firm has endured a lot of pain from William’s betrayal and his practice is ready for the closure.”We’re doctors, we want to take care of people, and the time and the effort we had to put into this really made double duty for us to do that, but we didn’t compromise our patient care and we took care of this,” Church said.
Williams started managing the plastic surgery office in 2007 before being fired in 2014, and later arrested.Warrants say Williams stole nearly $400,000 and forged a check for $200,000 with a doctor’s name.Williams faced a judge last year for two counts of embezzling more than or equal to $100,000, two counts of embezzlement, and one count of forgery of endorsement.
According to court officials, he pleaded guilty to 16 counts of embezzlement and one count of forgery of endorsement earlier this month as part of a negotiated plea.
The ex-police chief of Carthage, North Carolina, has been charged with felony embezzlement after it was discovered that he used the town’s credit card to pay for personal expenses.

A Morganton woman was sent to prison on Monday for embezzling more than $300,000 from a Marion business.
Tammy Davis Gurley, 48, of Wesley Road in Morganton, was found guilty of one count of Class C embezzlement Monday in McDowell County Superior Court. Gurley’s lawyer told the judge that she has accepted responsibility for her conduct.
She was sentenced to a minimum of 44 months and a maximum of 62 months in prison. She did not have any days time served and is not to have contact with the victims. She was immediately taken into custody in the courtroom.
In Aug. of 2013, Gurley was arrested and charged with embezzling from the orthodontist office of Dr. Christopher Nevant, located on South Main Street in Marion. Gurley was employed at the office for nearly 15 years and was responsible for daily deposits and insurance claims.
Nevant told The McDowell News on Monday the total amount of money she took was $339,128.35 over a period of five years.
“I am happy that this case has finally been brought to justice,” said Nevant in a prepared statement. “It was a very unfortunate situation that occurred and I have learned a lot about embezzlement over the past two years. Embezzlement is a serious crime that destroys many people and in most instances, the embezzler is never held accountable.”
Nevant thanked Sgt. Rick Gutierrez of the Marion Police Department who was responsible for investigating and charging Gurley.
“He has worked diligently over the past two years doing everything he could to prosecute this crime fairly and professionally. Rick has spent countless hours reviewing financial information to properly document the circumstances that occurred,” Nevant said in his prepared statement. “I appreciate Rick’s dedication to this case to assure that the criminal was held responsible for her action.”
Nevant said the conviction was also made possible by McDowell’s new district attorney Ted Bell, who he said took the case very seriously.
“District Attorney Ted Bell was willing to put the time and effort into this case to be sure that justice was properly served and the convicted felon was not let off with a slap on the wrist,” said Nevant in his statement. “Ted Bell is committed to hold criminals responsible for their actions and is a breath of fresh air to the criminal justice system in McDowell and Rutherford counties that was very much overdue.”
