LUMBERTON, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Red Springs teen has been charged with shooting a Lumberton man and dumping his body in a bean field.
According to a release from the Robeson County Sheriff's Office, 17-year-old Joseph Noah Cummings was arrested Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder in the death of 23-year-old Rogers Oneal Robinson. He's also charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon.
