Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier said that on Saturday night, Raymond Dolin, 39, was sitting on the side of Highway 2 a few miles west of Glasgow and waiting for a ride when a man drove up in a maroon pickup, shot him and drove off shortly before 6 p.m.
Dolin, from West Virginia, is hitchhiking across the country and writing a memoir called "The Kindness of America," Meier said.
Update: The case of Ray Dolin, a struggling photographer from West Virginia, garnered international attention last year after he shot himself in the arm along a rural highway, then concocted a story about a random drive-by shooting as he was stopped for lunch. Dolin stuck with his tale even after a Washington state man was wrongly arrested and jailed in the case.A hitchhiker who falsely claimed to be the victim of a drive-by shooting received a four-year deferred sentence and was ordered to pay more than $7,500 in fines and restitution by a Montana judge, authorities said Tuesday.
