Hempfield Township, PA -- Pennsylvania State Police arrested a Hempfield Township man accused of shooting and killing another man on New Year's Eve. 

Troopers responded to a residence on Hugh Street after the alleged actor called 911 and confessed to killing another man in the evening hours of December 31, 2025. 

State police said Robert Naugle, 30, called 911 and stated, "I walked in on my wife with another man and I killed him." 

Troopers responded to the residence and detained Naugle at the scene. 

The victim, James Thomas, was discovered inside of the basement portion of the residence, deceased with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso.
