A Kanawha County judge issued a 30 day injunction blocking the West Virginia Public Port Authority from selecting a site for a regional airport. The decision delays Wednesday’s expected vote as the Supreme Court considers a legal issue. Independent consultants favored Evergreen Church in Putnam County for proximity to Charleston and Huntington. Lincoln County’s Interstate 64 site remains a front runner. Yeager Airport argues the selection needs approval from an affected public agency, while the port authority disputes this.
Fayette County Circuit Judge John W. Hatcher Jr. sentenced 45 year old Roger W. McClung to one to five years for growing about 24 marijuana plants at his sister’s home. He rejected the medical-use defense despite claims the plants aided his sister during chemotherapy. Prosecutors indicated a plea deal would dismiss an illegal possession of explosive devices charge. Police found 24 plants, fertilizer, and growing lights in a barn. McClung’s sister, Carole Fisher, denied using the marijuana.
Kevin DeWayne Cardwell, 29, is set to die by injection Thursday for the 1991 murder abduction and slaying of Anthony Brown, a Hempstead, New York drug courier, after luring him from a Richmond bus station to a wooded area.
