WV State Police chief calls Messenger case a black eye for agency
West Virginia State Police Superintendent Gary L. Edgell said the sentencing of former trooper Gary L. Messenger II to 87 months for civil rights violations against Raymond Neal Rose of Welch marks a black eye for the department. Federal Judge David A. Faber urged training on rights violations and policing conduct while stressing the case as a training example for cadets and in-service personnel. Messenger faces state charges tied to the October arrest and a January 17, 2001 Welch trial date looms. special prosecutor Tod Houck said no immediate comment on impact of federal case on state charges.
