Porch dispute spurs council clash over width in town
A heated town council meeting over a wide porch on Main Street sparked public support from merchants and neighbors who branded enforcement as persecution. Despite a lockout and a stubborn safe, authorities adjourned with minutes missing, and Beltzhoover awaits a next hearing to decide on remodeling or removal. Nearby, a horse theft case led to arrest in Winchester as detectives traced a gray mare through Harper's Ferry and Charles Town to a suspect.
