The County Clay  Summer Grand  Jury netted 15 new folks to the offender checklist. This time around, most are going to stand trial for Felony issues but there are some misdemeanor charges as well. The info we're providing comes from the original criminal complaints on file in the Circuit Clerk's office. All of the Class will stand before Judge Jack Alsop on Tuesday July 21st to get set up for scheduling, trial and or a plea.
   We're suppose to say, everybody is innocent until proven guilty. Consider it said.
  There is a common theme amongst all the names typed below. Dumber than a box of rocks comes to our minds. Read for yourself what makes this place so very special.
  
  Oscar Lee Adkins (DOB 2-23-1968) stands indicted on multiple malicious assault charges and two destruction of property citations. Green Shirt R E Wiseman was the arresting Badge dated back on Jan 9 2020. Wiseman was responding to an attempted arson complaint in the Indore area. The accused then spun gravel on a vehicle causing damage plus ramming the back of another vehicle before pouring gasoline on a victim and lit it.  While someone at the scene was attempting to put out the fire, Adkins tossed gasoline on her and said he was going to light her on fire.
  Each charge could land Mr Adkins in the slammer for a year.

   John R Mosley (DOB 5-3-1960)  is under arrest for failing to register as a sex offender back in Dec 2019.Mosley was suppose to meet up with Green Shirt  RR Cervera and get the paperwork in order. Mosley was a no show. Mr Mosley is looking at up to 5years behind bars for his transgression.

  Laura Sue Randall (DOB 12-16-1972)  was arrested on Grand Larceny, forgery and fraudulent schemes on Dec 9th after the Clay County Bank caught her attempting to cash checks  belonging to the Widen Days Committee. Check number 1111 was written for $1000. If found guilty, Ms Randall is looking at up to 10 years for her rotten ways.

  Jonathan Arden McGlothlin (DOB 11-4-1989) fits in that category of being dumber than a rock. IF you're going to steal a vehicle it should not be one painted white with State Road stripes and emblems affixed. Heck! Everybody spotted it going up Riptoe.  That made life much easier for Green Shirt Cervera who captured the driver of the 2012 Super Duty Ford F-350. Mr McGlothlin floated, he had bought the truck for $250. He is charged with receiving stolen goods.

  Adam Christian Cayton (DOB 6-19-1975) is charged with sexual abuse in the third degree.The Feb 2020 arrest after Green Shirt Cervera did the investigation. The victim is a 15 year old female.

  Christopher Jeremy Graham (DOB 12-31-1984) is charged with Burglary and Destruction of Property relating to a Sept 20th 2019 incident near Duck West Virginia. Graham is alleged to have come thru an unlocked door and started yelling and cussing at the victim. After a coffee table was thrown against the wall, the victim called 911 and the bad kid , the victim's son , skedaddled. Mr Graham is looking at a 1 to 15 year sentence. Green Shirt RE Wiseman was the arresting Badge

  Gary Wayne Moore (DOB 10-6-1971) is the grand prize winner in terms of jail time. Based on a Criminal Complaint filed by Green Shirt S L Bass in Feb 2020, is charged with first degree murder. Most of us remember this case evolves around the shooting death of James Stone in the Hubbard Lane neighborhood of Lizemores. There a scuffle started inside the residence then out a backdoor followed by front porch engagements.  From the complaint: Morris stated that he would shoot you where you stand... Gary then fired fired one round at James Stone but missed. He then quickly fired another shot hitting Stone in the chest... Stone stumbled back and managed to climb back on the porch where he collapsed in the front door way. If found guilty, Moore is looking at a life sentence behind bars.

Dusty Wade Pritt (DOB 4-19-81)  was indicted on burglary and destruction of property. Here's a guy that manages to get in trouble on a pretty regular basis. This caper dates back to Jan 2020 and involved Dusty Pritt busting thru a screen door of a man that had been in the hospital for 2 weeks.  Two bad guys took off after bogs starting barking. Two flash lights were noticed by the victim. From the complaint: One of the subjects yelled leave me alone. The victim immediately knew it was Dusty Pritt by his voice.
  Get this, 10 minutes later, there came Mr Pritt walking past the same residence in dark clothing at a brisk pace.

Green Shirt RE Wiseman was at it again in mid March when he noticed a gray SUV on the LEft zfork of Sandy with defective equipment. Initiating the traffic stop did not go so well. While speeding down the road, the SUV nearly struck another vehicle. after losing control of the SUV, Larry Joe Cummings (DOB 3-19-93) was cuffed. Turned out about everything unlawful possible was the findings.
  To make matters worser, Mr Cummings had an outstanding warrant from Kanawha County for parole violations.
  His list of transgressions include: Fleeing, no license; no registration, improper registration,  False certificates; unsafe equipment; and destruction of property.
   He's in the grease for sure

  Robert S Patterson (DOB 1-16-88) was indicted on Felony Burglary charges stemming from a Oct 19 2019 heist  on Clinic Drive. The burglary victim advised that  a Robert Scotty Patterson may have been the culprit. Get this. The victims tracked down Mr Patterson who admitted to the crime and stealing. Patterson returned some of the items to the victim. That was nice but he's still in trouble with the Court.

   Wallback's Roy A Wood (DOB 1-18-78) made Green Shirt J M Ellis II work for his wages on Dec 12th 2020. After getting spotted by the Green Shirt, Woods thought he could out run a Badge mobile and the radio transmissions. Dumb Dumb Dumb
   With his foot to the pedal Wood headed up Rt 36, passed another vehicle on a double line, out Hansford Fork on over to  Horse Fork Road. There Roy almost went over the hillside trying to get on Simmons Fork. With the blue lights flashing, it was time to evade the Badge on foot, feets.
  With the chase in full force, out came the taser and then ended the fleeing part of the crime.
  Add to the fleeing stuff, no inspection sticker, improper registration, suspended license, no insurance, and and, surely not, but Yes, Roy Wood had active warrants for similar offenses elsewhere.
  Badges caught him before for doing the same thang and he tries it again.

  And for the final Spring Jury Classmate, Billy Todd Schoonover (DOB 12-6-1963) indicted on sexual abuse in the first degree. Schoonover is the grand father of the victim!!! Of course he denied everything.

  all the indicted is suppose to show up on Tuesday July 21st for Arraignment Day in front of Judge Jack Alsop. Two guesses readers. Those that do show up, they'll all say, Heck now Mr Judge I didn't do it.  And, the no shows for the mandatory Court appearance, you will see them housed in Central Regional Jail in short order.
  There's another chance at getting a glimpse of indictees. Every one of em will have to whizz test before getting set free on bond. IF they test hot, Yelp, we'll have a new mug shot to go with our collection.
