Jackson is suspected of stealing and damaging multiple Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader cameras in the Morgantown area on June 26, according to the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Office. WBOY reports he was arraigned in Monongalia County on Thursday and pleaded not guilty to both charges.

When WDTV shared a story about his arrest, the local TV station’s Facebook post went viral with tens of thousands of shares, likes and comments supporting Jackson. Many even claimed to offer an alibi.

“He was with me that day, you got the wrong guy,” one Facebook user said.

“He was saving my neighbors dog from a fire all day couldn’t be him,” another wrote.

“Free my boy he ain’t do it, we were playing halo 2 at the specified time,” a third claimed.

“This can’t be the guy, we were both on the operating table together at the time . He gave me a kidney. I’ll vouch for him,” a fourth said.

“That man is innocent. I saw him serving at a soup kitchen at the time of the incident,” a fifth wrote.

“Couldn’t have been him - we were out counting blades of grass in the field whenever you say he did this,” a sixth suggested.

That’s storm was something! I pray that everyone is ok, safe, and rescued! Prayers for Upsher County and Lewis County! After the storm. We got a mess to clean up that we don’t want to do. But we do it to help people. During the 2nd Storm in Harrison County. In my area. Around 5:15-5:30 I started to see something green. And I noticed. The sky is green. Normally a tornado or hurricane would happen when the sky is green. I hope everyone is safe in St. Mary’s to Upsher County through the mountains. Do something good for those who are hurt. Who doesn’t have a home. I hope we don’t get this again.

While researching North Bend Rail-Trail | West Virginia Rails To Trails https://wvrailtrails.org/rail_trail/north-bend-rail-trail/ I stumbled across The Little Kanawha River Trail https://lkrtrail.com/home-3188-4299

Having grown up in South Parkersburg during the 50's & 60's finding a Trail where I spent so much of my youth immediately struck a cord. Time spent swimming and picnicking at the Leachtown Locks https://www.newsandsentinel.com/news/community-news/2025/05/waterways-little-kanawha-river-once-filled-big-transportation-need/ brought back the memories.

The Little Kanawha River Trail website seems to be lacking function. Are there any places where more information can be found.

Job Squad Inc and the Seeing Hand Association are hosting disability resource fairs at their locations in Charleston and Wheeling on August 5th. Whether you’re looking for employment opportunities, disability resources, community services, advocacy organizations, or support for yourself or a loved one, this event is for you. If you know anyone that could benefit from this event please get the word out to them. It’s completely free and purely for educational purposes.

I’m looking for people to interview for a podcast about events that happened in West Virginia about twenty years ago (Gov. Bob Wise administration). I’ve released five episodes so far, I’m afraid if I list the title it might break guidelines for self promotion. Maybe a mod can advise? I don’t want to break rules.

What happened was a company called Sequelle got federal and state money for a broadband project, which never did what it promised, basically just transferred money to shell companies in Ohio. Sequelle went under and the woman at the center of it, Heidi Laughery, was convicted of conspiracy to commit money laundering and narrowly avoided prison.

I’ve made two trips to WV this year to dig through records and interview people. If you know something or would be willing to be interviewed, please reach out.

The Depression and Bipolar Disorder Support Alliance of West Virginia (DBSA WV) will be hosting a free online presentation about Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) on July 31, 2026 from 10AM to 11AM, given by Jeremy Dixon, TBI Outreach Coordinator for the West Virginia University Center for Excellence in Disabilities. Register for the event at www.dbsawv.org (registration required in advance to receive the meeting link).

Description: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is highly prevalent across all ages and in many settings that often go undetected. Cognitive, emotional, and behavioral effects of brain injury can interfere with daily functioning, social relationships, and overall quality of life. This session examines how TBI impacts brain function and the compounded impact of cooccurring mental health disorders. Participants will learn about TBI, sign/symptoms, prevalence statistics, communication tips, TBI screening, and gain practical accommodations along with learning about WV TBI Services as a resource.

Tomorrow in the NCWV and the Ohio Valley there is an extreme thunderstorm! I pray for everyone to be safe! When they say. “They say “you need to be prepared” well dingdong, what if tomorrow isn’t as bad as you think!” I’m following a meteorologist “Ryan Hall” and watching every step of the way! Again! I don’t know who you are! But I’m praying for you and your families safety!

Edit: From Charleston (including Huntington) up to Wheeling is under Extreme Thunderstorm!

EDIT: UPDATE: it’s not going to storm until 3pm! Please be cautious!
