Man Cited After Gun Found in Bag at Yeager Airport

Yeager Airport police cited a Logan County man after a loaded handgun was discovered in a carry-on bag.

The Transportation Security Administration says a TSA officer staffing an X-ray machine at the airport’s checkpoint detected the .38-caliber semiautomatic handgun on Saturday as the bag passed along a conveyor belt.

The man told officers that he forgot he had the gun, which was loaded with five bullets.

The TSA says in a news release that the Chapmanville resident was cited by airport police on a state weapons charge. Airport police also took possession of the gun.

$1 Million W.Va. Arson Scheme Sees Three More Sentenced

Three more defendants in a $1 million arson insurance scheme in Logan have been sentenced to prison.
 
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said the three were sentenced to a total of 25 years in prison for their roles in the February 2012 torching of a law office building in downtown Logan. The scheme was the brainchild of James Gregory Glick, a restaurateur who collected $1 million in an insurance payout on the building.
 
Glick was sentenced last week to seven years. A co-conspirator, insurance agent William Jamey Thompson of Chapmanville, was sentenced to five years.
 
Sentenced this week for their roles in the scheme were Michael D. Williams of Logan, who set the fire; and Shawn C. Simon of Charles and Guy R. Miller of Logan.
