State Official's Stolen Vehicle Recovered in Boone

  Police have recovered a stolen state vehicle that was issued to West Virginia School Building Authority executive director Mark Manchin.

The Boone County Sheriff’s Department found the Ford Fusion on Tuesday at a home in the Bloomingrose area.

Manchin had reported the vehicle stolen in late April from a hotel parking garage in Charleston.

Boone County chief deputy Chad Barker tells media outlets that deputies went to the home to arrest 51-year-old David Griffy Sr. and 24-year-old Marra Altizer on unrelated petit larceny charges.

Barker says police haven’t determined who took the vehicle.

Manchin says he’s glad that the vehicle was recovered.

The Charleston Gazette first reported the theft.

Harrison Co. Expected to Name Mark Manchin as Superintendent

West Virginia School Building Authority executive director Mark Manchin says he plans to step down to become Harrison County’s school superintendent.
 
     The county Board of Education has scheduled a special meeting Wednesday to vote on a proposed contract. School board president David Sturm tells media outlets that he expects the board to approve the contract.
 
     Manchin says he will accept the job if it’s offered.
 
     Manchin has served as the SBA’s executive director since 2006. He previously served as the state-appointed superintendent of McDowell County Schools and as Webster County’s superintendent.
 
     The Marion County native says the move would put him closer to his mother, who lives in Fairmont. An aunt and several cousins live in Harrison County.
