Kentucky Men Indicted For Theft Of West Virginia Railroad Tracks
A federal grand jury has indicted Clarence A. Thomas, Thomas G. Hamilton and C. Roby Meadows. According to the indictment, the three men traveled from Salyersville, Kentucky to Kermit, West Virginia (Mingo County) from July 2004 to November 2004, and stole sections of railroad track belonging to Norfolk Southern Railroad Company, costing the company $190,000 to replace it. Authorities say the men sold the track as scrap in Kentucky. They're charged with one count of conspiracy and two counts of interstate transportation of stolen goods.
