Police Say Beatings May Be Group Related
WEST VIRGINIA....
Charleston police say the brutal beating that left Jeff Moore in an alley off Fife Street in Charleston may not have been an isolated attack. They believe several other robberies and attacks in the same part of the city may have connections, and they may have been committed by a group of people. On the same night Moore was robbed and beaten, Adam Melton was jumped an hour earlier in front of the main Charleston post office on Lee Street, a few blocks from where Moore was found, but he was not severely injured. Police arrested a 16-year-old in that attack. They have also arrested Todd Woodson and George Hatcher for the attack of Ken Napier which occurred outside of Taylor Books in Charleston about two weeks earlier.
