Marion County Prosecutor To Handle Police Case
WEST VIRGINIA....
Marion County Prosecutor Pat Wilson will handle the case of Shinnston police officer 30 year old David Matheny of Grafton who's accused of felony counterfeiting for allegedly using a fake $100 bill at a gas station in April. Matheny told police he didn’t know the bill was fake, but a criminal complaint says the serial number matched one from a counterfeit bill Matheny had recovered from a Shinnston business while on duty. Harrison County Prosecutor Joe Shaffer stepped aside because Matheny was the arresting officer in cases pending in his office. Matheny, also a member of the Harrison County Street Crimes and Drug Unit, has been suspended with pay and faces two to 10 years in prison if convicted.
