West Virginia State Trooper Honored
WEST VIRGINIA....
The West Virginia Association for Justice has presented its 2010 law enforcement award to West Virginia State Police Trooper Cpl. Dennis L. Cayton of Weston, recognizing him for his persistence in solving a murder case. Thirty-two year old Shawn Stewart of Walkersville was killed by a shotgun blast that struck his face. Cayton investigated the shooting death of Stewart which occurred in April 2009, and concluded that the hunter's shooter approached the victim, then left the scene without assisting him. Robert L. Tobias, 59, of Millersburg, Pennsylvania was convicted as the killer and is serving a prison term. In presenting the award, the association cited Cayton's "diligence and tenacity."
