Grand Jury Declines To Indict State Trooper
WEST VIRGINIA....
A Wirt County grand jury has declined to indict West Virginia State Police trooper Cpl. D.P. Starcher who fatally shot 45 year old Joseph Dennis Harrison outside the State Police barracks in Elizabeth on August 11th. Sgt. E.E. Ashcraft testified before the jury that Harrison had kidnapped a UPS driver and forced him to travel to the detachment and then fired a rifle at the unoccupied building. Starcher and Wirt County Sheriff D.K. Wilson responded, and Harrison was shot after he pointed the rifle in the sheriff's direction.
