Eighteen-year-old James Adkins of Spencer is one of two individuals charged in
the stealing of the West Virginia State Police detachment signs in Spencer.
Adkins and 19-year-old Carl Santamaria of Martinsburg were arraigned yesterday
in Roane County Magistrate Court.
The West Virginia Wesleyan College students have been charged with petit
larceny, according to Trooper Fred Hammack.
Hammack says the signs were found in the students' dorm rooms. He would not
say what led police to the signs, which had not been replaced since they were
taken during the county's Black Walnut Festival last October.
They are being returned to the local barracks on Bower's Hill along US 33 east of
Spencer.
The Grantsville detachment signs was stolen last year, with the individuals
arrested and the sign returned.
