A former Glenville State College librarian has been fined $400 and court costs after
he was accused of secretly tape recording a fellow worker at the college.
A trial was averted after Edward "Ed" Messenger entered into a plea arrangement
and the charges were reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor.
A campus security guard discovered a recording device above the ceiling tiles in
Robert F. Kidd Library in October, 2001. Messenger was accused of recording the
conversations of Eileen Dixon without her knowledge, a long-time secretary to the
library.
Messenger is currently the ambulance authority manager in Gilmer County.
