BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia judge has revoked the bond for a man charged with trespassing at a Raleigh County mine and providing false information to police regarding three co-conspirators.
News media outlets report 43-year-old Eddie Williams of Artie was indicted in May on charges that he illegally entered an Alpha Resources Mine in January 2018 and had stolen more than $1,000 worth of copper wire. A judge had granted a $50,000 bond on those charges.
Conditions placed on the bail required Williams not be charged with additional crimes.
