Although the COVID-19 pandemic has made it harder for a Greenbrier County Grand Jury to meet, that’s exactly what it did last week, bringing over 140 charges against 40 individuals.
New escape charges have been brought against Kip Sears, who was placed in home confinement on bond for his alleged involvement with a shooting on Brush Road in January 2020, resulting in one victim being flown to Virginia in order to receive emergency medical care.
A majority of the charges relate to theft, including fraudulent credit card use, burglary, grand larceny, in addition to a high number of charges emerging from lying on official documents (uttering, forgery).
