FAYETTE COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A Scarbro man was sentenced to prison Monday following a domestic violence incident that left a woman with serious injuries, according to the Fayette County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
Prosecuting Attorney Anthony Ciliberti Jr. announced that on Feb. 9, 2026, Circuit Judge Thomas K. Fast sentenced 46-year-old Robert A. Hull to one to five years in prison for felony unlawful assault and one year in jail for misdemeanor second-offense domestic battery.
The sentences were ordered to run consecutively, requiring Hull to serve a minimum of one year and six months before becoming eligible for parole.
Hull pleaded guilty to both charges on Dec. 17, 2025.
The charges stem from an incident on Feb. 16, 2025, when police were dispatched to Forsythia Lane in Charlton Heights following a reported domestic disturbance. Investigators determined Hull physically attacked his estranged wife and ripped a necklace from her neck.
Officers observed visible injuries, and the victim later received medical treatment, which revealed she had suffered broken ribs during the assault.
Authorities said the victim fled to a neighbor’s home to call for help.
Hull had a prior domestic battery conviction involving the same victim in August 2020 in Kanawha County.
The case was investigated by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department and prosecuted by Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jennifer D. Crane.
