FAYETTE COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A Fayetteville man is facing felony charges in Fayette County. Chief Deputy Rodney Perdue II provides the following information regarding this incident.
At approximately 2:00 pm. on May 13, 2023, deputies responded to a complaint of a male attempting to gain entry into vehicles parked at the River access of Fayette Station Road. While deputies were en route, they received a second call from that location stating the same male had brandished a knife and had stabbed it into a vehicle several times, and threw a large rock at the vehicle. Upon arrival, the male fled from the deputies into the river. Deputies and assisting agencies were eventually able to get the male out of the water and detain him. While attempting to place the male into a police cruiser, he became combative, kicking and biting officers, and at one point tried to gain access to a deputy’s service weapon from their duty belt.
Charles B. Foreman, 49, of Fayetteville, is charged with the felony offenses of two counts of Felony Destruction of Property and Attempting to Disarm a Law Enforcement Officer. In addition, Foreman is charged with Brandishing a Deadly Weapon, Fleeing on Foot, Obstructing an Officer, and five counts of Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, all misdemeanors.
