FAYETTE COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – An Oak Hill man is facing felony charges in Fayette County.
Sheriff Mike Fridley says that just before midnight on April 14, 2024, deputies were at a local gas station when they noticed a male in a vehicle known to have felony warrants. The deputies then caught up with the vehicle and performed a traffic stop, where they took the male into custody for those warrants. A local towing agency towed the vehicle.
When the towing agency attempted to inventory the vehicle, they did locate a firearm and notified deputies. The vehicle was moved into secure storage while deputies obtained a search warrant. Deputies executed that search warrant this morning, April 15, 2024, where they located a firearm, as well as numerous different baggies containing what is believed to be methamphetamines.
Jeffrey S Maynard, 36, of Oak Hill, was charged with the felony offenses of Possession with Intent to Deliver Controlled Substances, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and Conspiracy. Maynard will now await further court proceedings.
