GILBERT, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Three individuals are facing charges after allegedly attacking a man outside a Speedway gas station in Gilbert on January 21, 2025.
According to police, Ethan Wiles, Willie Crigger, and Cheyenne Bradford conspired to assault Daniel Blankenship, traveling to the location with the intent to cause bodily harm.
Upon arrival, Crigger and Wiles exited a white SUV and engaged in a physical altercation with Blankenship. Crigger reportedly struck the victim in the face and head, while Wiles allegedly used brass knuckles, causing a laceration to the back of Blankenship’s head.
