A trial was planned for Warren Todd Wade, 46, of HC 68 Box 21, Wileyville, for July 6, however new information on possible federal charges have put the trial on hold. Following his hearing in Wetzel County Circuit Court, Wade was remanded to the Northern Regional Jail. Judge Mark A. Karl set a return date for Friday at 10 a.m.

During the hearing last Wednesday Wade’s attorney, Kevin Neiswonger, filed a motion to continue, stating he did not want Wade to consider taking a plea bargain until the scope of the federal charge issue was determined. Wetzel County Prosecuting Attorney Timothy Haught resisted the motion, but Judge Karl noted that such action was needed in order for Wade to be fully advised on the matter.
