• {West Virginia}...Thirty-four year old William H. "Billy" Samples Jr. was arrested Wednesday evening after St. Albans Police say he had a .40-caliber gun in the parking lot at Hayes Middle School. St. Albans Police Capt. James Agee says police were dispatched to a complaint at Hayes Middle School about 8:00 P.M. where a man said his car had been keyed while at a football practice by another man, identified as Samples. The complainant told police that when Samples walked away, he lifted his shirt and a handgun could be seen. The complainant then said the suspect walked behind the school to the football field where the practice was under way. Officers approached Samples as he was standing near the field where a large number of kids were practicing. Police asked Samples if he had a gun, and he replied "yes."  Officers seized the weapon and arrested Samples.
