Lunsford Ordered To Drug Counseling

  • {Elkins, West Virginia}...U.S. Magistrate John Kaull has ordered that Lena Lunsford must live apart from her husband and submit to drug counseling while awaiting trial on federal welfare fraud charges. Federal prosecutors accuse Lunsford of violating the terms of her release by being caught in possession of bath salts on November 1st in Clarksburg. But her husband, Ralph, testified Monday in Elkins that the drugs were his and she didn't know about them. Kaull ruled Lena Lunsford did violate a condition that had required her to report any interaction with police, but he denied a request for home incarceration. Lunsford will be living with her mother in Walkersville.
