{Milton, West Virginia}...Edward Perry, a vendor at the Milton Flea Market, was in court Friday, where he identified 31 year old Brett Allen Newman as the man who robbed him at gunpoint and shot him three times about 8:00 A.M. on March 16th as he arrived for work at his shop, Perry's Coin & Jewelry Repair. Perry testified that he was preparing to enter the flea market when Newman approached from around the building's side, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, pointed a handgun at his face and ordered him to the ground. Perry testified he believes that gunman then was joined by an accomplice, and the two sat on him and bound his wrists with plastic tie straps. A few moments later, there was a shot, and Perry says he went down. The bullet had struck Perry in the right leg. That testimony was enough for Cabell County Magistrate Johnny McCallister to keep Newman behind bars on a $755,000 bond and send his case to a grand jury.
