{Reedy, West Virginia}...Thirty year old Michael Smith of Reedy was charged Friday with throwing his girlfriend over a Roane County bridge. Smith, already on house arrest for drug charges, was taken to jail last Sunday for violating home confinement orders. According to the criminal complaint, Smith followed 23 year old Brandi Shaw to a bridge on Middle Fork Road, where the two fought before Smith took hold of her bag and jerked her, then shoved her over the side of the bridge. Smith then allegedly told Shaw she had to say "I Love You" before being helped out of the shallow water. Shaw had injuries to her face and spine. The Roane County Sheriff's Department did not charge Smith until Friday because deputies were awaiting medical results and statements from doctors.
