Case Reopened

{Charleston, West Virginia}...A closed case in a fatal fight has been reopened. Kanawha County prosecutors said previously they know the person involved but were not filing any charges in the death of former Alcohol and Beverage Commissioner Robert Adkins. After further review, they now have decided to take the case to the grand jury. The beating happened St. Patricks Day along Seventh Avenue in South Charleston. Police say Adkins was flirting with another man's girlfriend, and he grabbed the woman's arm several times, even after being asked to stop. The men then got into a fight. Thirteen days later, Adkins died.
