Man Pleads Not Guilty To Grand Larceny

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Andrew Lynn Palmer, 45, of Sissonville, the man who once hosted a local television show called "West Virginia's Most Wanted," has been arraigned in Kanawha Circuit Court on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle and grand larceny. Palmer pleaded not guilty to those charges and will go on trial October 31st. Palmer is accused of having in his possession two vehicles belonging to a car dealership. Police say Palmer was armed and threatened to shoot officers who apprehended him in the Cabin Creek area in May, but he was not indicted on a weapons charge even though he is not permitted to have guns because of his prior criminal history. Last month, Judge Tod Kaufman refused to lower a $50,000 cash bond for Palmer. Prosecutors objected to a lower bond again Thursday, but Kaufman said he will hear arguments again September 19th.
