Mingo Man Facing Several Charges


A Mingo County man is facing 14 charges after West Virginia State Police say he fired shots and rammed a police cruiser, all while on drugs.

State Police were called to the home of 54-year-old Terry Huff in Varney, West Virginia for a domestic disturbance.

Huff's wife said he physically assaulted her by pulling her hair and holding broken glass to her throat.

When police arrived, they say Huff barricaded himself inside his home and fired a shot.
Huff then got in his car and rammed a police car as he was leaving, causing over $2,500 in damage.

Police continued to ask Huff to surrender, but he fired another shot into the air.

Police were eventually able to arrest Huff and determined he was wearing body armor.

Huff is being held in the Southwestern Regional Jail on a $13,500 bond. He is facing numerous charges including obstruction, brandishing a weapon, domestic assault, domestic battery, DUI, and felony destruction of property.
