Mingo County family judge to be sworn in Oct. 27


An October 27th swearing-in ceremony is set for Mingo County's new family court judge.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin appointed Sabrina L. Deskins to the position on Sept. 17.

The West Virginia Supreme Court says the swearing-in ceremony will be held at noon on October 27th in the main courtroom of the Mingo County Courthouse in Williamson.

Deskins will complete the remainder of Miki Thompson's term. Tomblin appointed Thompson in July to replace former Mingo County Circuit Court Judge Michael Thornsbury.


Thornsbury resigned and pleaded guilty in October 2013 to a federal conspiracy charge stemming from a corruption probe.
