Protective order hearing involving Raleigh County Prosecutor reaches conclusion

BECKLEY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Representation for Raleigh County Prosecutor, Ben Hatfield and the petitioner of a Domestic Violence Protective order against Hatfield convened at the Raleigh County Judicial Center on Monday for a hearing regarding the aforementioned order

Proceedings got underway during the morning hours, with multiple individuals entering and exiting the courtroom during the lengthy hearing. A recess for the proceedings was called at around noon, with the hearing ultimately coming to a close at around 4:00pm on Monday.
