HURRICANE – A large homecoming crowd turned out in Hurricane Friday night to watch the Redskins defeat the Ripley Vikings by a score of 210. Defense was key on the evening for both teams, as the first quarter featured a number of three-and-out drives and punts by both squads. The second quarter opened with Ripley deep in its own territory after Hurricane failed to score on a fourth and goal play. Viking quarterback Jake Martin tossed an interception to Hurricane's Jesse Barker who brought the ball to Ripley's 5yard line. Hurricane's Zach Pate punched the ball into the endzone, giving the Redskins a 7-0 lead – a score that stood until halftime. In the third quarter, Redskins quarterback Austin Hensley connected with receiver Koi Turner for a 28-yard touchdown pass that made the score 14-0.

Putnam woman files civil suit after police incident By Lawrence Smith www.wvrecord.com
HUNTINGTON – A Putnam County woman is accusing a Hurricane police officer of falsely arresting her. Officer L.M. Angell is named as a defendant in a civil rights suit filed by Lena Qualls in U.S. District Court. In her complaint filed
Sept. 26, Qualls, 55, of Hurricane, alleges following a verbal altercation two years ago, Angell arrested her on what is commonly called a contempt-of-cop charge. According to the suit, Angell came to Qualls’ house on Sept. 29, 2010 “without probable cause and without a warrant of entry or arrest.” Shortly after arrival, Angell “had physical contact with
[Qualls] and pushed and knocked [her] to the ground, all because she was expressing her opinions of his actions and other matters and all of which was without probable cause or provocation, and without any resistance whatsoever.” Afterward, Angell arrested Qualls, and charged her with obstructing, and battery on a police
officer, both misdemeanors. Though Magistrate Kylene Dunlap Brown found her guilty at a Feb. 25, 2011 bench trial, Judge O.C. “Hobby” Spaulding found her not guilty three months later following her appeal to circuit court. Along with excessive force, SEE SUIT ON PAGE 3
