Sharing the docket was Wesley J. Bigler, 34, of Rd. 2, Box 255, New Martinsville, charged with the felony offense of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver by unlawfully possessing marijuana to have occurred in February.

“I have spoken with Mr. Bigler and Mr. (F.M. Dean) Rohrig (prosecuting attorney) and there doesn’t appear to be anything worked out,” Hart said.

The defense had announced at Bigler’s April 8 hearing that a plea agreement would be reached by this appearance.

Bigler was ordered to return June 2 at 10 a.m. for continued disposition. Bond was continued.

Rohrig told Karl the plea was a matter of one issue at this point.
