Yesterday evening, May 25, 2020, Deputies were dispatched to Max Drive in Elkview for a stabbing. An adult female, Rebecca Linville, was found laying on her back with cuts to her left arm. She said Jeramie Adkins, 46 years old of Marmet, WV, attacked her.
Ms. Linville was taken to an area hospital for treatment to her injuries, which were not deemed life-threatening. Mr. Adkins was found nearby on the riverbank and arrested, charged with malicious wounding, a felony.
As is always the case in criminal matters, the charge against Mr. Adkins is merely an accusation. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. The investigation into the matter continues.
