PARKERSBURG - After a week of deliberations, the Wood County grand jury returned indictments Friday for the January court term.
Wood County Prosecutor Jason Wharton said 63 individuals were indicted by the panel.
Among those indicted were:
Bryce Eugene Barnes, 19, 2293 Williamstown Pike, Williamstown, delivery of a controlled substance and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. Barnes was indicted in connection with a Jan. 5 arrest on charges of delivery of a controlled substance and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. Agents with the Parkersburg Narcotics Task Force stopped Barnes in the parking lot of Ryan's Steak House in south Parkersburg after receiving information he was selling drugs.
Barnes also faces charges of carrying a concealed weapon in Washington County from December. He was also involved in a September incident where six individuals broke into his apartment in Mineral Wells. Police allege he fatally shot 19-year-old Chris Dickel. He has not been charged in the incident.
Scott James Feathers, 54, 218 Gihon Village, Parkersburg, on delivery of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Feathers, an area podiatrist, allegedly sold Hydrocodone to a confidential informant in October 2009 at his practice and residence, according to the criminal complaint filed in magistrate court.
Jaymason Mikale Robinson, 28, and Rodney Walters Jr., 27, both in custody at the North Central Regional Jail, were named as codefendants on two counts of concealment of a deceased human body. Robinson was also charged with two counts of murder. Walters was also indicted on a charge of third-degree arson. Robinson was charged in a second indictment on four counts of delivery of a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Robinson was charged with two murders at 1109 Pike St., Parkersburg, in September and hiding the bodies.
Prosecutors allege Robinson used a firearm in the shooting of two men and that he was out on bond after he was arrested and charged in May 2009 with delivery of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Walters was charged with assisting Robinson with removing two bodies from a residence at 1109 Pike St to a remote location in Wood County.
