CHARGES AGAINST EX-DELEGATE DELAYED

Warrant charges against a former state lawmaker accused of harassing striking United Mine Workers members have been postponed until September, said Buchanan County General District Court officials.

The warrant charges that Don McGlothlin, a former House of Delegates member, cursed and used abusive language during a confrontation with striking UMW members July 13.

The court likely will wait until Sept. 10 to rule on the merits of the warrant. The hearing had been set for today.

Several United Mine Workers members who were demonstrating at the Buchanan Courthouse claim McGlothlin swore at them. They also claim the former lawmaker tried to hit one union member with his car.

McGlothlin lost last November's election to union leader Jackie Stump.
