EX-COAL WORKER LAUNDERED MONEY

A former Consolidation Coal Co. employee from West Virginia has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for his role in a money-laundering scheme.

James L. Beverly, 66, of Brenton, W.Va., was charged in a 15-count indictment that sought forfeiture of a car and more than $10,000.

The indictment was dismissed Thursday under a plea agreement.

Beverly is a former regional maintenance manager for Consolidation's Southern Appalachian Region in Bluefield.

Federal officials charged that he caused false bills to be mailed from Abbs Valley Electric Co. of Bluefield to Consolidation, and that he got in return loan payments on a Lincoln Town Car. - Associated Press
