A 49-year-old Beckley man who allegedly stabbed his wife multiple times in their home in October was one of 102 defendants indicted this week by a Raleigh County grand jury.
Ronald Keith Legg is charged with attempted first-degree murder and malicious wounding in the Oct. 21 incident. Legg fled the scene and was apprehended several days later.
Also indicted was 34-year-old Thomas Anthony McComas of Conover, N.C., who is charged with fleeing under the influence of alcohol as well as driving under the influence of alcohol causing death.
