Fayette resident pleads to grand larceny in copper theft

By Michelle James
Register-Herald Reporter

A Fayette County man pleaded guilty in Raleigh County Circuit Court Tuesday to grand larceny in the theft of copper from a Verizon substation.

Clinton Hall, 34, of Mossy, faces one to 10 years for the theft, which occurred Jan. 8, 2007.

Prosecutor Larry Frail said Hall’s plea stemmed from an incident during which Hall and Earnest Garrison cut through a fence at the Verizon station on Appalachian Drive in Beckley, stealing copper valued at approximately $3,000.

The copper was later sold at a junkyard.

Frail said both men claimed the theft was the other’s idea, but Hall told Judge H.L. Kirkpatrick that Garrison, acting alone, stole the copper and he then stole it from Garrison because Garrison owed him money.

Hall is currently serving two concurrent one-to-10-year sentences for grand larceny in Fayette County and defense attorney Jason Grubb said he would ask that the new sentence run concurrently as well.

Hall will be sentenced Oct. 3.
