HUNTINGTON â The city of Huntington filed an amended complaint Friday against owners of a 10th Avenue property that was the site of a double homicide last year.
The amended complaint adds Albert Cremeans to the lawsuit the city had against Gary Stanley to seek a permanent injunction against the property located at 2005 10th Ave.
The property is formally known as Garyâs Place and was declared a public nuisance by the City Council in 2017 due to violent crimes associated with the business. The building was put up for sale but was not sold.
In that time, Stanley leased the building to two other tenants who opened illegal bars. In 2020, a double homicide occurred at the property, which was at least the third homicide at the location in the past decade.
HUNTINGTON â The West Virginia Supreme Court has upheld a Cabell judgeâs ruling stating retired Huntington firefightersâ health insurance was not improperly changed under changes made to the insurance in 2017.
The lawsuit was filed by Herschel Marshall in 2017 against the city of Huntington, who argued the city shouldnât have changed retiree health insurance benefits without the opportunity to renegotiate them. About 70 to 80 additional retired firefighters joined in the suit after the city filed a counterclaim. They were added so the city would not have to deal with similar lawsuits.
The lawsuit said the change was made in breach of a contract because it altered a 1999 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that was in force when Marshall retired in August 2000.
