MOUNDSVILLE A woman is suing Walmart after she fell and was injured while on the store s property.
Frances Donahue was at the Walmart store in Moundsville on Sept. 23 and was visiting the hair salon inside the store when she leaned against the accordion-style doors while she was waiting to get her hair done and the doors collapsed, causing her to fall to the floor and suffer injuries, according to a complaint filed in Marshall Circuit Court.
Donahue claims Walmart owed a duty to her and other business invitees to maintain its stores in a reasonably safe manner and failed to do so, which caused her to be exposed to unnecessary risk and caused her injuries. She claims if the doors had been properly maintained and secured, she would not have been injured.

MOUNDSVILLE A man who faced decades behind bars is a free man after the court found that the prosecution followed improper procedure in his indictment.
Michael Daniel “Dan” Bowman, now 41, was initially convicted in July 2017 of sexual abuse by a custodian, sexual assault, and three counts of first-degree sexual abuse, with his sentences running consecutively for a sentence of 28 to 70 years. His case was heard by Judge Jeff Cramer and prosecuted by Rhonda Wade, who has since retired as Marshall County’s prosecutor. She now serves as an assistant prosecutor. Wade was not available for comment.

Andrew Dally was also named as a defendant in the suit.
Justin Crabtree was employed by Jenmar as a laborer for the Marshall County Mine and had no prior underground mining experience so he needed to be supervised at all times by a mine foreman, according to a complaint filed in Marshall Circuit Court.
Crabtree claims he was assigned a task on April 11, 2019, for which he was not provided task training and was not being properly supervised, which violated the state s mandatory mine safety rules.
While performing the task, Crabtree was struck in the chest, knocked unconscious and suffered severe and permanent injuries, according to the suit. Crabtree claims his medical care cost $92,647.38.
