CHESTER, W.Va. The city has at least one police officer on the roster who is not afraid of a little horsepower.
Donnie Blankenship, who has been employed full-time as a patrolman in Chester for two years, came a little late to his law enforcement career compared to some.
He always wanted to be a police officer like his grandfather, who served briefly as Hancock County Sheriff, However, he didn’t pursue that dream until several years ago.
