(03/22/2007)
Daniel's Run resident Billy Ray Hardway will stand trial in Calhoun Circuit Court on a charge of a felon in possession of a gun, following a hearing this week in Grantsville.

Hardway (pictured left) was released from Central Regional Jail on a surety bond in order to seek medical treatment for cancer, he has recently had an eye removed.

Yesterday, the person on Hardway's bond, revoked the agreement, and Hardway was taken back to jail.

The case against Hardway for assault on DNR officer John Apgar is still pending, a magistrate referred the case to Circuit Court.

Hardway was shot in the shoulder by officer Apgar when he was attempting to serve warrants on the man last August.
