82-YEAR-OLD MCDOWELL MAN FACING DRUG CHARGES - Oldest Drug Offender Likely 87-Year-Old Calhoun Man

(09/14/2015)

Media accounts in southern WV say that George Washington Harmon, 82, of Anawalt, may be the oldest person arrested on drug charges in West Virginia. He and and a relative were arrested last week for delivery of a controlled substance. That record could be held by Orma resident, Edward Barrera, 87, now deceased. In 2010, Barrera was arrested in Jackson County with one-and-one-half pounds of marijuana. Barrera was involved with raising dogs for dog fighting. A native of Spain and former employee of IBM, he was found dead at his Orma residence, with 32 dogs on his property. Investigators discovered Barrera was a well-known figure related to dog fighting around the USA.
