I'm thankful that the plan was discovered before something could've happened! I live near this area, and an escaped inmate is a scary situation.

I see that WSAZ is a little selective when it comes to posting comments. When someone takes a stab at WSAZ it's not allowed to be posted. I understand, I just hope you all fix the problem of people stabbing each other on here and writing stuff that has nothing to do with the story. This is like topix.com if you all don't clean it up.
