WILLIAMSON — A Logan County attorney was charged with impersonation of an officer and possession with intent to deliver, among other offenses, after a car accident that occurred last month.
Mark Edward Hobbs, 69, was also charged with driving under the influence and conspiracy.
An accident occurred May 30 in Mingo County and officers discovered a pill and a powdery substance on the center console and dashboard when they inspected the vehicle, the criminal complaint states.
