Nitro appoints new municipal judge

NITRO -- Richard Walters was sworn in as Nitro's municipal court judge during a city council meeting on Oct. 19.

Walters, a partner with Miller, Weiler and Walters, a small firm in Charleston, was sworn in by Taylor, who recently announced he was stepping down after five years due to increasingly large caseload from his private practice.

Walters said he is looking forward to serving the city of Nitro and hopes to serve the city as well as Taylor did during his time as judge.
