Three West Virginia men arrested for allegedly burning the plastic coating off copper wires were among those indicted last week by a Lawrence County Grand Jury.

Brian C. Hatcher, 22, of Hurricane, was indicted on charges of receiving stolen property, open burning and prohibited acts. Michael Graybeal III, 24, of Huntington, was indicted on the same charges as well as charges of theft and possession of drug paraphernalia.

A third man, Christopher Collins, 27, of Ona, was indicted on charges of receiving stolen property, open burning, prohibited acts and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In late August, Lawrence County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the 7400 block County Road 107, Proctorville, to investigate reports of smoke and open burning. Deputies allegedly found the three men burning the coating off copper cables.
