Kanawha County sheriff’s deputies say they arrested a fugitive from Georgia who was carrying a gun and marijuana.
Terry W. Kirby, 56, of Convington, Ga., was arrested at 1:30 p.m. Thursday at 286 Campbells Creek Drive, according to a news release from the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department.
Kirby was wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service for violation of federal probation, deputies said. Deputies received a tip to search the area for a vehicle with Georgia registration and that the suspect driving the vehicle had been brandishing a firearm.
