RONCEVERTE, W.Va. (WVDN) – A Ronceverte man is behind bars after a K-9 officer discovered drugs in his vehicle.
On Friday, March 17, Greenbrier County Sheriff’s deputies conducted a traffic stop on Timothy Delno Keen, 49, on Coffman Hill Road in the Ronceverte area of Greenbrier County, according to a release from the Greenbrier County Sheriff’s Office.
