CLARKSBURG, W.Va. – A Clarksburg man has been charged with neglect after failing to report injuries to a child following a November 2022 accident.
Clarksburg police said on Nov. 17 Jacob Pinion, 30, struck a light pole and two Waste Management cans in the 300 block of West Pike Street with a child in his vehicle.
