The Monongalia County Sheriff’s office in West Virginia is looking for a black man suspect and this news item ran this past Saturday.
Not to worry, the newspaper
The Dominion Post claimed it was the fault of a person and made this correction--
Due to a copy editor’s error, an item was published in The Dominion Post on Saturday without a full description of a suspect sought by the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Department in connection with stolen credit cards. The corrected item with the full description ran in the Sunday edition of The Dominion Post and was published on TheDPost.com late Saturday with three photographs.
The black mans
description is not vague at all and pictures are included...umm here he is one picture,
The Monongalia County Sheriff’s Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who may have information about stolen credit cards.
According to information provided by the sheriff’s department, the man is black, between 5-foot-8 and 6-feet tall and appears to be in his late 30s to mid 40s.
Oh no, facts again!
In related facts, The Dominion Post is published in Morgantown, WV, which is 89.7% white and 4.1% black.

“
You have no idea,” he told me. “I’ve been taking flak over that for two days now.”
The deputy says he stopped by the newspaper and dropped off a short news release with two photographs days ago. He says the person in the photos–a black man–isn’t a suspect in any case, but is someone authorities want to talk to about some credit card transactions. The department was hoping anyone with information about the man would call.
Has anyone seen a Black Man in West Virgina if so tell them to be careful because a black man did something.
