BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.Va. — Police in Morgan County charged a Berkeley Springs man with murder Tuesday following a stabbing.

The Morgan County Sheriff’s Department arrested Wesley Andrew McCoy, 24, following a fight with Justin Harold Buell, 32, at a residence along South Washington Street near U.S. Route 522.
