LEWISBURG, W.Va. — A member of the Greenbrier County Commission told the Beckley Register-Herald Friday he’s committed no crimes in connection with information he copied from a computer hard drive from the Greenbrier Valley Airport.
Commissioner Mike McClung was charged in a prosecutor’s information earlier this week with three misdemeanor criminal counts focused on obtaining and copying information without authorization. McClung has admitted taking the information on Aug. 23, copying it and putting it back.
McClung previously told the newspaper said the information he obtained was potential evidence for an investigation of airport officials. He said he copied the information and returned it. He said he didn’t tamper with it.
McClung told the newspaper Friday part of his responsibilities as a county commissioner is to turn over evidence of wrongdoing.
