The man charged with causing severe damage to a WVU wrestler’s face by throwing a beer bottle last month waived his preliminary hearing Monday.
Samuel Heavey, 22, of Marion, Mass. was arrested last month and charged with malicious wounding. Police say Heavey threw a beer bottle that hit Christian Chirico, 20, in the face.
Chirico received 38 stitches and had serious injuries to his face. He’s since been recovering.
The incident started as a snowball fight on High Street that may have escalated.
Heavey’s case now moves forward to the grand jury.
