HARMAN - A Harman man has been charged with first degree murder in the death of a Ward Road man earlier this week.
Dallas Ray Bryant, 69, was charged Friday in the death of Preston L. "Patch" Higgins. He is being held in Tygart Valley Regional Jail without bond.
West Virginia State Police found Higgins in his driveway Monday with a gunshot wound to his chest, along with a bruise/abrasion to his forehead.
In a release Saturday, State Police said crime scene evidence and witness information led them to consider Bryant a person of interest in the case.
Higgins was known throughout the Elkins area, and was a former employee with the City of Elkins, working as a custodian at City Hall and for the Street Department.
