Fight at bridge construction site leads to felony charge

Kile

RANDOLPH COUNTY – A Seneca Rocks man has been arrested after allegedly fighting with two men at a bridge construction site and breaking four bones in one of the men’s face.

Jarrod Tyson Kile, 45, has been charged with malicious wounding, a felony. He is being held in the Tygarts Valley Regional Jail on a $25,000 bond, set by Randolph County Magistrate Ben Shepler.

According to the criminal complaint, prepared by Deputy J. Wolfe of the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, at approximately 8 a.m. on Aug. 2, he was advised of a “victim of a fight” being at Davis Medical Center in Elkins.

The alleged victim told Wolfe that “while working construction at the Mikey Hart Bridge, along U.S. Route 48, in Randolph County, Jarrod Kile was fighting with another employee,” the complaint states. The alleged victim said he stepped in to try to separate the two men, and then Kile began fighting him, as well.

He told Wolfe that Kile and another man “got into an argument. Jarrod hit (the other man) two or three times. I tried to break it up and Jarrod hit me, too.”

The man who was first allegedly struck by Kile told Wolfe, “Jarrod Kile was upset at me for instructing him. He randomly punched me at least four times in the face. I have four broken bones in my face.”

If convicted of malicious wounding, Kile could face up to one to five years imprisonment.

Starting at $3.92/week.
