BEVERLY, W.Va. (WBOY) — A man was charged with multiple crimes after allegedly threatening to shoot two people at an apartment in Randolph County.

On May 2, troopers with the Randolph County detachment of the West Virginia State Police received a call of a man “pointing a firearm” on Main Street in Beverly, according to a criminal complaint.

When troopers arrived, they made contact with the victims who said that Justin Lewis, 35, of Beverly, “came into the apartment, pulled out a ‘big’ black in color handgun and pointed” it at them and said “he would shoot them both,” troopers said.

In a separate complaint, troopers said that they arrived at Lewis’ residence to serve a search warrant in connection to the previous incident.

During that search, troopers found a “cylindrical tube” containing 5.84 grams of methamphetamine, as well as small clear bags and a set of scales, troopers said.

Lewis has been charged with wanton endangerment and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. He is being held in Tygart Valley Regional Jail on $100,000 bond.
