Son of Supreme Court justice arrested after allegedly beating sister
By Rusty Marks, Staff writer

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The son of Supreme Court Justice Margaret Workman turned himself in to Charleston police this morning on a charge of allegedly beating his sister and leaving her bleeding in a Kanawha City ditch late Tuesday.

Edward Gardner, 27, of Quarry Creek in Charleston, is charged with malicious wounding for allegedly beating his sister and leaving her lying in a ditch along Quarry Creek Road, according to Sgt. Tony Hazelett of the Charleston Police Department.

Hazelett said Edward Gardner apparently got into an argument with his sister, Lindsay Gardner, 30, of Charleston while driving in a car in Kanawha City at around 9:45 p.m. Tuesday. Edward Gardner allegedly stopped the car in the 300 block of Quarry Creek Road off Chesterfield Avenue, where the argument continued, Hazelett said.

Witnesses told police they heard a man screaming and a woman crying before Edward Gardner allegedly kicked his sister out of the car and began beating her alongside the road. Edward Gardner allegedly kicked his sister’s head against the pavement three times, Hazelett said. - See more at: http://www.wvgazette.com/article/20140806/GZ01/140809569/1419#sthash.EAStUpLL.dpuf
