UPDATE: According to MetroNews, the former Harrison County Sheriff’s Deputy seen on camera in a road rage video incident last August in Morgantown will serve 90 days home confinement.

 

William Sothen, 64, of Salem, pleaded no contest to the charge of misdemeanor battery filed following the Aug. 28, 2017 incident where a cell phone video appears to show him bringing a woman, then 21-year-old Amber Generally, to the ground along Van Voorhis Road as traffic sped by in the afternoon.

 

“He probably got partially what he deserved,” said Generally. “I mean, I wanted him to do jail. But as far as like, for me, I’m glad he got 90 days cause it kind of works in my favor just because I have gone through a lot since August.”
