Project Period makes feminine products more accessible

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — The United Way of the River Cities gathered thousands of feminine products for women and girls for Project Period Monday.

Many women struggle to buy feminine hygiene products because they don’t have the money for it, but thanks to community support, the organization collected more than 38,000 feminine products, creating 800 one-month supply kits to be distributed to counties in Ohio and West Virginia.

“More people than you would think are going without them every month, and they are missing work, doctor’s appointments, school and are having to basically stay at home and sometimes even rely on things like lick towels to get through. You know, and this happens once a month,” Community Impact Coordinator Stacy Norman said.

Other items like canvas pouches and gallon bags were donated as well, and Aetna Better Health donated hundreds of wipes, toothbrushes and floss for the kits.

Bond reduction request denied for Charleston man accused of shooting at neighbor, deputies

VIDEO: Man who allegedly shot at neighbor, Kanawha County deputies identified

KANAWHA COUNTY, WV (WOWK) — A man accused of shooting at his neighbor and then at deputies earlier this month had his bond reduction request denied Monday afternoon.

Chase Nelson, 32, of Charleston is being held in the South Central Regional Jail on a $250,000 cash-only bond, the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation website shows.

Nelson’s case will now go to the grand jury and the circuit court can deal with bond adjustments.

According to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office, Nelson shot at his neighbor around three times on June 7. They said Nelson lived on McCubbin Drive, which is adjacent to Coonskin Drive.

Deputies took cover behind a building and heard Nelson say a phrase at which point he shot twice toward the deputies, the criminal complaint said. The deputies were escorted to safety with an armored vehicle, according to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office.

With the help of SWAT Team Operators and the armored vehicle, Nelson was taken into custody. No injuries are being reported, according to the sheriff’s office.
