RONCEVERTE, W.Va. — Three former leaders of the Ronceverte Volunteer Fire Department have been charged with embezzling from the department.

A Greenbrier County grand jury indicted former chief Jody Anderson Campbell, former assistant chief and treasurer William Darrell Miller and former president and secretary Michael Kevin Brammer last week.

Each man is charged with one count of embezzlement of $1,000 or more and conspiracy to commit embezzlement.

The defendants are accused of diverting the department’s money to personal use.
