Suspects charged after double prison beating - WVVA TV Bluefield Beckley WV News, Weather and Sports

An update of sorts to this story posted back in April.

The man accused of beating another prisoner from Southern Regional Jail waives his preliminary hearing.

Mercer County deputies say 41-year-old Bradford Spencer, along with another inmate named Shannon Comer, beat 56-year-old James Irvin with their handcuffs while they were in a cell together. Spencer waived his preliminary hearing Thursday.

Spencer and Comer are each charged with unlawful wounding and conspiracy.

If you recall, Irvin faces multiple child sex charges after police say he claimed to be a warlock in order to assault young girls. Deputies say the two other inmates wanted to hurt Irvin because of his crimes, and he needed several staples after cuts on his head after the attack.
