May 29--The former Nicholas County 911 director was arrested Monday for alleged credit card fraud.
According to a release from West Virginia State Police Public Information Officer Lt. Michael Baylous, 42-year-old Craigsville resident Carla Hennessey was taken into custody on one count of fraudulent schemes. It is alleged that Hennessey used a Nicholas County credit card for personal gain totaling $1,735.

Hennessey was arraigned in Nicholas County Magistrate Court and released on $5,000 bond.
