Suspect arrested in state post office killing

Associated Press

DALLAS, W.Va. Police arrested a man Friday after they said he shot and killed a post master at the Dallas Post Office.

Marshall County Sheriff John Gruzinskas said Post Master Lua Wolverton, 35, was wounded twice with shotgun blasts shortly before 3 p.m., but was able to call 911 to identify and describe her attacker.

State Police Sgt. J.A. Laing said Wolverton later died at Ruby Memorial Hospital.

Todd Dolin Jr., 39, was arrested by police in Zanesville, Ohio, and transferred to a hospital in that state for observation, Laing said.

Laing said police plan to charge Dolin in Ohio as a fugitive from justice and secure his extradition to West Virginia to face murder charges.

The shotgun was left at the scene, Gruzinskas said. Dolin lives in the Moundsville area.

Gruzinskas said Dolin and the victim had “a familiar relationship,” but he declined to elaborate. Because the shooting occurred on federal property, postal inspectors will lead the investigation.

Dallas is an unincorporated community less than a half-mile from the Pennsylvania state line, 32 miles northeast of Moundsville.
