CHARLES TOWN — A Jefferson County grand jury wrapped up its spring session on Thursday, releasing a list of 28 people indicted.
Among those indicted was Prinsea Rolanda Star Hill, a former aide at C.W. Shipley, who has been indicted for allegedly hitting a child with a disability at the school. If found guilty, she could face between one and five years in prison.
According to a statement from Jefferson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Chuck Bishop, the investigation began after a staff member saw Hill hit a disabled child and then reported it to school administration and law enforcement. She was put on leave, pending the outcome of the investigation, before being fired on April 8.
“I want to thank the staff and administration at C.W. Shipley for immediately doing the right thing and reporting what they saw,” Bishop wrote. “It takes all of us to provide our students with the safest learning environment we can.”
Also included in the list was David Bernhard Gills, 18, of Leetown, who was arrested after firing a gun at Sgt. Vincent Tiong, of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department, hitting the door of his cruiser.
Gills has been indicted on 25 different charges, including attempted first-degree murder.
“I thank God that Sgt. Tiong came out of the life-threatening incident unscathed,” Jefferson County Sheriff Tom Hansen said. “Sgt. Tiong showed the utmost professionalism in how he handled events from the onset. While being shot at, he was not only able to keep his wits about him but was able to transmit all the vital information needed to begin the manhunt but kept bystanders’ safety in consideration by not returning fire as there was passing traffic.”
