October Court Date Set In Mathews County Supervisor Case

The court case involving charges of assault and battery, disorderly conduct, and abusive language filed against Mathews County supervisor Mike Walls by board of supervisors’ candidate Billy Cook has been moved to Monday October 23rd at 1pm. The Gazette Journal reports, according to Commonwealth’s Attorney Nate Green of James City County/Williamsburg, who was appointed by Judge Jeffrey W. Shaw in May as special prosecutor for the case, the two parties had reached an agreement on the case, so Green dismissed the witnesses. After the witnesses had been dismissed, Walls changed his mind on the agreement, said Green, so the case had to be continued. The judge also continued a protective order that had been issued against Walls to that date.
