RIPLEY, W.Va. (WOWK) — A Ripley woman was arrested following an investigation into “a social media recruitment of individuals to pursue and assassinate President Trump,” a Sunday Facebook post from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said.

Sheriff Ross Mellinger said in the post that Morgan L. Morrow, 39, of Ripley, was arrested and transported to South Central Regional Jail as part of the investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and the Jackson County Bureau of Investigations.

According to the criminal complaint, Morrow is charged with one count of threats of terroristic acts.

The criminal complaint filed in Jackson County Magistrate Court says that on Jan. 25, 2026, deputies learned of an alleged threat of violence “directed toward an unknown individual, which was believed to be a public official.”

“When you saddle up on the horse of stupidity, you have to be prepared for the ride that follows,” Mellinger said. “We’re just trying to do our part in making sure that it’s not acted upon, and there’s no one that’s following her footsteps to try to carry out the plan.”

No ... she does NOT look like West Virginia.

What does YOUR State look like?

Oh ... you mean she's fat and ugly? Sort of like "Florida Woman"?

Fat on the brain causes cognitive mental problems. Fact.

She’s just another AWFUL...

Excessive body fat, particularly visceral belly fat, is strongly linked to cognitive decline and mental health issues, driven by chronic inflammation and reduced brain volume. This, often called “brain fog” or accelerated cognitive aging, is caused by inflammatory signals from fat tissue entering the brain, damaging cells and impairing memory andexecutive functions.

They just can’t keep their mouths shut can they? This is like wetting a piece of wood you’re sanding to make the fibers stand up so you can sand them down.

Same in Oregon. Three counties dictate the entire state.

Those four counties in the northeast are still majority republican ... just not as strongly so as the rest of the State. You have to drill down to the precinct level to find "blue": around Shepherd University, around West Virginia University, and around the State capitol.

Three counties dictate the entire state.

Seems a lot of States are like that.

There’s lots of hollers up in the hills that hardly nobody ever goes ... even the buzzards have trouble seeing ‘em.

A fella (or lady) could get lost up there and never be seen again.

They’re beginning to start crawling out of the woodwork all over, aren’t they? And way disproportionately frustrated white women.
