CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Mingo County man is in jail after allegedly shooting his wife's lover to death in Logan County.

Troopers from the Logan County State Police detachment arrested Jonathan Lee Ferrell, 47, of Gilbert, after a Sunday evening shooting along W.Va. 80 in Verner, said State Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Baylous.
