Marshall County Family Resource Network substance abuse prevention director Latrisha Whitelatch and the county's successes in reducing underage drinking were featured prominently in WTRF-TV's local newscasts Wednesday and Thursday.
Whitelatch appeared in a D.K. Wright story about how fewer Marshall County retailers are selling alcohol to minors, as discovered in the recent compliance checks. A year ago, there were 45 of 48 sales of alcohol to minors in undercover checks by the Marshall County Sheriff's Department. This year so far only 11% of Marshall County retailers have sold alcohol to minors.
The story, featuring an interview conducted Wednesday afternoon in the Marshall County Family Resource Network's offices in Moundsville, appeared as the second story in the 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts on Wednesday as well as 5 a.m., 5:30 a.m., 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. newscasts on Thursday. Unfortunately, the video is not available online but Wright's story is available in printed form on the WTRF Website.
