When troopers arrived, they saw two women and one man at a trailer, the man was identified as Timothy Hedrick, 38, of Elkins, who was “on the floor with the victim and the victim was bleeding from the head and screaming, ‘Help me’,” troopers said.

At that time, troopers “observed the door frame to be broken” and a “bloody piece of paper and a pair of blue channel locks on the floor with blood on them,” according to the complaint.

Once troopers were able to speak with the victim, she stated that Hedrick “knocked on the front door one time before he kicked the front door and broke into the trailer,” at which point, Hedrick “hit her with the channel locks on her head three to four times,” troopers said.

During that time, Hedrick told the victim “he was going to kill her,” according to the complaint.

Hedrick has been charged with malicious assault and burglary. He is being held in Tygart Valley Regional Jail.
