Charleston Man is Sentenced After Pleading Guilty to Murder

A man who pleaded guilty in the 2019 death of a woman in Charleston has been sentenced to 30 years in prison. Charles Wild was sentenced Tuesday in Kanawha County Circuit Court by Judge Joanna Tabit. Under the binding plea agreement, he can’t seek early release. In late December 2020, Wild pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of 57-year old Tressa Adkins, whose body was found at an apartment at Carroll Terrace.
