MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - The founder of West Virginia Society of Ghost Hunters was arraigned Saturday on a charge of delivery of a controlled substance after a woman told police the accused had counseled and given her medication, Berkeley County Magistrate Court records show.
Susan R. Crites, 55, of 208 Ruffed Grouse Lane, Hedgesville, W.Va., was charged with delivery of Percocet by Berkeley County Sheriff's Department Lt. Gary Harmison. A $20,000 bond was set for her case in an arraignment hearing by Magistrate Sandra L. Miller.
The victim told police that Crites started treating her in November 2005 after initially meeting the accused when she became involved with the Society of Ghost Hunters.
The victim said Crites told her she was a doctor after she became ill and gave her medication for what was later determined to be a cancerous growth, records show.
