MARTINSBURG, W.Va. -- A Hedgesville, W.Va., man is accused of threatening to commit a terrorist act at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, according to Berkeley County Magistrate Court records.
Ronald L. Patterson, 60, of 27 Frost Terrace was arraigned Thursday on the felony count, according to court records.
