RITCHIE COUNTY, W.Va. (WCHS) — The bond of West Virginia State Police whistleblower Joseph Comer has been revoked in a domestic violence case against him, court records said.
The order was filed in Ritchie County Circuit Court on Thursday, according to court records. An arrest warrant was issued Thursday and West Virginia State Police said Comer turned himself in to the Parkersburg Police Department on Friday.
Prosecutors said in the filing that Comer is accused of having contact with Vikki Marra, his accuser in the domestic violence case, in June 2023, which would violate his bond conditions.
“Upon review of the records received from AT&T, it is clear the defendant has been having contact with the victim,” the filing said. “Based on the records attached, first contact was June 16, 2023.”
Prosecutors said the contact was followed by about 89 phone calls lasting about 32 hours.
On June 21, Marra informed prosecutors she wanted to drop the charges against Comer. Prosecutors said this sentiment was the opposite of what she’d expressed in the days before June 16.
Marra had originally accused Comer of assaulting her during a custody exchange of a child that they share together.
Eyewitness News learned Marra allegedly used associates to reach out to Comer, explaining she was encouraged by former West Virginia State Police leadership to fabricate the accusations which led to criminal charges and a domestic violence protection order.
