MOUNDSVILLE — Former W.Va. Sen. Dr. Michael Maroney on Wednesday pleaded guilty to an indecent exposure charge for an incident that occurred in August 2024 at Gumby’s in Glen Dale where police said he was caught on camera committing an act of sexual gratification.

Maroney, appearing with his attorney Martin Sheehan, entered the plea without addressing the court, with Marshall County Magistrate Zachary Allman presiding. The plea came as Maroney was set to go on trial for the charge.

He was fined $250 and sentenced to time served. Maroney already had spent seven days in jail for violating the terms of his bond after he refused to comply with a court order that required him to both attend and pay for drug rehab. He also spent 30 days in home confinement.

The plea agreement entered Wednesday does not deal with a separate driving under the influence of a controlled substance charge from a Sept. 23, 2024, incident in which McMechen police officers stopped Maroney after he allegedly committed “numerous traffic infractions.” Police Chief Robert Shilling arrested Maroney on suspicion of driving under the influence.
