Many thanks to the WVU Academy of Engineering Success (AcES) Students for volunteering their time today at the TugBoat Depot Park in Star City.
Their efforts to spread rubber mulch, stain the fencing, along with pulling weeds in the areas surrounding the park were a big help to our Public Works team, and to the town’s efforts to continue park improvements.

The Town of Star City extends our thoughts and prayers to the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Department and the family of Detective Noah Thompson.

Monongalia County Sheriff Todd Forbes is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Detective Noah Thompson.

Detective Thompson, 27, began his career with the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Office in 2018 as a Transport Officer. In 2020, he graduated from the West Virginia State Police Academy and was sworn in as a Deputy Sheriff. Demonstrating exceptional dedication and service, Deputy Thompson was promoted to the Detective Division in 2026.

“Noah was a dedicated and passionate professional who we lost too soon. Our family is smaller by one, and all of us at the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Office are heartbroken by the loss of Detective Thompson,” said Sheriff Forbes. “Right now, our thoughts and prayers are with his family and everyone who had the honor to stand alongside Noah.”
