On 9 Jun 05 Deputy Sheriff Eddy responded to the report of an injured eight year old at a residence on State Route 550 in Vincent. After the Barlow Volunteer Fire Department transported the child to Camden Clark Hospital, Deputy Eddy interviewed the child and his parents. Piecing together witness statements along with evidence Lt. Huffer found at the scene, Deputy Eddy determined the child picked up an unspent .22 caliber round he found on the driveway, set the round on a banister and struck it three times with a hammer. The round then discharged, causing flying shrapnel to injure the child’s eye. The child was later transferred to Children’s Hospital in Morgantown for further treatment to his injuries.

TWO ARRESTED AFTER AGGRAVATED BURGLARY OF AN ELDERLY MAN’S NEW MATAMORAS RESIDENCE

On Thursday 9 Jun 05 at approximately 0730 the Washington County Sheriff’s Office received a call from Doras Holland, age 89, 965 Wilson Run Road, New Matamoras, reporting that two male suspects forcibly entered his residence and threatened him with bodily harm if he did not give them money. The two suspects ransacked the residence and left with money from his wallet, two shotguns, a rifle, assorted change and a VCR, at which time they fled to a vehicle concealed nearby. Some of the change taken was scattered from the residence to the crash scene.

As they were leaving the scene of the burglary, the vehicle left the roadway, struck a tree, careened over an embankment and landed in a creek bed. Hiding the stolen items in a nearby wooded area, the suspects attempted to convince a nearby farmer to remove the vehicle with a farm tractor. Soon thereafter, the suspects were apprehended at the accident scene by Deputy Sheriff Scott Mankins who was en route to the scene of the burglary. With the assistance of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit “Bogie” and handler, Deputy Sheriff Keelan McLeish, all of the stolen property was recovered by tracking the prior path of the suspects into the wooded area.
