| STAND-OFF ENDS WITHOUT INJURY - A nine-hour standoff with law enforcement officers in Barbour County ended without problems Friday. Barbour County Sheriff John M. Cutright said Kevin Watkins, 38, of Patsy's Store Road, and his wife were having domestic problems. Protective orders and divorce papers had been served. 911 received a call that Watkins had barricaded himself in his home with a shotgun and that he was planning to hurt himself. Watkins had also fired one round into the floor of the house. Neighbors were evacuated from the area and hostage negotiations began. "We basically tried to talk to him and reason with him and he eventually decided to come out after midnight," Cutright said. "We were very lucky because it ended without anybody getting hurt." MAN IN BROWN ROBS CHARLESTON BANK - Police in Charleston say the man who robbed a downtown bank Friday evening did so just after the bank had closed. The man 'dressed in brown' held-up the City National Bank branch on Virginia Street after 6 p.m. Police say he knocked on the bank door and the tellers inside thought he was a deliveryman. After pointing a gun, he got away with cash. Police say the man was in his 40s, he's white and tellers say has a big nose. CHARLESTON WEST SIDE STABBING - A Charleston man was taken to the hospital Sunday afternoon following an apparent stabbing on the West Side. Charleston Police responded to a call on Elm Street around 2:30 p.m. Sunday, where the victim told police he was walking down a nearby alley when another man jumped out and stabbed him in the arm. The incident is under investigation.
