(10/01/2010)

The WV State Police in Grantsville continue to work on identifying the man who robbed the Calhoun Bank in Arnoldsburg on Sept. 13, according to detachment commander Sgt. O. S. Starsick. "We have cleared another suspect, and are focusing on gathering evidence regarding another suspect," Starsick said. "Surveillance footage of the bank robber is currently being analyzed by the lab in Charleston," he said. A large number of troopers came to the county Tuesday, for what was described as "a saturation patrol."

"A number of warnings were issued, but no arrests have yet been made," he said. Arrests for marijuana have been made connected to earlier fly-overs. SEARCH WARRANT ISSUED IN BANK ROBBERY CASE State Police completed a search warrant on property associated with a suspect in the bank robbery. "While we were hoping for more, the search revealed about what we expected," he said, further indicating, "We do have a strong suspect," Starsick said earlier. Starsick said police have been wading through several leads provided by Calhoun citizens, and several have been eliminated. The officer said that one or more suspects had been given a polygraph test. "We still want to talk with anyone who has information or clues," he said. State Police can be reached by calling 304-354-6334. The male entered the Arnoldsburg bank and threatened employees with a knife, getting away with an undisclosed amount of money on an ATV, which has yet to be recovered.
