MASON ARMED ROBBERIES - State Police in Mason County are investigating three recent armed robberies, the first reported on December 9 at the TNT #2 Gaming Parlor at the intersection of 2nd Street and WV Rt. 62 in Mason. A man went into the parlor about 10:30 p.m., showed a revolver and told the clerk it was a robbery. The clerk refused to give money to the suspect and he ran away. The clerk knew the suspect and identified him as Danny Glover. Warrants have been issued for his arrest. He will be charged with armed robbery and brandishing a deadly weapon.

STORE HOLD-UP IN FAYETTE - A Fayette County man was arrested Thursday morning after police said he robbed a convenience store at gunpoint. Sheriff's deputies said a man wearing a ski mask, mismatched gloves and a Halloween cape robbed a Shell convenience store in Ansted with a handgun around midnight. A store clerk told police the man forced her to re-enter the store after she closed, disarm the security system and open a safe, according to a news release. The man allegedly took about $800 from the safe and a carton of cigarettes. Deputies then received a tip from a Fayette County woman who said Joshua Paul Clark, 19, of Hico, came to her residence Thursday morning and left a yellow moneybag with a carton of cigarettes inside. The woman told police that Clark borrowed gloves and a Halloween costume from her Wednesday. Police arrested Clark at his residence and charged him with first-degree robbery and is currently being held in Southern Regional Jail in lieu of a $100,000 bail.
