KINGWOOD -- The Preston County Sheriff's Department has made an arrest in a recent bank robbery, after working with state and local police, as well as the F.B.I.
Eric Hudson, 20, turned himself into deputies, Wednesday night. Police say he is responsible robbing the B-B&T bank in Reedsville at gunpoint on August 21st, and the sheriff said today that the case is far from closed.
"We also have the bank robbery in the Masontown area, and we're investigating it as if both of those robberies are connected," says Preston County Sheriff Dallas Wolfe. "We're continuing our investigation. By no means is it over."
Hudson may have also had something to do with another bank hold up at the WesBanco in Masontown in March.
Police say Hudson was living in Reedsville for a week before the robbery there, but before that he lived in the Morgantown area. Police there say he is also a suspect in an attempted armed robbery at the Allegheny Development Group in Riddle Court.
"The suspect was wearing the exact same clothing that he used in Masontown," says Tpr. 1st Class J. G. Baker of the West Virginia State Police's Morgantown detachment.
Hudson is charged with felony armed robbery and is being held in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on $200,000 bond. |
