BLUEFIELD — Solid police work, solid observations by an eye witness and modern electronic communications combined Friday afternoon to put a Mercer County woman behind bars as a suspect in a bank robbery.
Amy Davis, 31, of Princeton was stopped by Bluefield Police on Old Bramwell Road at 4:30 p.m., Friday, based on her description as well as a description of her vehicle, according to Cpl. M.S. Haynes of the Princeton Detachment, West Virginia State Police.
According to Haynes, Cpl. J.T. Brooks of the Bluefield Police Department located “a large sum of cash” in the Davis vehicle, but “no weapons were recovered.” Brooks arrested a male subject who was a passenger in the vehicle on unrelated charges. Haynes did not release the name of the male subject.
Davis was arraigned Saturday morning on one count of armed robbery of a bank before Mercer County Magistrate Harold Buckner who set bond at $75,000. Davis was being held in the Southern Regional Jail in Beaver Saturday afternoon.
