On April 7, 2014 Deputies from the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office were called to Thomas Memorial Hospital Emergency Room for a 4 year old child that had been shot in the arm.  The injury was non-life threatening.

 

The investigation at the hospital revealed that the shooting occurred at the child’s residence on Dalewood Dr. in Cross Lanes.  Detectives with the Kanawha Bureau of Investigations obtained and executed a search warrant at the residence.  Evidence was recovered there to indicate the shooting did occur there.  It is also believed that the person who did the shooting was a 5 year old sibling of the victim.

 

Through the investigation it is believed the shooting incident itself was an accident.  Other crimes associated with the incident are still being investigated to include any negligence by the parents of the children. 

 

Child Protective Services was notified and are also investigating the incident.

 

The investigation to this point has lead to the arrest of the parents of the victim.  The charges on both of the parents are Child Neglect Resulting in Risk of Serious Bodily Injury.  The parent’s names are:

 

John L. Seymour 23 Years Old of Cross Lanes

Tabitha L. Bowen 24 Years Old of Cross Lanes

 

They are in custody but have not been arraigned.  The time of this release is 5:53 p.m.  An estimated time of arraignment is 6:15 p.m.

After several weeks of investigation, search warrants were obtained and executed.  Prior to executing the search warrant and while conducting surveillance on the residence Arthur Ray Elkins Jr. (23 years old) was observed leaving the residence in a vehicle.  He was stopped a short distance from the residence.  He had approximately 1 ounce of marijuana packaged for sale.  

A search of the residence turned up an additional 1.5 pounds of marijuana.  Arthur Ray Elkins was arrested and charged with 2 counts of possession with intent to deliver marijuana.  Arthur Ray Elkins Jr was charged with 1 count of possession with intent to deliver Marijuana.  


As is always the case in criminal matters, the charges against Arthur Elkins, Sr., and Arthur Elkins, Jr. are merely accusations.  Each is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

On April 11, 2014, at approximately5:00 p.m. Metro 911 received reports of a plane crash across the Kanawha River from Pratt, WV, and above Route 60 between Glasgow and Cedar Grove.  Firefighters with the Glasgow and Cedar Grove Volunteer Fire Departments responded to assist in locating the crash.  Deputies with the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the search.  West Virginia State Police Troopers and WV Division of Natural Resources Police also responded.

The crash was located around 6:40 p.m. by both firefighters on the ground and crews in a WV State Police helicopter.  The area is inaccessible for vehicles and ATVs.  Rescue workers had to make their final approaches on foot.  Damage from a small, single engine plane was located.  Two bodies have been located amidst the wreckage.  

The flight was not one being tracked by Charleston’s Yeager Airport.  According to Yeager Airport officials the flight did not originate and was not scheduled to land at their airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration was contacted about the incident.  They have dispatched a team that is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning.  They will assume the lead role in the response at that time.  Overnight the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office will have Deputy Sheriffs on site securing the remote area.

Though the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office will assist other investigators, it is not the lead investigative body in this matter.  No additional inquiries into the crash will be answered by the Sheriff’s Office.  All inquiries should be directed to the FAA.

On April 13, 2014 shortly before 3:00 a.m. Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office Deputy J. M. Martin was dispatched to Wise Acres Drive, off Greenbrier Street near Charleston, WV.  Metro 911 received a call reporting an altercation and possible stabbing.  When Deputy Martin arrived he saw several people standing around a described car.  He detained two men identified as possible suspects by a 911 caller.  They were detained without incident.

 

Deputy Martin then found Jerry M. Shaffer, 31 years old of Elkview, laying nearby with a stab wound.  Deputy Martin described the injury to Mr. Shaffer’s neck as, “bleeding profusely.”  Mr. Shaffer was able to describe the man who stabbed him.  He was then taken to an area hospital for treatment, and his current condition is unknown.

 

That man was identified as Jason Allen Wright, 33 years old of Summersville, WV.  Mr. Wright was arrested and charged with malicious assault.  Mr. Wright was also injured during the altercation.  He was taken to Saint Francis Hospital for evaluation and treatment prior to being arraigned on the charge.  He sustained injuries to his face and head.

 

According to the statements and evidence gathered at the scene it is believed the two were engaged in a fight.  A third person was also involved in the fight.  The incident started while Mr. Wright was driving a vehicle with three passengers, one of whom was Mr. Shaffer.  When Mr. Wright stopped the vehicle the argument moved into the street and escalated, ending with the stabbing of Mr. Shaffer. 

 

As is always the case in criminal matters, the charge against Mr. Wright is merely an accusation.  He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.  Attached is a mug shot of Mr. Wright taken during the booking process.

Deputies responded early this morning, at about 0617 a.m., to Ballard Road in the Alum Creek area after a female called and reported she had been beaten by  her husband James Belcher, age 41.  While Deputies and the Kanawha County Emergency Service were responding, Belcher left the home with their two year old daughter. Responding Deputies saw the suspect fleeing at a high rate of speed in a blue mini-van, turned around to catch up and they discovered the van abandoned just two miles from the victim’s house. Passersby called 911 to notify authorities, which aided in locating Belcher and his daughter quickly, as the morning temperature was in the low 50’s. Belcher had taken his two year old daughter and fled into a wooded area, but quickly surrendered to Deputies. Deputies responded quickly to the initial call which averted a potentially dangerous outcome.

 

Another Deputy continued his response to the victim, while Paramedics treated her for minor abrasions etc. The victim/mother Amanda Belcher age 30, was transported by Deputies to take custody of her two year old daughter.

James Belcher is being charged with DUI with a Minor in the Vehicle and  Domestic Battery. He will be arraigned shortly.

 

The arresting officers are Corporal J.S. Cochran and Dep. J.S. Shackelford, II.

On May 6, 2014 at approximately 11:30 p.m. a call was received at Metro 911 reporting a fight in the 5100 block of Dover Drive in Cross Lanes, WV.  Deputies with the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office responded.  Deputies arrived and discovered one person stabbed as a result of the fight. 

 

The victim, Fred Lee Cook, Jr., 29 years old of Cross Lanes, had been cut across his abdomen.  Ambulances from the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority were dispatched to the area.  The Deputy Sheriffs on scene quickly questioned others in the residence about the stabbing.  They were told Mr. Cook was arguing with his cousin Stephon Jerome LeMaster, 20 years old of Cross Lanes.  Both live at that residence with other family members.  During the fight Mr. LeMaster stabbed Mr. Cook.

 

Mr. LeMaster was located elsewhere on the property, in an adjacent apartment.  While Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office Deputies attempted to detain Mr. LeMaster, who was described as cooperative, they were interrupted by his girlfriend, Chelsea Huffman, 19 years old of Cross Lanes.

 

After the scene was made safe the KCEAA crews came to the scene to treat the victim, Mr. Cook.  He was transported to Charleston Area Medical Center’s General Division for treatment.  Details of his current condition are unknown to law enforcement.

 

Deputies at the scene located additional evidence, including the knife believed used in the incident. 

 

Mr. LeMaster was arrested and charged with malicious wounding.  He was out of jail on bond for a separate, pending felony offense, having been charged by Saint Albans Police Department.  Ms. Huffman was charged with disorderly conduct, underage consumption, and obstructing an officer.  Both were taken to South Central Regional Jail to be held until their arraignments.

 

As is always the case in criminal matters, the charges against Mr. LeMaster and Ms. Huffman are merely accusations.  Each is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.  Attached are mug shots taken during their arrests.
