On January 6, 2014 Deputies B. J. Pauley and M. S. Sims were dispatched by Metro 911 to a building owned by O. V. Smith and Sons. Among other businesses, the building housed Appalachian Independent Living. Three large heat pumps were removed from outside the building. Each was valued at approximately $5,000.00.
Surveillance footage viewed by Sergeant L. S. Deitz helped Deputy Pauley develop suspects. On January 16, 2014 William Richard Scott “Scotty” Nottingham (29 years old of Elkview) and Carl Clayton Larch (32 years old of Walton, WV), were arrested and charged with grand larceny, a felony. Both were taken to South Central Regional Jail in lieu of bond.
Attached are mug shots taken the day of arrest. As is always the case in criminal matters, the charges against Mr. Nottingham and Mr. Larch are merely accusations. Each is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
