Mingo County Men Charged With Pike County Robbery
Forty-four year old John William Fields of Williamson Towers (East Williamson) and 49 year old Arvil Martin of Dan's Branch near Chattaroy had been arrested Thursday and were arraigned Friday morning on charges of receiving and transporting stolen property from the Family Dollar Store at Sidney, Kentucky. Kentucky State Police are seeking the store manager, Tim Cook, whom they plan to charge with burglary and grand larceny. They say Cook staged a robbery in the wake of a June flooding at the store which resulted in approximately $2,000 in stolen merchandise. The case remains under investigation.
