Two Arrested In Bell County
KENTUCKY....
Thirty-two year old William Kenneth Mann of Wallins and 23 year old Andrew W. York of Hulen were arrested in Bell County Wednesday afternoon following an armed robbery that caused the lockdown of a nearby school. State police say they robbed a business at the Vendors Mall near Middlesboro at gunpoint and then fled the scene. A short time later, they were located in the parking lot of the Bell County High School. Police say Mann attempted to flee in a vehicle, almost hitting a Bell County Sheriff Deputy and KSP Trooper Tyson Lawson. He then ran into a parked vehicle before being arrested.
Mann was charged with first-degree receiving stolen property under $10,000, first-degree robbery, first-degree fleeing or evading police, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment of a police officer and resisting arrest. Other charges are pending. York was charged with first-degree complicity to commit robbery.
