  • {West Virginia}...U.S. Marshals joined local law enforcement in tracking down 31 year old Hubert Porter, known as“Bucky” of Branchland, West Virginia, who was arrested late Tuesday night at his sister's home in Salem, Virginia. Authorities say Porter was arrested on September 12th and charged with burglary, petit larceny and destruction of property after being accused of breaking into the home of his estranged wife, Alicia Porter, on September 5th and busting her TV, and stealing all of her clothes. State Police say he bonded out on Friday by posting a $17,000 bond, and he then went directly to  Alicia Porter's home where he broke in and hid, then ambushed her when she got there, holding her hostage for almost 20 hours.
