Huntington Armed Robbery Goes To Grand Jury

  • {Huntington, West Virginia}...Wednesday, William Fykes appeared at a preliminary hearing on three counts of armed robbery, kidnapping and two counts of malicious wounding. Huntington Police Detective Rob Stinnett testified that the Stonewall nightclub on 7th Avenue had closed early New Year's morning when Fykes entered with a pistol, forced employees to help in searching the club for money, tied them up with phone and computer cords and pistol whipped them. One employee that returned from picking up pizza heard the commotion inside and called police who arrested Fykes after he dropped the handgun and money bag with $21,000 outside the club. The case was sent to the February Cabell County Grand Jury.
