{Beckley, West Virginia}...Charleston Police have confirmed that 29 year old Jarod Edward Washington was taken into custody in the Beckley area Friday. Armed with rifles and bulletproof vests, officers surrounded a building and blocked off the 1400 block of Lee Street East in Charleston for more than three hours after witnesses saw Washington enter an apartment. At first, police were focused on the building next to the one where Washington had been hiding. The landlord of that building arrived and gave police a key and permission to search the building. Police then learned that Washington had been staying with a woman at an apartment next to the one where police originally looked. As officers were preparing to enter the second building, they received word that Beckley police officers had stopped and arrested the pair on the West Virginia Turnpike. Washington and Daniel Little are accused of fatally shooting 40 year old Raymond Chambliss at a home along Mary Street on Monday and shooting Natalie Sprouse. Police say Little and Washington went to Chambliss' home trying to sell him guns, be didn't buy them. The two men returned the following day and tried to rob Chambliss.
