Parkersburg residents charged in Harrisville robbery
By JOLENE CRAIGHARRISVILLE - Police have arrested three Parkersburg residents believed to be involved in a Harrisville burglary and robbery Thursday.
Jessica H. Knight, 25, Parkersburg; Anthony D. Pruitt, 26, Parkersburg, and James R. Busch, 27, Parkersburg, were charged in Wood County with felony transferring of stolen goods. The three were also charged with daytime burglary in Ritchie County as well as an additional second-degree robbery charge for Pruitt.
The charges stem from an incident at the Harrisville home of Clare I. Snyder, 64, according to Cpl. O.S. Starsick with the Harrisville detachment of the West Virginia State Police.
During the burglary, Snyder returned home to see two white men exiting a window of her home with electronic items in their hands, heading to an awaiting vehicle containing a female driver, police said. The vehicle was in her driveway.
"Snyder blocked the suspects' vehicle with her truck to stop them from leaving," Starsick said. "When she did this, one of the male suspects approached her and pleaded with her to not call the law."
When Snyder denied the request, the suspect pulled Snyder from her truck and dropped her to the ground, which broke her arm in the process, police said. At this time, the suspect also took her purse and the truck's keys.
"Because he used force, this became a robbery instead of a burglary," Starsick said.
Snyder got a ride from a passing vehicle to the state police office and gave a report.
"She was able to provide descriptions of the suspects, the licence plate number on the car and the possibility of a child in the car," Starsick said.
A broadcast was put out for surrounding areas and, at 4:16 p.m., the 911 center in Parkersburg received a call about a vehicle matching the description in the area of 13th and Lynn streets.
Officers responded to the area and found the vehicle's occupants, who were identified and detained.
"Evidence of the crime was recovered from the suspects' vehicle and respective residences by the West Virginia State Police along with the assistance of the Parkersburg Police Department," according to a report from the West Virginia State Police. Investigation revealed that an 8-month-old infant had been in the suspects' vehicle at the time of the robbery.
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources will be notified for a follow-up in this matter, Starsick said.
Snyder was treated and released from St. Joseph's Hospital.

Yes she is out, saw her already. Like that is something to brag about, that she is out of jail. Why dont you brag that she is family. Should be ashamed after she put the baby in harms way. Maybe next time she will be thinking with her head instead of other places we wont speak of on here. Maybe she will get her life together and stay away from losers, but that is unlikely. Good luck with that.

She is still in jail. IF she hasn't been in trouble before, she will probably just get probation, which is sad because that babies life was in danger.

She gave up her change to be a mom when she decided to sit in that car, with her child, and wait for two men to rob an innocent person. She did not consider the dangers to her self and her child, or the poor lady being robbed. She apparently lacks good judgement on what is safe and secure for her baby and she appaently has no parenting skills what so ever so she should not get her child back. She should not even get visits. The courts need to move now to terminate her parental rights and save this innocent little baby who did not deserve to be involved in this crime. I am writing to Gov. Manchin to ask that this baby be protected by Childrens Services so that it can be taught to live an honest and decent life instead of being taught to live a life of crime. To heck with Jessica. Let her sit in jail like she deserves....SAVE THE BABY!!!!!

apparently some of these commenters are part of her family (boy would I be ashamed if she was part of my family), or close friends. Do they have children that are in unsafe situations too. The old saying is that birds of a feather flock together so maybe childrens protective services should check out the people who defend this girl. She was the driver. She could have left at any time and gone for help. She is just looking for a way out. Keep that baby away from her. She is by no means a true and loving mother. Where is this baby now? Is it safe or is it with a friend of hers or family member of hers that wants to cover for her instead of making her face what she did. She was there voluntarily. If she wasn't she would have left the second they crawled through a window at a place she did not know. She would have had to been brain dead not to know what was going on. The State should put child endangerment charges on her and she should never be allowed near her child again.

I do not think this girl should get out of jail and I do not think she should ever be able to see her child again. She risked that childs life by having it in the car when she was an accessory to robbery. That child could have been killed. What if the lady in the truck had a gun and had started firing it?? What if a stray bullet would have hit that baby? If she gave even a care for her baby at all, she would have been home, being a mother, instead of being an accessory in a robbery. If that girl is allowed anywhere near that baby ever again every other mother and father in this entire state should contact childrens services and complain. There are too many responsible, loving families out there waiting to care for and love a child. Don't let this baby be doomed to a life with that mother and her choice of men and friends. Hopefully she will get some jail time out of all this too.

Well, well, well..they FINALLY caught up with him! (Anthony) There has been rumors going around that he's been stealing from 'everyone in Parkersburg'. As for Jess & her baby..I kept telling her she deserved better than him. But, she wouldn't listen to me. Now look where you're at! And you don't even get to see her first Birthday, her first steps, & it's ALL BECAUSE OF THAT LOSER!!! You'll have plenty of time to think now. So sorry, Jess. Love ya
