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.

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

how do u not know if they said to her that was their familys house. u don't know her like i do. she was with the wrong people at the wrong time. i know her better than all u people do. in the bible it says do not judge people. if u know her like i do u whould see what i am saying. she is a good girl,and she just got with the wrong guy. she got with a butthole. and if u guys want to that baby is doing good. if u guy need to know. i will make sure that she gets out of jail. and she will get to see that baby agin. thank you for judging people u don't know. god didn't judge people.
