OAK HILL, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Two people were caught staying inside the old BB&T building in Oak Hill, and one suspect is still on the run.
Oak Hill Police tell Lootpress that on October 13, 2022, the owner of the former BB&T building located at 100 Main Street stated that he was there to check the building and could smell cigarette smoke from the drive-thru area of the building. When the man attempted to enter the room, he couldn’t open the door, as if someone was holding it shut from the inside.
Before police could arrive, the man said that a male and female ran from inside the building and gave them a physical description of the suspects. Police were able to locate the female suspect, identified as Ashley Nicole Hudson, on School Street. Police found a male suspect, Shawn Randall Dixon, who told police that he had not been near the BB&T building.
Hudson advised police that Dixon was the male suspect with her that ran from inside the building. Dixon couldn’t be located again and has warrants for his arrest.
Police observed the door to be forcibly kicked in by what appeared to be a shoe mark on the outside door of the bank building. They also found notebooks inside with the name Ashley on one of them and Shawn on the other. Also, a mattress, clothing, and drug paraphernalia were found inside.
Hudson is charged with breaking and entering. She is currently in Southern Regional Jail under a 10,000 dollar bond.
