HUNTINGTON POT ROBBERY, A TANGLED CASE - A report of a robbery led police in two cities to five people, including the men who told police they were robbed, according to WSAZ-TV.

Huntington Police say two men approached several officers at the scene of a car accident Sunday night and said they had just been robbed at gunpoint at a residence.

Police issued "BOLO" and Hurricane Police pulled that car over on I-64.

Inside the car police found about a half pound of marijuana. Police said the pot was allegedly stolen from the men in Huntington.

Hurricane Police arrested the three men inside the car.

Karson Williams, 19, and Jacob Brown, 21, were charged with possession with the intent to deliver. James Flint, 20, was charged with conspiracy to commit a felony.

Police say those arrests then led them back to the men who filed the original robbery complaint and Neal Richardson was arrested and charged with manufacturing or possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance.

William "Kevin" Maynard, 22, also was arrested and charged with possession with the intent to deliver.

WSAZ-tv says Huntington Police went back to the location where the original robbery allegedly happened and found 18 grams of marijuana and hydrocodone pills.
