LOGAN â Gunshots on Stratton Street near the drive-thru LB&T bank led to three police agencies in the county swarming the area for around an hour Tuesday, Jan. 26.
It started as a simple traffic stop by patrolman M.S. Hall of the City of Logan Police Department. According to a criminal complaint filed in Logan County Magistrate Court, Hall observed a black Kia speeding along W.Va. 10 and pulled it over at the LB&T drive-thru bank at 512 Stratton St.
Hall performed the routine checks and ran the individuals in the car through Logan County 911 to check for warrants. Hall writes that he then observed a man jump out of the back passenger seat, whom he later identified as Scott Allen Breeden, 23, of Dunbar.
