Potential bank robbery thwarted
By Charles Mattox
News Reporter
A potential modern day
Bath County Bonnie and
Clyde who were suspected
of attempted bank robbery
were arrested in the park-
ing lot of the Deposit Bank
Westside Branch Tuesday
morning.
The trained eye of Nicholas
County Deputy Sheriff Ben-
nieBuckler noticed a 1994
Ford Taurus backed into the
parking lot at the bank and
immediately became suspi-
cious.
"I was getting ready to cash
my tax check and saw the
vehicle parked in a strange
manner. Not too many people
back up to a bank." Buckler
said moments after making
the arrest. "I looked closer
and saw that there was no
license plate on the vehicle. I
knew something wasn't right
so I called for backup and
drew my weapon and told
the man to exit the vehicle.
The lady with him, jumped
over the seat into the back.
We later found a shotgun in
the back."
Drugs and paraphernalia
were also allegedly found in-
side the vehicle, according to
investigators.
Buckler's quick call for
assistance was met with
an extreme rapid response
from Carlisle Chief of Police
William Denton, Nicholas
County Sheriff Dick Garrett,
Jailer Jeff Sidles and Nicho-
las County Fire Chief Mark
Hughes.
After Buckler, Garrett and
Sidles, had both suspects out
of their vehicle. Denton dis-
covered a 12-guage shotgun
and a bandana in the car.
Shotgun ammunition was
also later found in the vehi-
cle.
The couple was then im-
mediately arrested.
Thomas Holder, 28, and
Pamela Shepherd. 24, both
of Owingsville, were charged
with possession of a firearm
by a convicted felon and pos-
session of a controlled sub-
stance.
Both were being intense-
ly interrogated by federal
agents Tuesday at noon and
as The Mercury was going
to press, officers said other
charges could be pending.
Neither Holder, nor Shep-
herd made it inside the bank
before being stopped by
Buckler.
"I think I picked a pretty
good time to cash my tax
check." Buckler said with an
easy smile to fellow officers
as the couple was placed in
separate vehicles to be trans-
ported to the Carlisle Police
Station where federal agents
later arrived and ioined in
the interrogation process.
Both Holder and Shepherd
were read their Miranda
rights when arrested. Nei-
ther made a statement at the
scene.
