HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Police arrested a Mingo County man Monday night who is accused of attempting to rob CVS Pharmacy near the intersection of 5th Avenue and 29th Street.

The incident happened about 8 p.m. West Virginia State police tell us they were just a few blocks away and arrived at the pharmacy before the suspect left the building. Troopers identified the man as Jordan Hanshaw of Mingo County who is charged with attempted robbery.

Police said Hanshaw inferred that he had a weapon and demanded prescription medications.

jus so you know, seth(jordan) is my ex brother in law and may have his problems but i doubt any of you are perfect. i dont know what made him think of doing this. I hope he's learned his lesson this time. but to all you narc's out there talkin bout the fl doc's. he came here to visit me a few days before he pulled this stunt, so if its that easy to obtain whatever rx he was after, why wouldn't he have went to a dr here? i dont know, i feel bad for his family, they are really good people.

MY FATHER, BROTHER AND HUSBAND ARE COALMINERS AND I'M FROM MINGO COUNTY AND WE ALL WORK FOR A LIVING AND DO NOT DO DRUGS. I ALSO KNOW JORDAN'S FAMILY WELL AND THEY WORK AND DO NOT DO DRUGS. SOMETIMES KIDS GET OFF ON THE WRONG TRACK. I WOULD BE CAREFUL IF I WERE JEREMY FOR FALSLY ACCUSING EVERYONE OF BEEN LAZY AND DOING DRUG. ESPECIALLY IF HE HAS CHILDREN. LIVE AND LEARN AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. YOUR FAMILY MAY BE THE NEXT JORDAN

I am also from Mingo County and I do not appreciate that "rude" comment...Yes there are people that abuse prescription pills here but there are places alot worse than this county...You also might want to think before you say something about coal mines because if I'm not mistaken that's where your electricity comes from!
