UPDATE 6/28: Marmet Police say your tips helped them quickly arrest Stephen Knight -- in less than 24 hours from the time he was profiled on Charleston's Most Wanted.


He's accused of a long list of crimes -- but police say they just can't find him. They're asking for your help to put him behind bars.

The Marmet Police department has named Stephen Knight one of Charleston's Most Wanted. He's facing charges of writing bad checks, obtaining under false pretenses, transferring and receiving stolen property, and grand larceny. Police say he even skipped a court hearing.

Knight is 32 years old. His last known address is on 98th Street in Marmet, but he may also be in South Charleston.

Call the Marmet Police at (304) 949-4388 if you have any information about him.

This is the first time I've visited the 'Charlestons Most Wanted' because I live in Huntington. However, this site is fairly amusing, so I may visit more often now. Thanks for the laughs!

Come on folks get a life! And take some English courses. Why must you all continue to make West Virginians sound like some of the most uneducated people in America. Finally - We have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God. Can you cast the first stone?

Funny, how Brenda is "done with all this" once the heat is put on her. Stealing from your parents?....wow, something a dirty butt would do
Posted by: Brenda on Jul 4, 2007 at 10:46 PM
I am done with all this. Debi i know he has done so wrong with Becky and the kids. When he as a father sould have be taken care of his kids and he has not been doing that. I feel bad for the 3 kids. I also know that Becky is a really good mother and works hard to take care of those kids to. She has to work harder because she is the mother and the father. All i was saying is steven didn't do all the stuff they had said he did. We went to court everything has been dropped. But one small thing that was w/c. All the other stuff they had not one thing on him. When he has stuff pend on him and we know he didn't do it yes me and my parents defend him. Just like all the stuff i have put on here my mother knows about all of it and all the stuff that others has put on here. Debi I tryed to call you befor i put any of this on here so you would know why but the number they give me all i ever got was the answering machine. So if you want to know why we did it just give me a call or ask Becky . We went to court everything was droped BUT ONE now i am finished i have nothing more to say. Debi call me or Mom she can tell you why to.

how many times has he stolden from ur parents Brenda?
Posted by: Brenda on Jul 2, 2007 at 11:06 PM
To J- I know most of the people on this board not one of us would ever defend a rapist,murderer,robbers and drug peddlers. If you would take the time and look we all at one point said he did wrong.My family on here that posted comments saying CONGRATS to him thats what we call sarcasm. Don't put words in others mouths that they never said. I don't think at any point I said I would ever defend anyone that would do such bad things. Even if that person was my brother. How do we know you don't defend them. And for JUSTICE- I DON'T HAVE A BIG HEART FOR CRIMINALS HE HAPPENS TO BE MY BROTHER WHOM I WANT TO HELP GET HIS LIFE BACK ON TRACK. I HAVE A GREAT LIFE TO THANK YOU.
Posted by: Brenda on Jul 2, 2007 at 06:50 PM
It's HERESAY ONLY ON THE GRAND LARCENY. See if you really know what you where talking about you would know that, And by the way he only had to pay $50.00 for not showing up for court. It was a strong charge all right!!!! You must be family to call my brother little steven. But anyway JUST TO LET ALL YOU KNOW HE WAS NOT RUNNING FROM THEM HE HAD BEEN IN MARMET MANY TIMES. HE TURNED HIS SELF IN THE NEXT DAY . NO ONE GAVE THEM ANY TIPS. IF SOMEONE WOULD STEAL OFF ME I WOULDN'T CALL THE POLICE I WOULD GO AFTER THEM MYSELF. THANK YOU BUT MY BUTT IS CLEAN LOLOLOL
Posted by: The Truth on Jul 2, 2007 at 03:39 PM
Brenda- The whole case is heresay? Him not showing up for court sounds like a pretty strong charge. As for the most wanted haters out there. The police are only trying to do their jobs. If little steven had stolen off you, all you haters would be crying saying the police aren't doing anything. Here is a case where they are and you haters are crying because of that. What a waste of fresh air........
Posted by: JUSTICE on Jul 2, 2007 at 02:15 PM
I FEEL REAL BAD FOR THE DIRTY BUTTS ON HERE THAT HAVE SUCH A BIG HEART FOR CRIMINALS... WHAT A LIFE THEY MUST HAVE
Posted by: J on Jul 1, 2007 at 02:04 PM
To Gary: I realize you don't understand sarcasm. Many people on this board defend child rapists, murderers, robbers and drug peddlers. Previous posters were saying what a wonderful person he is, don't judge him. Unfortunately, most of those people would have excused Hitler if he was a relative or friend.
Posted by: John on Jul 1, 2007 at 01:03 AM
Maybe these are folks they know they can easily catch with the public's help. As long as people believe in this "stop snitchng" garbage ... it will continue to be hard for police to solve some violent crimes.
Posted by: Gary on Jun 30, 2007 at 01:17 PM
Say J, what the heck are you saying? What's that nut have to do w/anything? Are you supporting Hitler?
Posted by: Brenda on Jun 30, 2007 at 01:07 PM
Hey all the Anonymous names on here put your real name so we know who you are. How do you know he does drugs???? You must of been with him or your family members was with him. That would be the only way you would know.I am not taken up for him because i know he has done wrong. But not one of you can say you are the perfect person. We can help each other all we want but until that person hits bottom there is no help and when that person does they need someone to pick them up and guide them. Even if that person has done so wrong that everyone else turns their back on them. The State and its System is really messed up in so many ways. People can sit on welfare and not be made to work and they have more than others.Thats at the bottom of the list. There is so much other stuff going on in the world and no one cares. They worry over the small stuff. Like illegal aliens in this State!!!!! Some Kids in this State has drunks for Fathers and Mothers. What good rolemodels are they ??? And those kids don't get the love and affection they need.You bring your kids up in a bad enviroment what kind of adults do you think they are going to be?? It's not always what the enviroment they are raised in as children but the people they run with as adults. I have one child whose father has not payed me a dime in 12 1/2 years. I don't harp on it.I hold my head up high and go on cause some kids are better with out the other parent.

What all the stuff hes stold off his friends & family? How about all the drugs hes done? He'd sell his soul to the devil to supply his drug habit & his kids be damned as far as he's concerned.
Posted by: J on Jun 29, 2007 at 09:01 PM
This guy is such a wonderful person blah blah blah. Hitler had great leadership skills.

Only God can judge him.

Steve use to be almost like 1 of my kids. He & my daughter met when she was 14 years old. He had an awesome wife & 3wonderful children but he wouldn't grow up & take care of his family. While they were married he caused my daughter to loose 2 cars. She gave him the money to make the payments to the bank but guess what...he spent the money & never owned up to it till it was too late. It's taken awhile but his crimes have finally caught up with him. I knew it was just a matter of time. I'm not cold hearted...I feel bad for his Mom & Dad & Sister But Steve ur getting what u deserve!

I think JoAnna is a little slow.
Posted by: Gary on Jun 29, 2007 at 10:59 AM
Tommy, you are right about the "most wanted" being petty thieves. There are, in fact, more serious criminals to post on the most wanted!!!
Posted by: ??? on Jun 29, 2007 at 09:58 AM
"Most Wanted!!!" This is a joke right? In gallia county people can steal, cheat, lie, do drugs, sell drugs to adults, give drugs to our children and have a hand in killing woderful people and get 4 years. Our justice system has apparantly went to the dogs. I just don't understand it. So according to his list of violations it seems to me that the due punishment will be what 2-3 hours in jail. This all seems to be such a waste of time to me. I soooo feel the the youth of this country because at this rate, it seems that it pays to be crooked and ruthless because the law seems to be on that side. Good people just don't seem to have a chance anymore.
Posted by: Brenda on Jun 28, 2007 at 05:52 PM
Just to let all you know not one of us is perfect. He does have a kind heart and is a good person in so many ways and by the way i went to court today they have no proof of anything. It's all on heresay. that all they are going on.so if you don't know everything about it keep your mouth shut. AND KEEP HIS KIDS OUT OF IT.
Posted by: jenny on Jun 28, 2007 at 01:04 PM
Mary your crazy....after the kind of father he's been, I hope he does drop the soap
Posted by: To JoAnna on Jun 28, 2007 at 12:16 PM
I believe the congratulations are sarcasm. I don't think these people are really proud of him for this.
Posted by: Anonymous on Jun 28, 2007 at 09:42 AM
This will definitely be an occasion that your children will treasure forever. Glad your such a good role model.
Posted by: JoAnna on Jun 28, 2007 at 05:51 AM
Why would you congratulate anyone for breaking the law? I don't understand some people's lack of morals. Cheating, stealing, and lying are not good qualities. The anonymous poster that congratulated him is probably messed up in the same situation and thinks its cool......what's this world coming to.
Posted by: Anonymous on Jun 27, 2007 at 11:24 PM
I knew this was going to happen Stephen!At least you made Charlestons most wanted list.NoNE of your other cousins did!CONGRATS STEPHEN YOU DID IT!
Posted by: Mary on Jun 27, 2007 at 10:40 PM
This is a very bad pic steven don't drop the soap.
Posted by: joe on Jun 27, 2007 at 08:37 PM
your mosr wanted site button is sending a trojan.
Posted by: Tommy on Jun 27, 2007 at 07:29 PM
As if there is not unsolved murders and many drug dealers in that area, and this petty crime stuff puts you onto the "Most Wanted" list. Another certain waste of taxpayer dollars!!!!
