MASON COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Investigators have released the name of the man accused of holding up a post office in Mason County last week -- and he's no stranger to WSAZ.

The Mason County Sheriff's Office says Shane Neal robbed the Apple Grove Post Office on February 22.

Warrants have been issued for Neal's arrest and once he is caught, he will be charged with second-degree robbery.

It was originally reported as an armed robbery, but investigators couldn't confirm if a weapon was shown.

This isn't the first time Neal has made WSAZ headlines. According to the Mason County Sheriff's Office, in 2006 Neal was arrested after a police chase in Huntington where he was accused of trying to run over an officer.

If you see Neal, or have any information regarding where he is, call 911. Deputies say Neal should be considered dangerous and you should not approach him.
