On February 24th police say that Shane Stephen Holbrook, 27, approached a vehicle parked in front of a business in the 500 block of 20th Street in Huntington, pulled a gun, then demanded the occupants of the vehicle give him money.

According to the report, two of the occupants gave him money, a third was shot while attempting to give Holbrook his money. Holbrook is currently being held in the Western Regional Jail on first-degree robbery and malicious wounding charges.

On Monday, April 25th, Holbrook appeared in court and filed a motion to be released from jail on home confinement. That motion was denied.

At some point during transport back to Western Regional Jail, Holbrook had access to a device that he used to post selfies on Facebook. Representatives from the West Virginia Jail Authority are investigating the incident.
