MARTIN -- Kentucky State Police troopers are on the scene of a reported bank robbery at the First Commonwealth Bank branch in Martin. Witnesses say two men ran into the bank ran from the scene with "a wad of cash," ran across the street and fled into a nearby train tunnel. Nattie Triplett, of Garrett, had just finished conducting her business at the bank and was leaving, when she saw the two men across the street, "acting fidgety." She said she saw them suddenly run into the bank and noticed a flurry of activity inside, at which time she suspected a robbery was taking place, so she called 911.

With this President taking coal jobs away by not renewing permits, get ready to see a lot more of this type of crime locally. No coal fired power plants will be allowed to operate in the U.S. by mid 2013 and big players are already giving their employees the word. So what do ya do when the baby needs milk or more likely Momma wants a pill and you can't get assistance because you made too much last year? Why rob the bank of course! Remember, they gave us our 2nd Amendment Rights so they could not come take the others away.....Exercise that right and carry in the open daily!Let the whole world know that you are not going to be an easy mark. Hey ..... ain't it funny that when seconds count, the cops are just minutes away?
