BY CHRIS BRIDGES
Maysville Police Sgt. Rory Clark stopped a vehicle for speeding on the afternoon of Sunday, Nov. 18, but ended up with more than a simple speeding motorist.
The driver, along with the two passengers in the vehicle, pulled over on Comer Street in Maysville were all wanted on various charges. One passenger, Max McLinn, was actually being hunted by the United States Marshals in connection with a bank robbery. McLinn, who also had used the alias Michael Bolt, had a warrant issued by the U.S. Marshals in Virginia, Maysville police chief Clarence Sullens said.
In addition, the driver of the vehicle, Jeremy Nix of Pendergrass, was wanted on an outstanding warrant in Jackson County. He was also charged with driving without insurance and for having a suspended tag.
The other passenger, Jeremy Lee Ball, of 305 College Street in Maysville, was wanted in Jackson County as well. Ball was also charged with having 9.8 ounces of marijuana which caused additional charges of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, possession of a concealed weapon, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The traffic stop was made by Sgt. Clark at approximately 2 p.m. on Nov. 18 as part of his routine patrol.
Once the stop was made officer Rick Pope provided backup. Later, assistance from the Banks County Sheriff’s Office also arrived on the scene.
