January 05, 2012|By Bob Flynn

The case against a Clark County woman who allegedly robbed the Broadway Corner Market in December was waived to the Clark County grand jury Wednesday.

According to a Winchester Police arrest citation, the store was robbed on Dec. 27 by a woman who entered the store, implied she had a weapon and demanded money from the clerk. After getting an undisclosed amount of cash, the woman fled the store.

Savannah Hall, 27, of 1242 Irvine Road, was arrested in Bath County a short time later and charged with first-degree robbery.

The Clark County Attorney’s Office agreed to amend the charges to second-degree robbery and waive the case to the grand jury Wednesday.

Hall also pleaded guilty to second-degree promoting contraband Wednesday and was sentenced to 10 days in jail by District Judge Earl-Ray Neal.

Home invasion case hearings postponed

The cases against two people accused in the Dec. 14 shooting death of 31-year-old Andrew David Ingram outside a home on Whitney Court in Winchester were continued in Clark District Court Wednesday.

Preliminary hearings were scheduled Wednesday for Percy Hargrove III, 26, of Georgetown, and Sheena Tipton, 26, of Clay City.

Hargrove is charged with murder for allegedly shooting Ingram, as well as first-degree burglary and tampering with physical evidence, and his former girlfriend, Tipton, is charged with complicity to commit murder and complicity to first-degree robbery for allegedly providing Hargrove with a map of Ingram’s residence prior to the shooting.

Both cases were continued to Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 1:30 p.m. because the lead attorney for the two was unable to be at the hearings due to a commitment in another court.

An attorney for Tipton asked Neal to consider lowering her $1 million cash bond to a $125,000 secured bond. Clark County Attorney Brian Thomas said that because of the severity of the charges, his office didn’t agree that the bond should be lowered. Neal agreed and ruled that the bond would remain at $1 million cash.
