Wyoming County Woman Charged in Attempted Armed Robbery at Alum Creek Shell Station
ALUM CREEK, W.Va. (May 1, 2026) — A 42-year-old woman from Oceana, Wyoming County, is facing multiple charges after she allegedly fired shots inside a Lincoln County Shell gas station during an attempted armed robbery early Friday morning.
According to authorities, the incident occurred just before 4 a.m. on May 1, 2026, at the Shell station on Little Coal River Road in Alum Creek.
Rebecca Peterson entered the store armed with a firearm, approached the counter, and announced her intention to commit a robbery. On surveillance video, she identified herself by name and repeatedly instructed the clerk to tell the owner it was a robbery.
One shot was fired, striking a wall. The clerk told Peterson the owner was in the back counting money. Peterson then walked toward the rear of the store, realized no one was there, and fired another round at a surveillance camera in the back area. The clerk escaped the store and called 911.
Peterson fled the scene in a black SUV, traveling northbound on U.S. 119. She was stopped a short time later in neighboring Kanawha County and taken into custody. A firearm believed to have been used in the incident was recovered. No injuries were reported.
Peterson is charged with attempted armed robbery, wanton endangerment, brandishing, assault, and destruction of property. She was awaiting arraignment in magistrate court Friday and was being held at the Western Regional Jail.

> chef Mila Adams takes the stand
> claims she wasn't paid for 2 out of 3 weeks
> Diggs' lawyer pulls out receipts
> receipts show she was paid
> for all three weeks
> lawyer asks her name on the stand
> she doesn't know how to address him
> "what's your name? I was trying to address you by your name"
She came with a story. His lawyer came with bank records.
The receipts existed. The payments existed. The testimony didn't quite match either.
Stefon Diggs’ assault trial kicked off yesterday in Boston and it’s already wild.
His former live-in private chef, Mila Adams, was on the stand. She said they first DM’d on IG back in 2022, it turned into a complicated/sexual thing, then early 2025 she started working for him full-time cooking and living at his house.
She claims back in December he came into her room pissed, slapped her, choked her with his elbow around her neck till she couldn’t breathe, then threw her on the bed.
Diggs is pleading not guilty and says none of it happened and it’s all about money after he fired her.
Patriots already cut him in March for cap reasons so he’s a free agent right now too.
This whole situation is messy as hell 😳

🚨 TRUMP HELPED MICHAEL JACKSON – The Photo They’re Desperate to Hide 🔥
Proof the “Trump is racist” narrative is pure BS.
Look at this rare photo of a young Donald Trump and Michael Jackson chilling together on a plane.
Trump didn’t just take pictures with Black legends — he actually showed up for them when it mattered:
• Michael Jackson called Trump a real friend. MJ lived in Trump buildings in New York, they hung out at the Trump Taj Mahal, and when the entire world turned on Jackson during the allegations, Trump was one of the only big names who publicly defended him and stood by his side.
• When Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother, and 7-year-old nephew were brutally murdered in 2008, Trump immediately stepped up. He gave Hudson and her grieving family free luxury suites at the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago — with full security — for as long as they needed. No cameras, no publicity, just quiet help during their darkest hour.
This is the pattern. Trump has quietly helped and supported numerous Black celebrities when they needed it most.
Yet the same media and celebrities who benefited from his kindness keep screaming he’s “racist”?
Actions speak louder than political smears.
The real Trump has always treated people as individuals — not by race. The narrative doesn’t match the facts.
Drop a 🔥 if you’re tired of the lies. Share this truth.
