The Scene:
Who Was There?

scene 5.79 mi.
Deputy Hajash and Deputy Kade's alternate route not
chosen. 2.16 mi.  
Rob Webb had lived at 251 Cabell Heights Road in
Beckley, WV for 14 years. His house was situated less
than 3 miles from the Beckley courthouse and less than
1 mile from the newly appointed Chief Deputy, Steve
Tanner. On the night of July 3rd, Deputy John Hajash
had went on road patrol duty at 11pm and had stopped
to talk to another deputy, Gregory Kade, who was
working a special detail at a hotel construction site,
when he was dispatched at 12:54 a.m. to 251 Cabell
Heights Road.
Deputy Kade decided to accompany Deputy Hajash to
the scene.
There were two travel routes to choose from to get to
Rob's house;
a 2.16 mile route using Harper Park Drive
or a 5.79 mile route using Interstate 77.

Both deputies testified that they were unfamiliar with
Harper Park Dr and took the longer route.  

They drove 5.79 miles, parked their vehicles and walked
1/3 mile while stopping twice to call for directions from
911. They stopped to observe Rob walking peacefully in
his driveway but continued their pursuit. The 911
transcription states the call for man down was made at
1:12 a.m., 18 minutes after dispatch.

The 911 report also indicates that Deputy James Bare
took a call to go to Glen Daniels at 12:53 a.m.. Deputy
Hajash called Deputy Bare to ask if he was coming to
that scene. Deputy Bare replied that he had a call to
respond to at Glen Daniels.
Deputy Bare was the first to arrive followed closely by
the ambulance which arrived at 1:21 a.m. How could
Deputy Bare be at Glen Daniels at 1:11 a.m. and at
Cabell Heights Road at 1:20 a.m.
