  • Western Carolinian September 28,1995 News Local Man Thwarts Bank Robber Shawn Miller outside Ingles, in Cashiers photo by James Grey by Tony Taylor Staff Writer On Friday, September 22, a robbery was halted by a customer at the Centura Bank in Cashiers. Shawn Miller, 21, from Rosman, was making his usual morning withdrawal for the Cashiers Ingles store where he has worked since January, when he thwarted an attempted bank robbery by a 21-year old Sylva resident, Mitchum Scott Turpin, according to Major Howard Ellison of the Jackson County Sheriffs office. Earlier that day, Turpin kidnapped Allison Morgan, a medical assistant at the Sylva Medical Center. He then took her to the old, unused Kappa Alpha house in Cullowhee and bound her to a tree with duct tape. She was able to "wiggle" free and escaped unharmed, Ellison said. "I knew something was wrong when I walked all the way in the door and everyone was sitting face down on the ground," Miller said. I just happened to look back around and there was a gun in my face. He pointed the gun at me and said 'Get on the floor'." "I just thought it was a drill that the bank was having to see how people would react," Miller said. "Then when he said, 'This ain't no game — get on the floor', I knew it was for real." According to Miller, the robber went back around the counter and told bank employees to "fill up these bags." "He was also cussing a lot." Miller said. Miller then told one employee that he believed that the robber was not concerned with the customers in the lobby. "He was more concerned about the money behind the counter," Miller said. Miller then told the same employee "Next time he puts his head down, I'm going to go out to my truck and get my gun and call the law. So I kept noticing him looking down and the next time he looked down, I cut out of the bank and ran out.'j "My truck was right in frbnt of the teller windows. I ran out to my truck and he saw me run out to my truck — he saw me get my gun out of my truck." According to bank employees, Turpin fired twice but the gun didn't go off. Miller said, "When I saw him do that, I went down to the real estate building and got a secretary to call the police and then I ran back up as he was running out." "He then got in his car and attempted to back out. I yelled, 'stop or I'm going to shoot'!" "When I said that, he reached down at his left side and I thought he had a gun but I didn't know where the gun was at, so I yelled 'stop or I'm going to shoot' for second time." J "After I said that, he continued to fondle around while backing up. I shot one time and he didn't stop backing up and he didn't make no noise and I didn't see no blood. So I thought I missed him." "He continued to back up. So I said 'stop or I'll shoot again' and he grabbedbact down at the left side again and the whole time he was looking at me. I then said,'I'm serious stop or I will shoot again'." "I thought, well he's either going to grab the gun. shoot or something so I shot again. I thought that I had just scared him, Miller then told Turpin, to put his hands on the wheel and Turpin complied. "I ran around the front of the car* grabbed him by the hair of the head and threw him on the ground and held himt» until the deputy got there," Miller said. Miller churns that he didn't plan become a hero. . a "I just imagined what it would *>, if my mother was trapped in there, had to go back. I just couldn't leave people in there after I ran out, I ju» wouldn't have felt right." ^ "I feel as though I did the r#« I could have shot him in the head m time I was looking at him — but ^ can live with shooting someone2^ couldn't live with myselt it i *"' one." ■,.« if some* Miller laughed and said u^rf like this happens again, I'll down on the floor." probably F" Revised DWI Law Takes Effed by Kyle Shufelt Associate Editor The General Assembly of North Carolina ratified House Bill 353 on July 28, and the new law took effect on September 15. It is a bill based on recommendations of the governor's task force on driving while { impaired. There are two provisions in the bill that are of particular interest to students who are under the legal drinking age of 21. First, it is now unlawful for a person less than 21 to drive a motor vehicle on a highway or public vehicular area while consuming alcohol or at any time while he has any alcohol remaining in his body If a person is convicted of consuming alcohol or having any alcohol in his body while driving and he is less than 21, his license can be revoked for one year. The new law also gives law enforcement officials more flexibility in determining whether a person has been consuming alcohol. Prior to the new law, police officers were required to physically see the driver consuming alcohol or be in possession of alcohol while behind the wheel of a car. Now law enforcement officials are not required to see the driver consuming or being in possession of alcohol. They can require an alcohol screening test based on probable cause, such as the odor of alcohol. Second, it became unlawful jto have an open container of alcohol in the passenger area of a vehicle when the driver has been drinking regardless of whether the driver is consuming alcohol at the time. An open container is defined by the law as any alcoholic beverage where the seal of the container is broken. The passenger area of a vehicle is defined by the law as the area designed to seat the do ^ including the glove compart ^ of the trunk or the area behin upright back seat of a statio^^y hatchback, or similar veh.c ered part of the passenger a ,t The law does alio*T ^ consumer alcohol in a vchici^,, when the driver has not ha drink. ,._;carticliv For purposes of thUi J H«r*:er:itisaga'ns an is defined as beer; it is -e--^ haV. was before House Bill 35 ^ container of fortified wine passenger area. if or..X
