Ashley, 43, of 418 Montgomery St. , is charged with second-degree fleeing a police officer, first-degree assault and two counts of first-degree robbery. Ashley is the son of Republican mayoral candidate and Ogdensburg City Councilor Wayne L. Ashley. 12 at a Chase Bank located at 424 Seventh North St. in the town of Salina, Mr. Ashley passed a note to the teller indicating that he was armed with a handgun and demanded money. Sheriff’s Detective Jon A. Seeber said they released a description of the suspect and a description of a maroon sedan in which the suspect was seen driving away. On Wednesday, Mr. Ashley returned to the same neighborhood at about 6:03 p. m. , where he attempted to rob the Hampton Inn located at 417 Seventh North St. , across the street from the Chase Bank, Mr. Seeber said. Ashley demanded money from an employee at the hotel while threatening that he was armed with a handgun, detectives said. Ashley was last seen leaving the hotel parking lot in a maroon Ford Taurus, one that matched the description of the vehicle from the robbery at Chase Bank. “Based on the investigation conducted by detectives, they used surveillance that was used as evidence and could see from the video that the individual was this person,” Mr. Seeber said.
