Okay guys, do me a favor and don't debate stuff in this thread - I'll be happy to start a new one for you. Thanks.

So turns out this guy is a real piece of work. Here's the case history I found on him just by searching the closest three counties alone:

  • 11/21/2003 - Reckless Driving - Reduced to Improper Driving
  • 04/04/2004 - Failure to Obey Stop Sign - Convicted
  • 05/03/2004 - Defective Brake Lights - Convicted
  • 08/01/2004 - Underage Purchase / Possession of Alcohol - Convicted
  • 08/02/2006 - Misdemeanor Assault - Convicted
  • 12/16/2007 - Armed Burglary Entering Building to Rape, Unlawful Wounding / Shoot/Stab in Commitment of a Felony - Reduced to Brandishing a Fire Arm and Assault and Battery
  • 03/19/2009 - Phone harassment - Dismissed
  • 09/02/2009 - Public Intoxication - Convicted
  • 09/09/2009 - Inhaling Drugs, i.e. Smokin' the Reefer - Dismissed
  • 07/02/2010 - Public Intoxication - Convicted
  • 09/15/2010 - Public Intoxication - Convicted / Misdemeanor Assault - Dismissed
  • 09/30/2011 - DWI - 3rd Within 10 Years, Driving with Suspended / Revoked / Restricted License - TBD


Virginia's website doesn't let you run a full rap sheet by a person's name, so you have to go into each jurisdiction and search individually. We know this list probably isn't anywhere near complete as evidenced by the fact that he's being charged with his 3rd DWI within 10 years and I can't find the other two (means they probably happened elsewhere in Virginia).

The law requires the judge to sentence him to no less than 3 months in jail and a $1000 fine if convicted. Hardly seems appropriate for a guy that seems to define the term "habitual offender."
