SENTENCED TO 45 DAYS IN JAIL!!!
After a 2 hour trial on July 19, 2013 before Putnam County Magistrate Scot Lawrence, Mark Vance Halburn was found guilty of the willful disruption of government process and sentenced to 45 days in the Western Regional Jail.
On April 2, 2013, Halburn entered the Health Department offices and immediately became disruptive. After he refused to leave, a Deputy from the Putnam County Sheriffs office was summoned to the location. Halburn was arrested as he attempted to flee the scene.
Two weeks earlier, after Halburn had made numerous telephone calls to that office, he showed up and demanded access to the Department's administrator, Joel McKinney. Halburn was warned at that time by a Putnam County Deputy to leave and not return and was escorted off the property. Over the next couple of weeks Halburn continued to harass the Department's employees and administrator via email and telephone.
At the trial today, 4 witnesses testified against Halburn.
Administrator McKinney testified that Halburn was told that he was to come onto Department property only at a designated time.
Health Department employee Trena Smith testified that Halburn showed up at a time other than what was designated during the appointment time stated by McKinney.
Other testimony stated that Halburn was loud and abusive and that other customers could not do business while Halburn was in the office.
As usual Halburn is now going to file complaints against
His sentence is stayed pending his appeal.
The case number is : 13-C-607 in Putnam County Magistrate Court.
And he will just keep appealing until he gets something that agrees with his agenda, but hopefully justice will be served eventually.
ReplyDeleteWhat's to appeal?
DeleteThis doesn't bode well for his August 19 hearing in Kanawha County to revoke his pre-trial diversion for his October 2012 harassment arrest there.
bout time he gets what he deserves,, maybe this will shut his mouth for a minute...
ReplyDeleteOh NO now WE will have to feed him for 45 days!
ReplyDeleteCan we afford that kind of food bill?
Mark could go to jail!
ReplyDeleteI bet he is spending a bunch on lawyers or maybe he is using court appointed ones.
Did anyone get video of the trial today?
He has no money to spend. He's representing himself.
DeleteThis conviction will also directly effect Kanawha County's effort to revoke his pre-trial diversion on his October 2012 harassment arrest there. That hearing is August 19.
He may go away on both of these charges
No he had a lawyer
DeleteDid he now? There's one brilliant legal mind.
DeleteHope he got paid up front.
He has nothing to appeal, but he will keep appealing and tying up resources in the court system.
ReplyDeleteWhen the circuit court find him guilty, he will appeal to the Supreme Court and we all know how much the like him! LOL
And now the chickens truly come home to roost for our fat friend.
ReplyDeleteFor several years he has embarked on a premeditated scheme to malign, smear and generally piss off any and all public officials whose names happen to drift through his soggy addled brain pan each morning.
Now he's in the position where (1) a public official determines his guilt; (2) another public official hears the initial appeal of his conviction; and (3) five more public officials (two of whom he has annoyed, as evidenced by the pictures to the right of this column) sit as the Supreme Court in final
judgment.
Sounds like karma has finally bitch-slapped our boy. I give him less than five hours in the Regional Jail before he pisses off another inmate and gets stomped.
Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish!
ReplyDeleteAnd the hits just keep on coming!
ReplyDeleteHalburn's Next Legal Battle: Contempt Charges In Kanawha County July 24!!
I hpe this week turns out to be as productive as last week.
ReplyDeleteA thought, How will Halburn update his crappy blog while in jail? Maybe he could get Troy or Chester the molester to do it.
ReplyDeleteThat's probably not a good plan for him. Troy's in a rubber room somewhere and Chester is barely literate.
