The story behind the story:
Halburn was caught on Charles Ave. in Dunbar, on Father's Day, close to midnight, going 39 in a 25 zone.
He got a second ticket for an unsigned registration card. The only reason that the second ticket was given was that he went off on the officer after getting the speeding ticket. He not only got the original cop involved but his shift commander as well when he threw his tantrum.
He demanded they call the Chief and also demanded that all speed limits be done away with after 11: 00 pm. since there is not much traffic.
He also wants the city to make a new law that contractors not be able to start work until after 9:00 am so he can sleep.
On Wednesday, Halburn went to Dunbar City Hall to argue about the traffic ticket. He went to the
municipal court clerk’s office where he became "very loud and demanding,” about about a sign in the hallway.
Halburn apparently was upset because he mistakenly walked upstairs to pay for his ticket and that the sign was wrong. He was told by the clerk if he wanted a hearing on the matter that he would have to come back to court at 5 p.m. on July 1.
Halburn continued to argue about the ticket and got louder and louder, causing the clerk to get worried and use a panic alarm.
At that point Dunbar Capt. Scott Elliott was summoned to City Hall. Mayor Terry Greenlee told Halburn to quiet down or leave. Jess Bailes, the Dunbar police chief, asked Halburn to step out of the office, but Halburn refused. At that point, Bailes and Elliott escorted Halburn out of the office.
Halburn was charged with disrupting a government process. He was free on bond Wednesday night.
It's unknown if the sign at City Hall said, "Use the other entrance."
As two different court ordered mental evaluations stated :
"His psychological profile and behavior would suggest that he has propensity for aggressive behavior. Given his degree of agitation and volatility, any threats made by him should be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately."
and
"His arrests follow the pattern clearly seen by the mental health professionals: he generates needless conflict and then overreacts when his bullying tactics are resisted."
The publisher of a Putnam County news website was arrested after allegedly being disruptive in the Dunbar court clerk’s office.
Mark Vance Halburn, 52, of 21st Street in Dunbar, was taken into custody Wednesday in Dunbar City Hall.
Dunbar Capt. Scott Elliott was dispatched to City Hall for a panic alarm. When he arrived, he found Halburn in the municipal court clerk’s office “being very loud and demanding” about a sign in the hallway, according to a complaint filed in Kanawha Magistrate Court.
Halburn told the clerk the sign was wrong and that he had walked upstairs because of it, according to the complaint. Halburn was at the court to pay a fine for an unknown offense.
The clerk then told him if he wanted a hearing on the matter that he would have to come back to court at 5 p.m. on July 1.
The clerk told police that Halburn continued to argue about the ticket and got louder and louder, causing the clerk to get worried and use the panic alarm, the complaint said.
Elliott wrote that Mayor Terry Greenlee had told Halburn to quiet down or leave. Jess Bailes, city police chief, asked Halburn to step out of the office, but Halburn refused. Bailes and Elliott escorted Halburn out of the office.
