Mark Vance Halburn Wanted By Dunbar PD

Allegedly Stole Cans From Recycling Center

An ex-Putnam County man is on the run waddle and the Dunbar Police Department is asking for your help to put him back behind bars.

Mark Vance Halburn

 
Halburn is accused of stealing numerous bags of aluminum cans from the city's recycling center on Charles Avenue in Dunbar and then fleeing.

Dunbar City Garage and Recycling Center

On Friday, December 22, 2017, Lt. Michael Lester of the Dunbar Police Department was dispatched to the Dunbar City Garage in reference to a larceny. Upon his arrival, he spoke with a city employee who advised the officer of an issue they were having with Mark Halburn stealing recycled cans. The worker stated that he witnessed Mr. Halburn remove cans from the recycle bins, place them in his vehicle and then leave.

After that incident, the worker stated that he set up a video camera by the recycling bin. The video showed Halburn returning in his his vehicle, a silver 2001 Buick LeSabre, WV license 4VV 367. He then exited his vehicle and placed at least three more bags of cans into the vehicle and drove off. This was all viewed by the officer who then swore out a warrant against Halburn.
There may also be an unnamed accomplice.

A warrant was issued for the following charge:

§61-3-13-b Petit Larceny

Halburn is currently on probation for a stalking conviction in Putnam County.

If you see Halburn, do not approach him. Instead, immediately, telephone 911. You can also call the Dunbar Police Department at 304-766-0204.

CashIn Recyclables pays $0.50/lb for aluminum cans. A full trash bag weighs about 5 pounds.

Halburn committed this crime for less than $25.
If this fucker worked half as hard at a real job as he does trying to scam money, he'd be rich.

This will definitely violate his probation in Putnam County. Should be interesting to see how he tries to spin this shit.
Between this,  him begging for money on GoFundMe, and moving in with his girlfriend sugar mama and her parents, Halburn has hit rock bottom now.

Halburn Plagiarizes Carmichael Response

Fat bag of dicks literally steals from the Gazette. Again.

Once again, Mark Vance Halburn has blatantly plagiarized another newspaper article from the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
This time it is a response from Senate President Mitch Carmichael to an AFL-CIO authored op-ed that ran in the paper on  March 21st.

And in plagiarizing it from the Gazette, Halburn eliminated the context in the first paragraph because he had to conceal what Carmichael was writing in response to. He removed the hyperlink as well as the title of that story.

It's not like it was a general letter to the editor that Halburn could steal and then pass off that it was sent to his blog. It was a direct response to an op-ed that ran only in the Gazette.

There is no way in the world that the President of the West Virginia Senate would  send that article to him as a letter to the editor responding to an op-ed in the Gazette. What would be the point of that?

Halburn is a guy who has never missed an opportunity to bully, threaten, harass, and jam a camera in the face of a person who has the misfortune of representing the district where Halburn's fake blog is based. When it comes time to clear the air, that's certainly not going to be the first place Carmichael runs to get the message out.

Halburn ends the stolen article with a "Publisher's note" which reads in part, "The columnist’s expressed opinions and information provided are his own..."
They weren't provided, you dipshit. You stole them.

Halburn continues to demonstrate his lack of ethics and integrity by plagiarizing text and publishing it, and by lying to his “readers” by acting like it was sent to him as a letter. 

A practice like this is business at its absolute worst, practiced by an immoral charlatan masquerading as a journalist. Halburn will stoop to the lowest, most vulgar, vile, and disgusting ploys to deceive the honest, hard-working citizen. He is the lowest form of scum on the face of the earth.

What's The News On The Street, Johnny?

Word on the street is that Halburn is getting donated can goods from a local food bank, and then taking them to the Nitro WalMart and throwing a fit until they give him a refund.

Guess that fake news blog isn't doing so well.

Stealing Material Once Again

Which Dunbar Blogger is stealing material again?

Halburn sometimes runs editorial cartoons on his little blog. (He used to have a subscription to a cartoon service but wasn't making enough money to renew it.)
He recently ran one drawn by Jim Morin of the Miami Herald and syndicated by the New York Times/CWS Syndicate.

The problem?
He erased the artist's signature and the newspaper's name.
That's theft.
It's also nothing new for him.

The version he stole and altered is on the left. The original is on the right.

Looks like another job by the Crazed Cartooner.

Attempted Newspaper Theft Foiled

PutnamLIES.com has uncovered an attempted newspaper theft from a local drug store.

The suspect picked a Hurricane Breeze newspaper (approximate value: 35 cents) out of the rack, opened it and proceeded to read it, then folded it back, placed it under his arm and attempted to walk out the door without paying.

He is described as an extremely obese white male with dark slicked back hair and a mustache, approximately 45-50 years of age, wearing a t-shirt with what appeared to be jelly stains on the front.

Sheriff Mark L. Smith says his office has received several good tips and they believe that they've identified the subject.

Anyone with further information is urged to contact PutnamLIES.com immediately.

On The Job

So I'm at work tonight on the 3-11 shift, screwing Comfort Suites out of a day's pay (it's NOT just for the benefits like I've been saying, my wife has benefits and a better job than I do, she's just tired of me not making any money when I play reporter so she made me get a real job), and I decide to jeopardize my employment AGAIN by getting on the internet and visiting the REAL Putnam County News Leader, PutnamLIES.com.
I've been warned by those pricks at The Summit Group about this previously. I just don't give a shit. Never have, never will. I've been fired from every other job I've ever had. You think this one is a big deal?
Fuck them. Do they think this is the only hotel in town?

I hadn't been at work for three hours when I started fucking off on the computer. Stopped by again around 9:30. I can't get enough of this site!!! Being a bellboy is hard work. Do they expect me to work without a break?
At least I'm only looking and not commenting. I'm too big of a pussy to do that here.

Wow, What a site PutnamLIES.com is. It's much better than PutnumLive.
Real news stories, not like that whining, self promoting shit on my site.

That "Health News" column really has me thinking. Maybe that's why I'm batshit crazy.
And the Crime News about the dog raper has got me all hot and bothered.
Great political insight and investigative reporting as well.
It's much more entertaining and informative than a page of other people's links.
I hope people don't send in more negative stuff about me though. God knows, there's enough of it out there.

Uh oh. Gotta go. The guy in 312 needs some ice and a pack of condoms.

UPDATE: After I put the condom on the guy in 312, I came back downstairs and got back on the computer until I left work.
Then after I got home, I left an incoherent anonymous comment on the 2 week old Overpriced Property post. They'll never guess who it was.
