Halburn Cops A Plea!!!

Agreement Keeps Him Out Of Jail - For Now

Mark Vance Halburn

PutnamLIES has learned that Mark Vance Halburn has copped a plea for 6 months of pre-trial diversion, pending counseling, in his telephone harassment case.  Basically probation. An agreement was reached before his trial started Monday morning.

All charges are still pending until completion of the 6 month period.

UPDATE:
Here's the deal Halburn made to stay out of jail. 
He can't violate any Federal, state or local law.
He can't have any contact with the victim(s).
He can't associate with convicted felons.
He must pay $160.80 in court costs within 6 months.
He has been ordered to attend the Batterer's Intervention/Prevention program for domestic violence offenders at the YWCA in Charleston. 
He must attend 32 classes there within 40 weeks and he must begin them within two weeks of the agreement.
He has to pay a $50 enrollment fee and a weekly fee. A minimum of $10/week.
If he complies with the program he won't be prosecuted and the charges will be dismissed.
If he violates the conditions, he'll be prosecuted on the charges.

Basically he's guilty, but this keeps him out of jail. If he fucks up at counseling, it's over. This is giving him enough rope to hang himself. His odds of complying with counseling aren't good, given he doesn't believe he has any problems.

Later Monday evening, after he cut his deal to stay out of jail, Halburn  had to pipe up on Topix as one of his sock puppets and attempt to parse his way out of his latest self-created mess.

Because all free men are required to attend day report counseling.
Not Guilty? Not innocent either. The charges are still out there. It's not over yet.

Then Crisco tries another lie.

Yeah, because that's exactly how magistrate court works.
The morning stuff was for to him to cop a plea. That's all there was. There was no afternoon trial. There was no acquittal. His lawyer was begging for him to stay out of jail. He's free only in the sense that a man on probation is free.

The case number is 12-M-8580 in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.

UPDATE 2: 
2/13/13
Here's the pre-trial diversion agreement that Halburn claims doesn't exist. With his signature on it.  I'll bet his lawyer would be surprised.

UPDATE 3:

2/21/13

Now Halburn says this report is "off base", in a desperate attempt to divert attention away from his criminal behavior.

UPDATE 4:

3/1/13

Halburn is now claiming that he doesn't have to take COURT ORDERED YWCA BIPP classes because he has never been accused of Domestic Battery, and hasn't been convicted.
And again he plays the semantics card by stating he doesn't teach at Chandler Elementary. Chandler Elementary is now an alternative school (for criminals and thugs) called Chandler Academy for middle and high school students. Halburn has been subbing there. He's a perfect fit in there with all the miscreants and troublemakers.

Halburn denied the facts in a Topix post, posing as "A dose of reality."

Well, here's the agreement HE signed agreeing to take the classes. Note his crazy scrawl of a signature at the bottom.

The court documents speak for themselves. Res ipsa loquitur.

MARK HALBURN ARRESTED AGAIN!

Not A Fit Parent

Domestic terrorist Mark Halburn was arrested Monday and charged with violating WV Code §61-8-16 (c) for allegedly making harassing and obscene phone calls to WorkForce WV. Sources tell PutnamLIES.com that Halburn was furious because his unemployment benefits were cut off.

Mark Vance Halburn

According to the complaint made by Officer R.E. Veres of the WV State Capitol Police, Halburn "placed at least 13 telephone phone calls to WorkForce WV Deputy Executive Director  Valorie Comer and her staff on August 14, 2012 after his unemployment benefits were discontinued. The insulting, demanding and abusive calls continued throughout the day even after [Hallburn] was advised by the agency of his appeal options and their lack of ability to resolve his complaint over the phone."

He was arrested in Kanawha County, taken before Magistrate Joe Shelton and released on a $3000 personal recognizance bond, which means he didn't have to post any money (like he had it anyway) but if he breaks this, he'll be jailed.

The charge is a misdemeanor.  Halburn faces a fine of not more than $500, or confined in jail not more than six months, or both.
The case number is 12M-8580.

We wonder - Has Halburn been working as a substitute teacher AND collecting unemployment?
He is certainly arrogant enough to try to.
Does he notify them about the "income" from his opinion blog?

Halburn had a divorce hearing on Monday where one of the items of contention in the child custody portion was his erratic behavior and the amount of custody he should have.

PutnamLIES.com has maintained from the start that the only contact Halburn should have with his son should be court supervised visits. This just reinforces that belief. Halburn doesn't want his boy. The custody battle is to punish his second ex-wife. This isn't the way someone who wants their kid acts.

Rumor had it Monday he was going to be arrested after the hearing. He was.

We're watching you.
The case number is 12-M-8580 in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.

PutnamLIES.com will have more details as they become available.

No Room At The Inn

Halburn Comes Back, Shows His Ass 

Involved In More Hotel Incidents

Mark Halburn came back to town this weekend either to complain about the Wave Pool or to visit his little boy. We think it was the latter.

But, while he was here he managed to be involved in two separate incidents at two separate hotels, sources tell PutnamEYES.com.

He arrived at the Comfort Inn in Cross Lanes on Friday needing a room. Unfortunately for him, that location has been closed for renovation since May 18.

When he was told this he became very belligerent. The clerk referred him to Huntington or Barboursville.

Halburn then got on the phone to Barboursville, a location he was familiar with since he had been there in the past.

On a previous visit,  he made a huge disturbance, was rather rude to other guests, etc. Typical Halburn behavior.

Unbeknownst to him, he was banned from that location after that.

Apparently though nobody told Halburn this because he called and asked for a room. When he was turned down he really flew off the handle. That's when the hilarity ensued.

What caused the brouhaha?

Halburn loves to make irrational demands.

First he started with something he desperately needs.

A job.

One that paid him $55,000.

And a corporate car.

And his own personal suite.

Loudly.

He was told in no uncertain terms that he wasn't getting anything.

He allegedly called Comfort Inn Corporate and started making threats. The threats allegedly involved threatening to blow up their corporate office and corporate cars and he also allegedly threatened the manager.

Halburn's mugshot is now posted at the check in counter in Barboursville. If he ever sets foot on the premises again he will be arrested.

Why this guy's not in jail right now is beyond us.

The unusual thing about this incident is that it didn't involve a pool this time.

You know, fatboy, if you come to town to visit your son, you might try to not act in a way where you have no place to stay. Enjoy your supervised visits, motherfucker. With behavior like this, you shouldn't get ANY visits at all. You're a danger to yourself and others. But especially to the little boy. He deserves better.

We're watching you Halburn.

Every time you come to town.
