Here's a rotten example of the struggles Badges contend with on a daily basis even here in the outback of rural West Virginia.
William Edmund Johnson Felony 31, DOB 12-15-74: On April 25th, the 911 call came in of Johnson who had recently been released from prison and refused to leave his sister's residence. She advised, she had already been hit by the guy.
Green shirt Badge J A Miller could hear on the tele, Johnson say, : you better not be calling the cops!" Ms Grose stated he was going to shoot a cop in the face if they came out there. Miller could also hear the male say " if he sees a cop come around the curve, he was going to light it up.
Additional Badges were called to duty.
As the posse rounded the curve, and still listening via the cell phone, Green Short Miller heard, " the F--ing cops are here.. I knew you called them.
On scene, the Badges could see Johnson running toward the tree line. That part about Stop, Put your hands in the air... that did little to slow his pace.
Four Green Shirts managed to cuff the 47 year old.
With everything simmering down, Ms Grose told law emforcement: he kept the gun in a secret place where no one could find them... his threats to cops were real because while Johnson was in prison for following a cop (Charleston) , he shot the cops brother.... he shot the brother because he felt that would hurt the Badge worse doing it to his family member.
Johnson also told his sister that he had killed a cellmate and made it look like a suicide.
Once Johnson was back in the badgemobile, he kept cussing and told the Badge, he gets back at cops and he would find out where the Badges lived and kill their family members.. and finished with, "I did it before!!"
Unprompted, during the ride, Johnson: you're lucky you got me before I got over the hill... I was going to get my "Caviar" and armor penetrating rounds and take you out. Johnson also claimed, he had the hillside booby trapped....
Also during the ride Johnson asked why he was in prison. Response: he hunted down a Kanawha County Black Shirt who had pulled him over for a broke tail light and for executing the Black Shirt's brother while he was on his knees.
So.. what's this nice guy charged with? Answer: domestic battery, kidnapping, terrorist threats, and fleeing on foot.
Felony 30 Billy Joe Duffield (DOB 11-29-76). County Clay Black Shirt Tyler Caruthers did the honor with this 47 year old.
The one paragraph criminal complaint read in part: On April 19th in Elkhurst, Billy Joe Duffield attempted to take and carry away from a residence, 3 kayaks. The values of the kayaks are $799 and $279 for a total of $1768.
Felony 29 Catherine Jean Vandorvort (DOB 8-12-70) Charged with Burglary, Destruction of Property, and Conspiracy, here's some excerpts penned by Green Shirt F L Raynor.
On March 3rd, around 7pm, property owner Jerry Dunlap reported items stolen from his property after the break in to the building. Okay readers, here's the kicker. The property owner had working security cameras and captured images of the bad guy.
Talking among themselves, the Badges came togetherwith info from another investigation which included Franklin Moore and Katherine Vandervort. From that other investigation, the victim identified a Dell computer, Trailmark tires, and a round kerosene heater as stolen.
Damages caused by the break in amounted to a garage door, door hasp, and a window. Total loss, over $3000.
Jeremiah John Taylor
Felony 27 goes to
Jeremiah John Taylor (DOB 6-28-88) of Fola
Road. This criminal complaint was drawn up by Green Shirt
R E Wiseman on April 29th. Here's an example of
dimly lit people getting caught over and over and filling
up our judicial system and jails.
Excerpts: Back in April, Wiseman was cruising down Route 16. With no inspection sticker and loud exhaust, Mr Taylor was easy pickins for law enforcement.
And low and behold, after taking a look at the driver, the Badge recognize Jeremiah from a previous arrest from a week earlier. Not falling off the turnip ruck yesterday, after questioning, turns out Taylor was in big trouble.
Charges include: the plate did not match the registration card and had been altered; the license plate sticker had been altered with white out and black magic marker; no seat belt, no insurance proof; registration was doctored; and faulty equipment
To top off the evening encounter, Yelp, Taylor had a Meth pipe in his right front pants pocket.
When are criminals goin to learn, they aught to ride around in legal vehicles!
