Former Prosecuting Attorney Donna Meadows-Price's indictment has been dismissed with prejudice by the special judge at the request of the special prosecutor. This means that the charges can no longer be presented against her forever. She agreed to pay a little less than $1100 restitution for the shortages found in her office.
Donna has suffered retaliation by the "good ole boys" ever since she called for an investigation of the Pocahontas Sheriff's office. She was responsible for initiating the investigation of Deputy Totten who was implicated in 69 counts of sexual improprieties. As a result of her principled stand, an open feud occurred between her and the sheriff.
It got so bad that even the county commission filed charges against Sheriff Jonese for using court house cameras on his facebook.
Prosecuting Attorney Eugene Simmons and former Assistant Prosecutor Robert P. Martin are currently under investigation by the Office of Disciplinary County for fraudulently billing.
Eugene Simmons is special prosecutor in Greenbrier County for a million dollar plus misappropriation of public funds by the Greenbrier County Commission.
Martin was recently terminated by Prosecutor Simmons with no reason given for the summary termination.
THINGS ARE HEATING UP IN POCAHONTAS COUNTY
In other news: Deputy Nelson has been reinstated to his office in Pocahontas County! It has been reported that the county gave him $50,000 backpay and restoration of all benefits. He was on duty today as bailiff. Our correspondent has indicated that he is forbidden to "bad mouth" the sheriff. Our reporter indicated that it is rumored that the reason for his firing was that he refused to falsify documents. (That's a secret--don't tell anyone!) It is nice to know that Deputy Nelson is a man of integrity!!
Our report on the Totten sentencing has some people worried as to who the other cops were that Judge Rowe wanted to get their "just dues" Look for more investigations as the truth creeps out!!
Is there another sexual predator on the local police force??????
Great News! She will be our PA again (two years)... Lets all continue to support her. Past the word.
ReplyDeleteyou call getting caught,going to court and paying restituion winning?
ReplyDeleteGetting charged is not the same as getting "caught." Paying $1100 is not the same as admitting guilt. In the real world most things are gray and not pure black or white. The special prosecutor no doubt looked at the case and decided it was "iffy." From what I know about the case, it was definitely "iffy." If the matter went to trial, the cost to the state/county would be far greater than the $1100 which is supposed to be missing. The special prosecutor wanted an easy way out. Donna also took a pragmatic look at the case. If she won, she would win big. If she lost, she would lose big: her law license, maybe jail time and definitely restitution. Even if Donna won, her attorney fees would have been enormous. From Donna's point of view both winning and losing would be very expensive. She also wanted an easy way out. The agreed settlement was advantageous to the prosecution and Donna. Both sides saved a lot of money by not going to trial. Both sides were winners. Even though I believe that Donna is totally innocent of any wrong-doing, I applaud her for making this agreement with the special prosecutor. I commend the special prosecutor for her common sense in being a part of this agreement. Now maybe the people of Pocahontas can turn their attention to more important matters, such as the officers and others who participated in the Totten cover-up.
Deletenow dreama just relax and go in the evidence locker and grab a couple of chill pills ,take a handful ,breathe deeply through your nose everything will be alright.........i know it can not be easy for you ,working in the middle of all that hatred........ your poor boss ,nothing has gone as planned for him ........ all of the plots he has hatched have not gone his way at all,just turned to shit ,i am sure that his great 100 % native american pride has taken a big hit .........in a few short years his reign of terror will be over ,and then both of your asses will be out on the street ........ so dreama just try and live for today ,your day of reckoning will be right around the corner ,you will go down at the same time as chief run a muck ..........
DeleteI HAVE BEEN A CHAMPION ,of Nelson before he joined the Sheriffs office and still am.
ReplyDeleteHe is the new face and just what we need Honest and unwilling to abuse his power for his own gain or on the orders of others.
He just needs experience as would any man or woman undertaking a new job.
Jonese is probably not a very happy camper over this , but he has bigger worries to address soon.
Beer Bong Bob is toast .
Honest Simmons what can I say that the people don't already seem to know . I would wager he soon will not hold office.
The magic orb has much to say but feels it should not for now.
Donna got a deal as to why , perhaps it was obvious that she was being attacked by others for reasons of revenge and she may have had to pay for items that she did not take but were missing none the less as there must be a accounting of the books.
Obviously the court felt she was not guilty of the charges issued by of Honest judicial system and Sheriffs office.
The great yellow tail cult along with Geeze , the coyote and anon may all be crying in their cheap beer and watered down soup .
It has not gone well for them as they push and hope for the enemies of the evil empire gain strength and their leaders face disbarment and jail and finical ruin.
Leaving them alone with no leaders having to face the fact that they are nothing.
The Road Runner......
AMEN!!! GOOD NEWS!!!
ReplyDeletemore egg on the face of the "good sheriff" and geriatric gene.
ReplyDeleteyet another failed sting operation to pinch price.
now the citizens and cc need to demand and find out how much public money was pilfered on the investigation and bogus prosecution.
a new investigation should now be conducted on the pcsd and the prosecutors office.
and price should be seeking counsel to file suit against both of em, officially and individually.
gotta be a hungry trial lawyer out there willing to take the case.
more misuse of office and abuse of power.
ReplyDeletethe federal boys may soon have some circus hoops for the "good sheriff" and the pcsd to jump through!
I know this is a big relief to Donna. I want her to know this dismissal is a big relief to a lot of other people, too. Now maybe the retribution against Donna will end.
ReplyDeleteThere is a GOD!!!! How many times will these bozos continue to frivolously charge people before they themselves get called on the carpet for abuse of power?
ReplyDeleteYou are kidding me. All this over less then 1100.00. Due the math.. Annual budget of 300,000.00 (PA Office) time 4 years .. Equal 900,000.00. They only could not account for that!! heck the CC can't account for that much in a month. Plus we spent Thuosands on an investigation. Time to look into new PA and the Sheriff.
ReplyDeleteyes, time to DO the math............$300K x 4 = $1.2M
DeleteGood catch.. 1.2 mil. Over less then 1100.00. Witch hunt?
ReplyDeletedang, im disappointed we aint gonna get to see the freak show side circus when sir rotten returned to town to have tea and crumpets with jonese & the goon squad.
ReplyDeletepoor rotten, guess he is gonna have to rot away a bit longer in his cage before he gets any more taxpayer funded field trips across the mountain mayhem state.
Maybe the Sheriff of rottenhand can hire sir rotten as a consultant and he could bring beer bong bob back on the payroll . Then get Cole back and the gang would 've together again.
DeleteI see the next step is for Donna to have the CC pay all her Fees. After all Gene started the investigation even after Doona open up her office before the left. Asking Gene to come and seat down and conduct a "hand off". So tax payers be prepared to pay out. PS don't forget she won her case (ODC) and the cc should pay it. All the stuff the Jonese, Rowe and Totten said was proved WRONG!
ReplyDeletefacing 2 separate sets of charges and sanctions, paying the cost of the odc hearings, being required to take additional CLE, losing her law license for a few months, and being required to be under supervision by another attorney for a full 3 years sure as heck aint 'winning'.
Deletemaybe its charlie sheen 'winning'.
moreover, price is currently facing a 3rd investigation by the wv bar odc...........more than likely, it is releated to these most recent criminal charges.
she would have been required to self report the matter when she was charged with a felony- just as cocky clifton was.
don't forget that cocky clifton escaped his felony charges, yet is currently facing "heap big trouble" with the wv bar odc.
he is far from being out of the woods, and so is price.
the only good news for price is that she no longer has to worry about facing these same charges again.
not so for cocky clifton, he's got at least a good half dozen victims lined up (that we know of) and is awating a fresh set of felonies as soon as the wv bar is done skinning his hide.
the special prosecutor and the federal boys get what is left of him, if only to toss his carcass in the cage to join sir rotten.
also, on only one of the odc complaints she owes over $50K to triplett and triplett for their defense.
Deletethis was after the cc paid the other law firm several thousands of $ to defend her..........and she then rang up several thousand more on her own before she changed law firms to defend her.
she is currently facing a new complaint which will result in many thousands more in legal debt.
toss in the many thousands she now owes to 2 different firms to defend her on the criminal charges and you are easily looking at DROWNING IN SIX FIGURES OF LEGAL BILLS.
if that is "winning", I'd hate to see what "losing" is!
the unanswered question-
ReplyDeleteWHAT IN HADES HAPPENED TO THE 3 IPADS, THE SPACE HEATER, THE WALL CHARTS, THE LAW BOOKS, ETC?
the cc needs to start a new investigation.
probably best to call in the feds and the state police.
jonese has proven himself to be worthless in the most trivial of matters.
ask dreama she knows what happened to them .......
DeleteAs far as Donna is concerned, I'd rather have her 'against me' than representing me! She made many major mistakes when in office and I wouldn't vote for again! Her failures in filing timely Orders caused many problems for lots of people! As for Nelson returning, who needs just another wannabe giving out tickets just because he can -- as he did the last time he was around? Raul
ReplyDeleteKinda nice knowing we have a honest deputy who wont forge on request.
Deleteyeah i would bet that nelson has not learned any lessons about being arbitrary,a quota is still just a quota ,it is such a gas writing tickets ....... he is not smart enough to have learned anything from his time in the barrel ........ just a prick with a mouthful of rotten teeth ,we will not change ......... this is a guy that never should have been in law enforcement ,anybody else would have taken a baseball bat to two people at 19 like he did will still be sitting over at huttonsville,sure wouldn`t be carrying a badge .......you know though you have to feel sorry for his boss,had that nasty business expunge from his record ,and the guy turns on him like a rat ........this is a guy who if he had been anyone else would not even be allowed to own a gun based on his rap sheet and past record,now he has a badge .........hey another felon does good on the pocahontas county sheriff`s department ........ how smart can you be to work for $26,000 per year at a job that someone can gun you down on cold winter night ,it ain`t like deer hunting ,the y can shoot back .........
Deletefigured out who the deputy with the black ski mask and the ar15 is .......why it is none other than deputy peteet (or is petit ) ........why our boy plays host to a bunch of cop looking guys from virginia who show up at the nrao rifle range for shootin parties ,sounds like the tet offensive ,what with all the automatic weapon fire ...... the day is coming when this loose cannon is going to hurt or kill someone ........automatic wepons like an a r 15 in the hands of such a heartless idiot with a badge is frightening ,(wonder if dreama has any ar15 training under her belt ?).......one more wing nut that the great chief run a muck has foisted on the poor people of pocahontas county.......... much like deputy k.f.c. COLE,and of course let us not forget 66 counts of serial rape lt. totten ........ 8,000 people in the poorest county in west virginia and we have all of these wing nuts with badges (is 12 or 13 ) running around looking for a big action crime wave that does not exist .........hard to believe that the great chief run a muck could have done all this damage in such a short amount of time,big bald ball headed a-hole screwing up everything he touches,hope there is a special hot part of hell waiting for him,and a cell at mount olive,right next to the best deputy in the whole wide world .........serve and protect us not them has not gotten out to this bunch,if deputy peteet wants to fight in a war,why not sign up for the u.s. army ,he could shoot at the taliban,oh shit that``s right ,those guys shoot back ........ another wanna be hero here in joneseastan,certainly is safer ......
Deleteshe did a good Job as PA (I would vote for her again)... fair, honest and treated people with repect. On the orders there were over 400 of them behind when she took office, BUT no one filed a complaint on Walt....(on the orders the Judges keep on kicking them back for BS...He is not doing the same to Gene.. hum.. they treated her diffierent).. Her biggest problem was the Good old boys .. they attacked her from day one and spent all their time telling EVERYONE how bad she was. Guess what... the last three years she has TAKEN their best shots and surived.... better watch out.... Everything they said has been proven WRONG and now IT is her turn... Everyone better hold on....
ReplyDeletetime for some repeat phone calls to the u.s. attorney's office on her behalf.
Deleteshe is correct, as she stated a few years ago in the loco poco times-
"WE ARE LIVING IN A POLICE STATE"
well at least walt got swift justice the second he stopped breathing ,straight to hell with all the other crooked lying lawyers ,who shit the bed before him ,you sure have a lot to look forward to old gene boy ......... do not worry gene, walt will look out for you when you join him ...none to soon i hope .......
DeleteTo Navin Johnson..... Amen..
ReplyDeleteI don't think brad stabbed his boss in the back he just said no and refused to do something he didn't agree with and it looks like the system agreed in other words Lord Jonese was found wanting and wrong
