Judge in Trouble Again Over Walmart Allegations – Everything Law and Order Blog

Breaking today: You may recall the West Virginia judge who was featured in traffic stop body cam footage, which resulted in the filing of formal judicial disciplinary charges against him due to his behavior during and after the stop. That judicial disciplinary litigation is apparently ongoing, as it is being contested by the judge. But wait, there’s more…. Believe it or not, the same judge has now had a separate set of formal charges lodged against him by the West Virginia Judicial Investigation Commission. The new Formal Statement of Charges, filed on February 14, 2022, and just released today, contains allegations pertaining to, of all things, the Walmart self checkout process.

  1. Well if the average American can walk in and grab 10 specific items and walk out without paying why can’t a judge have ha . No rules for thee even less for me because I’m a judge.

  2. Ok peeve of mine. The officers in West Virginia still write their reports in the 3rd person. This has to stop. It is almost impossible to listen to you read what they have wrote. Most of not virtually all law enforcement moved to writing in the 1st person about 35-40 years ago. Write as you speak, in the first person. sorry I love your investigations and your attempt to hold criminals in check.

  3. It doesn't matter if you're a judge a cop a district attorney a lawyer doesn't matter who you are if you steal you're a shoplifter the police should have went to the judge's house arrested him charged him for shoplifting and put him in jail but because it was a judge can you please go back to Walmart and pay for your merchandise should have never been a phone call he should have just been arrested

  4. I manage a grocery store and this isn’t surprising. It is becoming more common for people of all financial backgrounds to take products without paying for them. We caught a customer scanning only a few things, paying for the few things she scanned and trying to leave. When asked about the things she didn’t scan, she said, “Well, I had to wait too long in line so I decided I needed a few free things as compensation.” This lady owns a successful, local business. It’s not even only at self-checkout. More customers are picking up products and just walking out. Many of these people are financially capable of paying. Most say they are in a hurry and don’t want to take time to pay. The entitlement of people is getting ridiculous.

  5. Meanwhile am literally followed around Walmart like a damn hawk the people who work at woman stop what they are doing to watch me and this judge gets away with $300.00 worth of shit and he does it again. I’m just not shocked.

  6. Telling me a judge csnt afford 300 so hes a thief and aggressive rude person commits judicial crimes , gets no punishment (if i owned wallmart id be furious as u stole from me and they are covering it up) and he is still a judge ,, is this a joke ? This must be a joke ,?? Someone tell me this is a joke,?

  7. While this is an older case, my curiousity was piqued when the comment was relayed from the LP staff via the prosecutor "that they hoped he wasn't going to be mad at Walmart." Now why in the world would someone say that?? Sounds like he had a prior ugly dialogue with the LP staff as though he contested the transaction and had attitude like the traffic stop for the cellphone. Just saying…

  8. Nothing shocks me about the criminality in government anymore. In the movie theater where a retired cop shot and killed a man for texting before the movie had even started and shot his wife through the hand and was acquitted, that was it for me. I just want to know what the hell the morons on the jury were thinking. That cop should have spent the rest of his pathetic life in prison.

  9. I've actually done the same thing. I scanned all the items in my cart, then spaced out and started walking out without paying. I caught myself and turned around and paid, but I could have made it all the way out of the store had I not caught myself. It's a completely honest mistake that would have looked like blatant theft.
