Harassment of Freedom Van CONTINUES in Kingwood, WV
Grandma arrested TWICE in one week for 'wrong color' Christmas Lights on her mini-van.
 
UPDATE February, 2014 - APPEAL FILED ~ West Virginia Supreme Court:  www.libertyvan.com/PoliceHarassment/KingwoodPrestonCountyWV/SupremeCourtAppeal.html
 
This WAS the news coverage of the first arrest.  I had NEVER in my life been arrested for ANYTHING.  I don't even litter - not even cigarette buts.
New page posted 5/17/13 Grandma ARRESTED in Kingwood, WV (Preston County) for 'Christmas's lights on mini-van     Channel 13 CBS News, Charleston, WV
There was a minute and a half of news coverage the day after my first arrest in Kingwood, WV (Preston County) for 'Christmas's lights on mini-van, it was on Channel 13 CBS News, Charleston, WV, on 5/16/13.  Unfortunately,
they seem to have taken it down from their website, it is no longer available.  The reporter did a GREAT job.
 
 
Here is what I got this original ticket for, Valentine 2013
So, I am updating this on 9/23/13, to add the story of my FIRST arrest in Kingwood.  The news story had told it very well.   I went to
court on May 15, 2013 for the ticket for pink 'Christmas' type lights I had on Freedom Van, when I had it done up for Valentine's Day.
 
It was the arraignment, where I plead 'not guilty', and where they had before let me go on my own recognizance (prior ticket for green
lights the year before).  I had at this point in time a history of MORE THAN A YEAR of showing up EVERY single time for EVERY court
date, and ON TIME, even though I live almost 500 miles from there.  But, this time, Magistrate Jenkins expected me to STATE that
I would GIVE UP MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH, and NOT drive with lights on my award winning ART car at night.  I did NOT so state, next
thing I knew, the officer (Mitter, who gave me the ticket for the pink lights, and had threatened to arrest me at that time) had his hands
on me, and hustled me out of the courtroom, and across the way to the jail.  He had me sit, and take my boot off, so he could shackle my leg
to a sort of cot or bench.  My attorney had followed us, and witnessed this.  I had to call my bank and check my balance there, so I could
write a check for $2,500 for bail.  They would not allow me to use my cell phone, I had to use their jail phone, which the officer was listening
in on, when I talked to my bank.  Fortunately, my attorney was able and willing to go cash my check for me, as I understood they were
going to keep me there (and transport me to the REGIONAL jail - wherever THAT is!) until I had CASH, or until my NEXT HEARING DATE,
June 18, MORE THAN A MONTH AWAYI have had this in my folder for a few months now, not sure why I forgot to post this last time, here
is the JAIL COMMITMENT ORDER, signed by Magistrate Jenkins, and officer Mitter, 
 
 
I sat there for probably an hour, in the shackle, while my attorney went and cashed my check.  This was my FIRST EVER experience
of this sort, and I was in a bit of a state of shock.  But, also, I was amazed to find, my heart and mind were quiet - I could almost physically
feel Jesus' arms around me there.  The instant the shackle had touched me, I'd automatically begun reciting The Lord's Prayer (in my mind),
and had kept that going except while working on getting a check written.  It did not matter what they did to me.   My spirit was NOT touched
by that metal thing on my leg!  Will also say, I am a dog breeder, and I have NEVER chained a dog in such a manner.  Interesting, I found I did
not want or need a smoke.  Jesus took care of that too.  Finally, the officer came back, and my attorney; he had posted my bond.  They took
me back to the courtroom, and this time, I still did not say I would not drive with lights, said I'd try to get out of WV before dark, so they let
me go.
 
It was early enough for me to get out of the state by dark, even though it was over 200 miles to the state line.  I had to take I-68 out to I-79,
then my favorite run down 79 from Morgantown to Charleston, then I-64 to KY.  But, it was quite a warm afternoon, and about 1/2 way down
I-79, I got very sleepy, so had to pull off in a rest area for a nap.  By the time I awoke, it was early evening.  By the time I was coming into
Charleston, it was near dark, so I pulled off at the exit to the Statehouse, and pulled into a convenience store and gas station about a block
from the Statehouse.  I sat there for awhile, thinking about whether or not I should put my lights on.  I had still NEVER been harassed
ANYWHERE else in the entire state of WV EXCEPT Preston County, and I was a good 140 miles from there. 
but, given my so recent experience, I could actually still FEEL that shackle, and not sure if I got stopped I would get arrested again for
violating my bond 'conditions', I did give it some serious thought. I thought about HOW MUCH my LIBERTY is worth to me. I realized that
whatever the price for my FREEDOM OF SPEECH, I am willing to pay it! And, those vans are my ART - my heart and soul is in them.
While I was thinking, I was handing
out flyers, and chatting with folks who stopped to admire the van, take pics, and ask questions.  My vans are like little rock stars, they almost
always get attention.  I was telling some about being arrested that morning for a ticket for pink lights; you should have seen the jaws dropping,
the eyebrows going UP, and a few just cracking up LAUGHING - not at me, but with me <G>. One nice looking young man said he worked at
CH 13, so I gave him my card.  Then I turned on EVERY light I had (the 17 solar lights I had on the roof at that time had all come on by themselves,
anyway), and went over to the Statehouse and took a few pics.  BTW, I've been wondering ever since what in the name of dog WV does to
actual CRIMINALS???
 
  
 
I cruised Charleston a bit, then headed toward KY, and parked overnight at the Walmart in Hurricane, WV.  In the morning, I got a call from the news guy, they wanted to do a story!
He told me where in Charleston to come, and I headed back there.  A lovely lady named Alana did the story.  She LOVED the van, I could tell by the way her eyes lit up. She
wanted to go for a ride in it, so I cleared out the front seat for her, and we went cruising downtown Charleston, and over to the Statehouse while she did the story.  It's a shame
the link to it no longer works, she did a really great job.  It came out to a minute and 37 seconds, and was on the 6:00 PM Channel 13 news.
 
 
 

POSTED 5/21/13, I am on my way back to Kingwood, WV:
CLICK HERE - LATEST FROM THE COURT , and Click here for MY RESPONSE .
I have put some more of my thoughts about all this on my Facebook page over the past few days as well. If you don't hear from me for awhile, you will know why.
 
May 27, 2013  Well, folks, I am unexpectedly home again for only a day. Got in at about 1:30 am, and tomorrow AM I will be able to attend my
youngest son, Michael's, induction into the Marines. He's leaving for boot camp. They DID arrest me again in Kingwood, Thurs. eve (May 23),
but did not get to keep me as long as I thought they might. I have been writing about that one in longhand, in bits as I traveled home, and if ...
I can finish it tonight, will try to at least scan the handwritten version and post it at www.liberty van .com before I leave tomorrow, as the whole
experience was very interesting. Here is why I was pretty sure they would arrest me, and why I decided to accept that if necessary, in case
you didn't go to libertyvan.com to these links, here is what I posted there BEFORE I left for Kingwood this time,
 
Wed afternoon, 5/22, I went to court for a bond hearing in Kingwood, where my atty did succeed in getting my bond reduced from $2,500 to $500.
Mind, this is for a traffic ticket for having PINK lights on Freedom Van. I REFUSE to allow them to shut me down, so cruised there with lights on
both Wed AND Thurs night. Thurs afternoon, had a conversation with several 9 and 10 year old kids. They were asking questions, so I explained
a bit of it to them (why I was there in Kingwood). I am not meaning to disparage any handicapped people here, I am quoting a TEN year old girl
 - but her comment has been bringing a big smile to my face ever since, even had me chuckling out loud about 10 hours later, while sitting in a
regional jail (about 80 miles from Kingwood), in my sock feet (they took away my boots), and in handcuffs, and wondering if the strip search and
orange pajamas were next. She said to me, 'that's retarded!'. The nine year old boy said, 'it's stupid!'. God bless them, out of the mouths of babes.
THEY 'get it'! Shortly after I was laughing about this girl, they brought my boots, told me to put them on. I asked where I was going, she said, home.
 
Seems the regional jail people had sense enough to check and find out I had not actually committed ANY kind of jailable offense. Seems that they
actually DO NOT have the right to arrest people for minor traffic infractions, where there is only a FINE, and not any jail as a possible penalty. So,
rode 80 miles back to Kingwood, where the officer dumped me in front of Wal-Mart with nothing but my purse, at 4:30 am, in a freezing drizzle.
Freedom Van was still in the impound, and I was still almost 500 miles from home, I had to survive there for several hours till my atty got my van out
(and I had to pay $95 for it). Now, atty and I are working on figuring out exactly WHO to sue, and for how much. From the stories I've heard in Kingwood
over past year, the officer who arrested me the first time is already being sued by several - I will have to get in line. And, coincidence - found out the
lady officer who arrested me the 2nd time is his WIFE.
 
Really appreciate all the prayers.  Below, I am going to just put scans of my handwritten notes.  I have to leave again this evening (5/28) for court in
Carlisle, PA. http://www.libertyvan.com/FreedomVan/2013StPatricks/ , so just do not have time to type it all, but have had a real burden on my heart that
someone somewhere may need this (I have no idea who), also for those who may have wondered just what is going on in a head & heart like mine,
I have poured it out.  Have carried this notebook around with me for several days now, the Lord will not let me pay attention to anything else.  Somehow,
this has turned out to be one of the most spiritually liberating experiences I've had.  Sorry, spelling is not my forte, maybe some kind person who has
time might put it into a decent email or Word file, clean it  up, and when I get home again I'll find time to replace this.  I for some reason have a strong
burden to put it out there anyway.  I am leaving in just a bit for PA, and Carlisle.  I do not have an attorney there to assist me, and will be more than
800 miles from home.
 
There are also a couple of pics from this trip, plus a couple of me and my son, now a Marine.
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
 
     
 
   
 
    
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
 
   
 
 
    
 
 
Cost me $95 to get Freedom Van out of the impound, but at least it didn't look like they did anything to it.
 
JOY to be on the road again, DID stick around another day or so, and NEVER turning off lights in Preston County, WV again,
DAY OR night.  Not sure how that will go, as I still have more court dates there.
 
Did some wonderful Memorial weekend cruising on the way home, in Columbus, OH, on Sat. evening, and Louisville on Sun.
 
  
 
 
And I'm ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Since there is only me, and I'm on the road so much, my older pages may be out of date,
and may not work well with newer hardware/software/browsers.  Most of the older stuff
was done with IE.  I do not have the resources to test everything with everything, so
to serve the priority of getting info up, I am shifting to much more simple methods,
which SHOULD work with just about anything.  It may not be as 'pretty' as I could do it,
but given my time constraints, it's the best I can do.
 
Being on the road as much as I have been would probably be impossible, but 27 years
ago God blessed me with the most wonderful husband, John Farley.  He's a 'home body',
hates to go anywhere, but he agrees with me about EVERY WORD I put on those vans,
and he supports my every effort.  He fixes my lights on the vans, and helps me with
technical support at home.  We met when we shared an office at IBM - he's an engineer
(retired).  He holds the fort down here, caring for kids, grandkids, and of course the dogs.
Some of the kids help me from time to time with the vans, mostly with deconstruction,
when changing them from one season to another.  I pay them for their work, they are
not slave labor.  My 6 kids range in age from 43-18, and they are ALL AWESOME.
Only Michael, the youngest, is still at home, and he will be starting boot camp to
become a Marine in May, 2013.
 
"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
 against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand."  Ephesians 6:11-13 
 
I have pledged my life, my treasure, and my sacred honor to the service of God and my country.
 
THIS IS MY STAND.
