12-years ago, he was convicted of running down two Roanoke city firefighters and a woman.
Now he's back in trouble with the law.
In May, Roanoke County Police arrested Roger Lee White, on charges of possession of cocaine.
He failed to appear for a June court date.
The Commonwealth's attorney's office says White fled to West Virginia where he was arrested last Thurday.
He is now in the Roanoke County Jail.

White was convicted of manslaughter in 1986 for plowing through an emergency scene killing Captain Robert Cassell
(Ca-Sell), firefighter Harvey Helms and Brenda Downs.

He spent 18 months of a 10 year sentence in jail for that crime.
[SUPER=03-Roanoke/August 1993;]

In 1993 he pled "no contest" to possession of crack cocaine, which violated his probation, and was sentenced to another jail term.

A grand jury will hear abduction and malicious wounding charges against a Lynchburg man.
Police say 57-year old John Major Haygood attacked a woman at knifepoint outside the emergency room at Lynchburg General Hospital in April.
Lynchburg General's former security director says the hospital's security cameras should have caught the incident on tape.

(( 133 years ago, Charlottesville's mayor and some University of Virginia professors put pragmatism over pride, bucked the boisterous local opposition, and surrendered the city to the Union's Third Cavalry Division, led by General George Armstrong Custer.
[NAT SOT tape one 21:16:13]
((WE'LL PRESENT YOU WITH THE KEYS TO THE CITY.)) [runs:02]
Perhaps it was the image of Virginia Military Institute, shelled and burned by Union troops the preceding summer, that prompted the pragmatism.
General Custer, however, posted guards and for the brief time of occupation, became the protector of one of America's most significant architectural achievements.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO COOK TODAY? Peach Blueberry Cobbler. OKAY LET'S GET STARTED. FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO IS, get out a pan that you want to serve it in doesn't matter if it is round, square or rectangular. ALRIGHT DAD WENT AHEAD AND GREASED IT. Yep thank you father. You take six peaches and peel them and then we are going to chop them up pretty small. It does'mt matter what size you get them they are all going to melt together. YOU CAN'T REALLY SKIMP. I KNOW WHEN YOU MAKE SOMETHINGS YOU CAN LEAVE THE PEELS ON, BUT WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE PEELS OFF. If you don't want to take the time what you can do is dump them into boiling water for about fifteen to twenty seconds and the peels will slide right off. OKAY, AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAN I GUESS THE FIRST THING TO PUT IS THE BLUEBERRIES? Yep we will put in a pint of blueberries. WE ARE GOING TO PUT IN THE BLUEBERRIES AND THEN COVER THEM WITH ALL SIX OF OUR PEACHES. WE GOT ALL OUR PEELED AND SLICED PEACHES AND WE ARE JUST GOING TO PUT THEM ON TOP. YOU ARE ALSO GOING TO DO SOME SUGAR RIGHT? That is right we are going to sprinkle it with two tablespoons of sugar. Now we are going to make the topping for the cobbler. What we are going to do is mix together flour, sugar, and baking powder which I already put in there. We are going to crack an egg and mix this with a fork. You want to get it where it's wet all the way through. Be careful and don't mix it to much. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU MIX IT TO MUCH. I think that it gets to tough. SO YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE IT KIND OF CRUMBLY. I think that is really about enough. See it looks kinda mealy. DO YOU WANT TO PUT IT ON TOP OF THAT? What you want to do now is spread it evenly across your fruit. THIS MAKES THE COBBLER PORTION. Sure does. Starting to look good Andrew? YEAH. You know what I think that you can make this recipe with any kind of fruit that you like. There you go smooth it out. Okay we have a few more things to do before we are done. THIS WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO ADD A LITTLE FAT ON THE TOP OF IT. Fat, okay here goes the butter. Okay we have about five and a third tablespoons of butter. ALMOST A WHOLE STICK? Yes, we are going to drizzle it on top, don't worry if it doesn't look to even it will all come out in the end. And then what we are going to do is sprinkle it with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Put lots of it on to cover up your cobbler really well. OH IT LOOKS GOOD. THE NEXT STEP IS TO BAKE IT IN THE OVEN. THE OVEN WAS ALRAEDY PREHEATED TO 350 DEGREES. What we are going to do is bake it for 15 minutes at 350 degrees and then we are going to change the temperature to 400 degrees. OKAY LET'S GET OUT OF THE WAY AND PUT THIS IN THE OVEN.. WHOOPS!! Okay our fifteen minutes is up. Turn the oven up to 400 degrees for another fifteen minutes.LOOKS WONDERFUL. Yeah and it smells good to doesn't it. OKAY IT SMELLS WONDERFUL YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET ALL THE JUICES IN THERE. MOM AFTER COOKING FOR ME FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS, THANKS FOR CONTINUING TO COOK FOR ME.

[OUT Q=CBS NEWS WASHINGTON]
(( Anticipating Supreme Court Justice William Renquist's ruling, Secret Service agents were called to the federal courthouse by Independent counsel Ken Starr moments before the decision came down.
From the beginning of this bitter legal battle over Secret Service testimony in the Monica Lewinsky case, the Justice Department has claimed that the security of the President of United States is at issue.

(graphic) But in his decision, Renquist said he refused to halt the
agents testimony because "_ the applicant has not demonstrated that denying the stay _would cause irreparable harm."
But earlier in the day, the President, while still trying to distance himself from the investigation, disagreed.

(SOT/President Clinton) "This case is about their ??? judgment and what
is necessary for them to do their job, and I have not been involved with that in any way shape or form."
And that's why the Administration will seek to have the full Supreme Court review the issue of the so-called Secret Service protective function Privilege later this year. Leading Republicans agree the issue has merit but took the Clinton administration to task for continuing to pursue the subject.

(SOT/Sen. Orin Hatch/R-UT) "I can't imagine why they would do that after
what they have seen in both the district court of appeals and with the rejection of the stay by justice renquist - it seems to me that just smacks of another fruitless appeal for delay."
In the meantime, there was no further delay in Secret Service testimony which began late in the afternoon.

It was a good year for state coffers.
State revenues were officially up 175 million dollars over last year's projection.
It's NOT the quarter BILLION dollars members of the House Appropriations Committee hoped for in May.
But it is an impressive 10-point-4 percent growth over last year's revenues.
The credit goes mostly to Wall Street and individual income tax payments to the state.

Yesterday, Pop-N-Fresh, the Pillsbury Dough Boy and Sprout from Green Giant stopped by the Second Harvest Food Bank. They were on-hand to help receive money from Kroger and Pillsbury. The companies donated 13-thousand dollars to help fight hunger. Over 5-hundred agencies in Southwest Virginia will benefit from the gift. (------------) The children present were from one of the organizations that will receive meals thanks to those funds.
