Montgomery County Circuit Court, Aug. 30: Billy Joe Hampton, the paroled murderer who faces charges in Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina in connection with a February and March crime spree, was indicted on charges of maliciously wounding and robbing an elderly McCoy garage owner.
He was also indicted on charges of carjacking, abducting and maliciously wounding a Maryland woman.
Hampton was returned to Virginia last month after pleading guilty in North Carolina to abducting a woman from a shopping center. He received a 30-year prison sentence there.
Hampton is also scheduled to appear in Pulaski County Circuit Court in December on charges involving the November 1993 severe beating and robbery of a Hazel Hollow Road man. He also faces a rape and abduction charges in West Virginia.
At the time of the alleged offenses, Hampton was on parole from a prison sentence for the 1975 murder of a 95-year-old Montgomery County woman.
\ Pulaski County Circuit Court, Sept. 1: A Pulaski couple pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine. They also entered a plea to possession of more than five pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute.
Orville William "Dave" Davis, 35, was sentenced to serve 15 years in prison. His wife, Pamela D. Wyatt Davis, was sentenced to serve two years of a 10-year prison sentence.
Everett Shockley, Pulaski County's commonwealth's attorney, said the charges came about after the Pulaski County Drug Task Force received information that the Davises were selling a large amount of marijuana from their home on Bob White Boulevard. Last December, task force members entered the home and seized more than 20 pounds of marijuana with a $64,000 street value. Several grams of cocaine were also seized.
The Davises also forfeited almost $2,000 in cash and a 1970 Monte Carlo, Shockley said.
\ Floyd County Circuit Court, Sept. 1:An attempted murder charge against Ervin Leroy Richardson was taken under advisement for five to 10 years.
Richardson was charged with trying to kill a neighbor, Suki Milani, who intervened as Richardson fought with his mother in June 1993. He was also charged with using a firearm to commit the offense and possessing a firearm after being convicted of a felony.
The charges were taken under advisement with strict conditions that Richardson continue to receive medication for an organic mental disorder and provide receipts monthly to show that he is getting the medicine.
Other conditions include that he have counseling if directed by Mental Health Services; that he have no access to guns or alcoholic beverages; and that he have no contact with Milani and her family.
