CORRECTIONS
There were errors in a MetroNews story May 12 about Suffolk
resident Robert V. Gallup, a nudist who was charged with indecent
exposure May 10.
The story incorrectly reported that, in an earlier case, he was
convicted of indecent exposure and received a 12-month suspended
jail sentence. Court records show that in that 1988 case, the judge
took the matter under advisement - agreeing to dismiss the charge if
Gallup had no offenses for 12 months. The charge was dismissed in
January 1990.
The story attributed the incorrect information to attorney Claude
Scialdone. In fact, he was not contacted about this latest charge
against Gallup. Although Scialdone has represented Gallup in other
cases, he did not do so in the 1988 case.
An obituary Thursday on Marie A. Tsitouris, 25, of Prince George
County was false. The obituary was confirmed by a caller who
identified himself as a representative of Bucktrout Funeral Home in
Williamsburg. Gary Henningers, manager of Bucktrout Funeral Home,
says his firm is unaware of the death of Marie A. Tsitouris and has
had no dealings with the Tsitouris family. A man who identified
himself as a brother of the deceased authorized the obituary.
Efforts to reach the family have been unsuccessful.
Identifications of a Cadillac Fleetwood and Buick Roadmaster were
reversed in a caption Friday in the Auto Weekly section.
