In other local arrest reports, a local man agreed to enter a guilty plea to a DUI charge on an ATV on Tuesday in Logan Magistrate Court.
Larry C. Walls Jr., 50, of Verner, was arrested on a warrant from Feb. 8, for the charges of DUI second, driving revoked for DUI, operating an ATV on the centerline of the road and no insurance by West Virginia State Trooper L.T. Goldie.
The incident occurred on Feb. 8, at 8:19 p.m., when Trooper Goldie responded and found a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix had struck a Yamaha ATV on Route 80.
The driver of the Grand Prix had been transported to Logan Regional Medical Center for treatment prior to Goldies arrival. Walls was still on scene and when Goldie spoke with him, he reportedly detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from him.
The report states that Walls reportedly failed some field sobriety tests and refused the others.
Later, Trooper Goldie discovered Walls’ license had been revoked for DUI in July 2007 for two prior DUI convictions. Operating an ATV on a centerlined highway is prohibited by state law.
Walls agreed on Aug. 31 to enter a guilty plea in Logan Magistrate Court.
Walls’ attorney Donna Pratt told Magistrate Leonard Codispoti that Walls had recently completed a mandated DUI class.
Walls agreed to pay restitution and was sentenced to 30 days on home confinement.
