GlenP, you need to realize the truth. The chiefs nickname for you is "retard". I dont know why you defend him so much. I have no axe to grind with you. I just post what I know.

You, "whos who" whoever you think you are, owe Sheila and Glen an apology.

To everyone else, I will be glad when the real candidates start talking in here. I am getting tired of reading what these self appointed sidewalk supervisors/armchair coaches or clowns like "whos who" have to say!

Its always been sir, yes sir, or my first name whenever Haymarket's Police Chief Jim Roop has ever spoken to me; its always been total respect!

I am sorry GlenP. I am sorry for the servers who have to bring the buckets of feed to your table when you go out to eat, I’m sorry for the poor springs in your mattress, I am sorry for the engine in your car that has to struggle to get you places. GlenP please answer me one question. Is it true that you and Sheila were kicked out of an "All you can eat" buffet for consuming to much food? And as far as breaking the law, we could argue all day long about VA code, but you have to admit you two together break the "laws of nature". Just something for you to think about.

Just in case you didn't notice -

This section is for REAL News articles. Not the ones that you believe happened or the ones that you have made up.

Also - If you locate the REAL news articles from 2004 (you obviously are reaching for good press on the Chief) you will find out that the Bicycle safety program was NOT the Chief's idea but State Farms.

Please get your facts straight. You are starting to remind me of Glen P with all your wrong facts. :-)

Just FYI.

1) So, "watchdog", tell all, was this 'police impersonator' case the result of an on going police investigation or the result of a coincidence?

2) You obviously have a problem with anyone who does post some good and real news about Haymarket's Police Chief Jim Roop.

3) My gosh, news from two years ago seems to follow with whatever the person had in mind when he or she created this 'Haymarket Officer Hoffman catches police impersonator', which, according to the author of this particular topic, happened approximately two (2) years ago. Note: April 5, 2006 - 'Haymarket Officer Hoffman catches police impersonator' topic is missing from the townofhaymarket.info unofficial web site.

4) Why not put up the story of when Haymarket Police Officer Avey (I think that is how is name is spelled), who performed CPR that saved a man's life (heart attack victim) a few years ago? After all, he like Robert Hoffman, is a former Haymarket Police Officer.

5) And in another unrelated event, I heard that, at one time (don't know if its still there) there was a quantity of cocaine in the evidence room at the Haymarket Police Department a few months or years ago; why not post that story and the Police Officers involved with that case?

And, Haymarket's Police Chief Jim Roop did and does recognize the need for a bicycle safety course/program. And you now have the facts about the teenager, his parents, and Haymarket's Police Chief Jim Roop, all of which was witnessed by a resident of Haymarket.

But, What I am wondering where exactly in the story that I wrote does it say that it was Police Chief Jim Roop's "idea". After all must I remind you that you wrote - "This section is for "REAL News articles". "Not ones that you believe happened or ones that you made up." And seeing how you insert things like "idea" and in one of your other comments "dog" when neither are mentioned or implied in either of my stories, you certainly do have a tendency to add to; take away from; and to bend the truth for some reason.

I see nothing irregular in reporting that Police Chief Jim Roop was witnessed in support of such a program, and that he recognized the need for such a program.

You Go Dog! Woof Woof!!

WOW...this sounds awfully familiar to the bust that happened on Jefferson Street one cold Friday night, where Officer Kenworthy, Reserve Officer Benjamin and Reserve Officer Levy made the exact same type of arrest. What a coincidence! That was a heroin arrest and juvenile arrest.

But in my story, Roop was at home with his drug dog and didn't come out to assist. He didn't want the dog to come into a house where needles were present. He was called by one of the officers to bring the dog out, but refused.

A few days later, the Chief did get involved, but only because child protective services came out to investigate the welfare of the minor.

So, keep posting your anecdotes to praise the Chief and dog. I will then search through notes to find the real details and insert the names of the actual officers involved.

Please do not tell me that you are having a problem with Police Chiefs and Police Officers having contacts. Especially contacts who, in this case, the teenager had done some residential chores weeks before the arrest and sometime around the time resident M filed a complaint.

Got anything else to falsely accuse others of, watchdog, whoever you are.

Its like you and skinsfan have stated before, responsibility usually comes from the top. I am gonna add, it takes teamwork - to include residents and the police department to end and prevent crime. Like utilitarianist said and I am saying now, the Chief was conducting an investigation weeks before the arrest.

And I certainly do not know how much noteworthy information that the Chief collected. I know one thing, the teenager did the chores around here, without incident or illegal activity. However, my guess would be at this point-in-time, and from what you have posted, although the Chief or Sergeant should be posting tasks, if the case is lost in court then the Chief is not responsible. And, I would have to agree, especially if he was off duty and at his home.

Like I said, I do not know all the details but it all together ended the illegal drug problem from that source. And I am not saying that it did not include Kenworthy, Benjamin, and Levy. Nor would I post all that I know in here, not to say that I know anything; not in this informal/unofficial forum nor any other place like it.

If there was an investigation going on at that house, wouldnt you think the HPD officers would be notified. At least to watch out for anything the Chief was "so called " investigating. But none of the 3 officers mentioned know anything about an investigation prior to the drug incident. It seems like the Chief was putting a fast one by you.

Whos who, I am sorry, I really do not want to respond back to you.

You have already made a fool of yourself in your stupid attempt to have Sheila and Glen charged with your criminal law; one that is not a statute in the state of Virginia.

And, I really do mean that I waste my time each time I respond to your accusations, your input; and you know nothing about what you speak of.

Read what you want, say what you want; my ears to you are deaf.

i don't think this is an effort to have anyone charged with anything. you don't even know who made the forum topic in the first place. i believe whos who is only giving his or her imput on the fact that you are living with someone that you aren't married to, which is against the law, the same way you give your imput on everyone else's life that gets thrown on this site. if you can't take it, then you need to stop trashing others. what goes around - comes around.

As far as those who have been charged with violating Virginia's laws, shame on them. It is not my problem. It does not involve me.

Here you go "tell it like it is", please help "whos who" by picking out a nice color for his fornication police department's officer. Incidentally, I doubt that Haymarket will appropriate money for the fornication officers budget.

NOTE: This comment made by myself was in response to comments made by "whos who" and "tell it how it is"(whoever these people are) under the topic "GlenP" (originally posted as a topic by "whos who") that for some reason was removed from townofhaymarket.info.

GlenP sounds like your taking your ball and going home. If you want to call someone a fool, look in the mirror. I have made very good points and you can only reply in circles. You seem to me to be a person who was bullied as a child. I’m sorry for that, maybe you should get counseling. Glen I thought you knew that a good listener is better than a good talker. Instead of getting red faced at your computer, take constructive criticism.

The state Supreme Court yesterday struck down as unconstitutional a 19th-century Virginia law making it a crime for unmarried couples to have sex.

"We find no principled way to conclude . . . that the Virginia statute criminalizing intercourse between unmarried persons does not improperly abridge a personal relationship that is within the liberty interest of persons to choose," said the decision, written by Justice Elizabeth B. Lacy.

The ruling strikes down a law criminalizing fornication as a Class 4 misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $250. The law had been on the books since the early 1800s but has not been enforced against consenting adults since 1847, lawyers said. The court based yesterday's ruling on a 2003 U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning an anti-sodomy law in Texas.

Great, when are you gonna start sending comments back that are not ones where you have insert words, phrases, and meaning that simply do not exist in the other person's comment. In your mind, you design your comebacks to throw off the original meaning of postings that others have taken the time to write about. I bet I had better not hold my breathe in anticipation.

Resident7 is keeping it real and truthful. Tell it how it is.

So tell me again where you read in the story I posted where I mentioned anything about a dog being involved.

Resident7 I really wanted to believe all the bullsh__ you and about four other screen names where posting in here, but all I am left with on each and every thing I read is ..... Where you all are persistently bending the facts and inserting false statements over and over again in an ongoing effort to make Haymarket's Police Chief Jim Roop look bad.

Utilitarianist,

I haven't seen the Chief lead anything but his dog to take a leak at Pace!

What night in 2005? Do you just make this stuff up? Joint police task force? So what you mean is that Prince William County had to respond because the Chief wasn't logged on at Dispatch to take calls like he supposed to be. I really doubt the Chief was working the night you suggest.

If so, what date? What is the address of the call and where is the proof?

Just remember - Always on Guard

No Comment. Try asking me the time of day sometime.

I see where you are still twisting words and phrases around, along with making up alleged incidents to make Haymarket of Virginia's Chief Jim Roop look bad.

I learned tonight that Town Council Member Robert Weir was contacted sometime during the incident and was involved.

WTF???

Yup, he can be a genuinely good person - but that doesn't make him leadership material for the Town's police force.

I second that, Resident.

Residents of the small town of Haymarket were joyfully surprised today. What was the occasion? They spotted Chief Roop driving arrive town today. However, their joy was short lived when he was later seen out of his vehicle at Town Hall. Residents soon realized that he was in plain clothes and driving his personal automobile.

Resident Nancy Jones states, "I'm sure we will pay for his visit to the town today anyway. I hear he always puts in his timesheets whether he is at work or not." Another passerby states, "I just don't think it is right for us taxpayers to pick up the tab all the time."

As you can see, just another day in this lovely small town for the citizens of Haymarket.

Now there's a more believable article for you Utilitarianist!

Just remember - Always on Guard

I have no reason to believe or not to believe that these people said that they saw Haymarket's Police Chief Jim Roop today.

Do I need to post Ian Shapiro's written article in The Washington Post - paraphrased and quoted from Official Police Reports on this web page too in response to your comment about the "trumped up accusations". That aint no question either - its a statement.

I would head to Charles Town Slots for a night out gambling or Atlantic City or Las Vegas or North Carolina. But wait if I owned the establishment, at those locations I could legally take a percentage of the "put up" or "buy in" money so I could go on to a table where I could place anties and wagers. Even at those locations there are armed guards with badges who look after the house's money, usually kept in a brief case or other types of money bags.

They're all at the poker game
