Need help with probate in West Virginia?
Driving through from PA back to Ohio following traffic flow not knowing I actually was 13 miles over the 55 limit when I was anxiously looking for an exit to use the Men's room after I took the water pill for my diabetes condition. Called the court and told the lady to plead no contest. She made me holding for like 5 minutes, and said it is $180.25 penalty finally. I asked why no contest on the citation choice to plead and no explanation was needed to give. She said no contest is as guilty. I guess the Ohio County just want your money. Drive carefully through that county, and of course all. I guess Ohio County is a poor county needing the money, just like the poor city of Lockland in Hamilton County generating a lot of money through ticket writings a few years ago. I'll drive more carefully.
So I went into Magistrate courthouse today. I was greeted at the door by a deputy of the Ohio County Sheriff's dept. Well, the issue I had concerns the Sheriff's dept so I sat down & started to explain the situation. The deputy seemed eager to help me but we were interrupted by a morbidly obese woman who came from the back. We must have interrupted one of her many snack breaks because she had a large amount of BBQ sauce dripping from her lips. She was very loud & started explaining the purpose of the Sheriff's dept. As if I dont know they are paid by me to protect me. I dont know if she is an elected official or a Magistrate's secretary but she should be fired.
