Former Ranger busted for DUI

[fanficorama58]

Just saw this as I signed out of my Hotmail account, but as it turns out Walter Jones was recently arrested in Alabama for driving under the influence. It's not known what was in his system at the time, but he was taken in by state troopers at 4 A.M. in Huntsville, and without incident. Anyway for a few more details click here (http://tvguide.sympatico.msn.ca/TVNews/Articles/090728_power_ranger_dui_MH).

Oh... damn.

Is there a former PR actor/actress curse or something?

[Umemori Genta]

i don't think so this was just a case of him being stupid espically here in alabama

Of course it would be the black ranger to mess up first. Black Rangers *cough*Dillon*cough* have such emotional problems. XD

Seriously though, what is so hard about not drinking and driving? I am disappointed in Walter. Carelessly putting under drivers and maybe even pedestrians in danger, is not cool. :(

I must say though, he sure took a cute mugshot photo. That is almost an impossible feat. I saw his mugshot at a different site.

Eh, about that, a statement from the con he went to.


"The Walter Jones SituationShare
Today at 3:52pm
Ok since it's post con, and since someone at the Huntsville Police Department was out to make a quick buck, we can post this.

Sunday morning around 4 am, after leaving a gas station (where he'd stop to ask for directions), Walter was pulled over. The reason was written as "failure to dim headlights". I'm sure we all know with the current "taking back our highways" thing that they seem to be pulling people over for anything nowadays. Walter had not had any alcohol except for one beer late in the afternoon on saturday. The cop demanded for Walter to get out of his car (http://forums.henshinjustice.com/showthread.php?t=39459#), tried to pin a DUI on him. He forced a very competent and alert (obviously not drunk) Walter to perform the various field sobriety tests. For those that don't know, those tests consist of testing your balance, awareness, and even a breathalyzer (which checks how much alcohol is in your system).

Walter passed all of those tests with flying colors, and yet he was still handcuffed. He was not explained anything outside of that he was being arrested for DUI. Needless to say it was bogus. I will not state my personal opinion on this cop's motive for the arrest. However I will say that it is completely wrong, and the arresting officer is being looked into for this incident.

Walter was held at jail longer than he was supposed to. An innocent man was kept in an overcrowded jail which SHOULD be filled with Huntsville's ACTUAL criminals who are still walking (http://forums.henshinjustice.com/showthread.php?t=39459#) our streets this very second.

We are all saddened that Walter had to go through this, however he did the bail and got out. Then he was recommended to a wonderful lawyer who will be proving the actuality of this incident.

Walter is an innocent man, a responsible adult, and a good friend. I hope you will all continue to respect him and I hope that you will not allow a shady cop to ruin your memories of a fun weekend (http://forums.henshinjustice.com/showthread.php?t=39459#).

Now to address the issue of why we said Walter had "food poisoning" at Closing Ceremonies. The staff was prepared to tell the truth about the terrible injustice brought upon one of our beloved guests. However when I saw people filing in the closing ceremonies, i saw lots of very young kids. Whether you think I was right or wrong for this, I do not care; but I felt it was better to not state to small children (http://forums.henshinjustice.com/showthread.php?t=39459#) such an incident. For young kids it is really hard to understand this kind of situation (especially when we're all brought up thinking cops only get bad guys and protect innocent people). The situation was too much to explain and we would have rather kept young children from thinking their hero was a "bad guy". I hope you will all respect PersaCon's decision to do so.

Everything is getting worked out for Walter, however, the internet (http://forums.henshinjustice.com/showthread.php?t=39459#) is a powerful tool and it seems this story has spread like wildfire. What I would like to ask all of you is please repost this story/share the truth with anyone who may doubt Walter. He's a good friend and was a great guest at PersaCon. We are continuing to support him in this troubling situation and we hope you will too.

-Sincerely
Lauren Cullen and the PersaCon Staff"

I so thought you were going somewhere else with that. >_>

Wow this is crazy yo.

[Kamen Rider Tams]

Eh, about that, a statement from the con he went to.Poor Walter! If that is true! I take back what I said about him. He passed the test and all.

RM, That is exactly what I was going for. Expect the unexpected with my posts. Randomly random . . . as always. :nod:

Back in the day, one Thomas Oliver (black ranger) had emotional problems too. :ninja:

[S.I.C]

hmmm.....I meet Walter at AX and he is a very nice guy and I do believe that he passed all the test. I just hope people realize the truth and don't judge him on this one thing thats not even his fault.
