Such a shame. They would be pretty upset to only find half empty water bottles in mine though.
LOCK UP EVEN IN DAYTIME. ALWAYS...
Neighbor said I had a truck pull into my driveway at 2:40 AM last night. Neighbor said a black Chevy Silverado pulled into my driveway and knocked on our door and then got in his truck and left. Don’t know anybody with a black Silverado. May be staking out the neighborhood or something.

I was at work at the Greene County daycare center and somebody broke into my car and took my damn pocketbook days later my pocketbook was found at Wells Fargo at Fashion Square Mall so whoever broke into my pocketbook I had to have known them but if I ever catch you I got something really for you you may not like it but who cares

Pretty simple to just lock your damn car doors. Nothing like tying up deputies with these stupid calls because people are too lazy to secure their vehicles.

Great news!
***SHOP WITH A COP SIGN UP****
Our office will be accepting registrations from Greene County residents for our annual Shop With A Cop on Friday, October 1st from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, October 2nd from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Registration is required on those dates at the American Legion Hall, 636 Madison Road, Stanardsville, VA.
NO REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER OCTOBER 2nd!!
What is the process? I don’t know anything about this event?
Is this for Christmas ?
Child Passenger Safety Week is scheduled for September 19-25, 2021.
National data indicates that car crashes are a leading cause of death for children.
On average, two children under 13 were killed and an estimated 374 were injured every day in 2019 while riding in cars, SUVs, pickups, and vans. Nationally, 608 child passenger vehicle occupants died in traffic crashes in 2019. 38% of children who died in 2019 while riding in passenger vehicles were unrestrained, compared to 33% in 2018.
Read this, then read it again. Nationally 38% of 608 child passenger deaths were unrestrained. That’s hard to ingest. Seatbelts take seconds to put on and can save years of someone’s life. Even JUST going down the road a short way, JUST going to the store…it takes seconds to buckle your children in.
Buckle your children in......they're worth it!
****UPDATE****
Angie Martinez Garcia has been found and is safe. Thank you Virginia State Police and US Marshals for their efforts in locating her.

Forever in my thoughts and prayers. But my thought on this is,what a way to dishonor the Americans that gave their lives to save other Americans on this day, then to bring refugees from that country and put the American people in harms way again. Way to go Biden

That is the way it was done all over the south. I remember when I was younger Drivers would stop and show respect to the deceased. It needs to be the law. I think it is the law but one on the book that is not upheld anymore.

The 2021 impaired driving national enforcement mobilization "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" goes into effect across the country from August 18 to September 6, 2021. One of the deadliest and most often committed - yet preventable - of crimes (impaired driving), has become a serious safety epidemic in our country.
Avoid the nightmare of dealing with a DUI. If you're old enough to drink make sure you have a designated driver. Keep yourself and your community safe.
#ActLikeItVA
There are always drunk drivers on Spring Hill Rd. I have called these in several times and the operator hasn't ever sent an officer. One night I followed the guy to his house in the North Ridge Neighborhood. He drove in the left lane the entire way up Spring Hill Rd. When he got home, he didn't even get out of his vehicle or turn off the engine. He probably passed out and stayed there all night. It is disgusting to me that it isn't worth their time. If someone was brandishing a weapon they would be right on it. Drunk driving is just as deadly, but not taken seriously unless someone is hurt or killed.

Man gets 12 life sentences for rape of 9 year old
dailyprogress.com
A Barboursville man was sentenced Tuesday to 12 life sentences for raping a minor across a month and a half in 2019.They should allow the parents to "purge the predator" and save the taxpayers $
Its a shame they did away with the whipping post. Turns my stomach.
Good. About time a predator gets an appropriate sentence...
Getting him to face a wall like the Soviets did would be more fitting
Wow took my post down.. it’s sad you can’t voice your opinion about something when it’s facts..His ex-wife Crystal Fitz had knowledge that he was a predator and did nothing the sheriffs department was made aware in 2009 by the previous administration and did nothing there could’ve been a lot done to prevent this you guys will not keep me quiet no matter how much you keep deleting my post off of here
It’s a shame u took a friends comment down.. freedom of speech not allowed in green?? Or does the truth hurt since u all were worned about this in 2009.. Randall Sneed was told and did nothing....
He should get castrated and both his hands chopped off as well!!
Let’s all do our part to make sure our children stay safe during the school year

This is only a test.
DA 21-955
Released: August 5, 2021
PUBLIC SAFETY AND HOMELAND SECURITY BUREAU ISSUES REMINDER OF UPCOMING NATIONWIDE TEST OF THE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM AND
OPT-IN WIRELESS EMERGENCY ALERTS ON AUGUST 11, 2021
PS Docket Nos. 15-91, 15-94
The Federal Communications Commission‘s (FCC or Commission) Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) reminds all Emergency Alert System (EAS) Participants, Participating Commercial Mobile Service (CMS) Providers, and the public that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in coordination with the FCC, will conduct a nationwide test of the EAS and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) at 2:20 p.m. EDT on August 11, 2021, with a backup date of August 25, 2021. The Bureau also reminds EAS Participants of upcoming filing deadlines associated with the nationwide test and notes ongoing Bureau efforts to promote alerting accessibility.
Filing Deadlines
EAS Participants must file Form Two, providing “day of test” data, in the EAS Test Reporting System (ETRS) on or before August 12, 2021. EAS Participants must file ETRS Form Three, providing detailed post-test data, on or before September 27, 2021. Additional information, including instructional videos and answers to frequently asked questions about entering data into the ETRS forms, can be found at www.fcc.gov/general/eas-test-reporting-system.
Audio and Video Messages
This year, FEMA will transmit the EAS portion of the nationwide test through a hierarchical, broadcast based distribution system, otherwise known as the “daisy chain.” The purpose of this approach is to determine the capability of the EAS to deliver messages to the public in the event that dissemination via the Internet is not available.
The public should be aware that full message text and multilingual messaging will not be available due to the over the air message delivery and relay used in this system of EAS message dissemination.
Further, with regard to the accessibility of the test message, we note that the content of the message will not be identical for aural and visual purposes. While the televised visual EAS message text displayed will vary depending on the station, it will include, at a minimum, the Originator, Event, Location, the valid time period of the message and the local time the message was transmitted. For example, the text may read: “A Primary Entry Point system has issued a National Periodic Test for all of the United States beginning at 2:20 PM and ending at 2:50 PM on AUG 11, 2021 (station id).”
This visual message will be accompanied by a longer audio message containing additional information. The audio message will state: “This is a test of the National Emergency Alert System. This system was developed by broadcast and cable operators in voluntary cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Communications Commission, and local authorities to keep you informed in the event of an emergency. If this had been an actual emergency an official message would have followed the tone alert you heard at the start of this message. No action is required.”
The Bureau recognizes the importance of ensuring accessibility of these critical messages and acknowledges the disparity between the text and the audio message. The Bureau is working with FEMA to examine potential technical solutions that can address the differences between the audio and visual messages for future nationwide tests and other potential measures to promote greater accessibility of the EAS for all Americans, including people with disabilities. The Bureau intends to open an initiative on potential measures for action by the agency this year.

Registered Sex Offender Arrested And Charged With Production Of Child Pornography
BUFFALO, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced today that Juan Quinones-Rivera, 39, was arrested and charged by criminal complaint with production of child pornography. The charge carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years in prison, a maximum of 30 years and a $250,000 fine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Caitlin M. Higgins, who is handling the case, stated that on April 21, 2021, New York State Parole contacted the FBI after a parole officer, while conducting a search of defendant’s room, discovered that he had a cell phone, which was a violation of his parole. During a cursory search of the device, the parole officer located Snapchat chats and text messages between Quinones-Rivera and a female (Victim). A subsequent search of the phone recovered numerous images and videos of suspected child pornography. In addition, investigators recovered sexually explicit text conversations between the defendant and Victim, during which Quinones-Rivera requested and received approximately 50 videos and photos from the Victim. In May 2021, the FBI contacted the Greene County, Virginia Sheriff's Office for assistance in identifying the Victim. After doing so, investigators searched the Victim’s cell phone and located an image that was also found on the defendant’s phone.
The complaint is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Stephen Belongia; the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, under the direction of Acting Commissioner Anthony J. Annucci; the Town of Tonawanda Police Department, under the direction of Chief James Stauffiger; and the Greene County, Virginia Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Steven Smith.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
We want more Chris
