Resolution

I never heard from Chief Guy ("Guy? That's....that's definitely a guy's name.") yesterday. So I wrote him this morning.

Dear Chief Guy, As you recall, I was at the city hall yesterday to speak with Ms. Peake and yourself about my situation regarding a ticket I received on 19 April. The ticket in question was for $450 and it's reference number was 39884EP. I appeared in court on 12 May and had the ticket reduced to $133.90 and the charge to careless operation from reckless driving. I had until 11 June to pay the $133.90 plus a $35.00 charge for setting up the payment plan. On Sunday, 7 June, I was arrested on a bench warrant for the $450.00 and had to spend the night in jail pending the Wellford court opening and verifying my paperwork that I had had the ticket reduced. I came to speak to you yesterday to request that the reduced ticket be suspended because of the mistake that was made, which endangered the well-being of my disabled mother, who was left alone while I was being detained. You informed me that the reckless driving charge had been dropped, my record expunged, and the points would be returned to my license. You also said that, at 3 PM, you'd speak to the judge who, you were certain, would suspend the reduced fine in question. You gave me your card so that I could call and email you to find out what my case's status is. I called and left you a message, but you can either call or email me. If my fine is suspended, I'd appreciate something in writing, if you don't mind. I am supposed to pay this by tomorrow, so I'm a little nervous about what the status is. I don't want another bench warrant issued over another misunderstanding. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I really appreciate all of your help. Kind Regards, Tracy A. Evans (864) 252-7531

I just got a response back.

As to the Reckless Driving citation, the SC DMV was notified on June 9, 2009 to recall that citation. It may take several days (depending on the DMV) for this citation to be removed from your driving record, however, it will be removed. I did speak with the judge regarding the careless operation citation. You are not required to pay the fine as the judge has agreed to suspend that fine amount. You do not have a balance owed to the City of Wellford. If yo have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

 

Respectfully yours,

 

Chris Guy, Chief of Police

So I get to keep the money. I'm going to Disneyland.

It doesn't happen often that getting arrested can work in your favor.

You basically spent the night in lock up to keep your money.

SILVER LINING, TIN...SILVER LINING!

And I almost got my hair corn rowed. Aaaaand, this is great source material for future writings.

Cheers for Chief Guy! (The only sane member of the department???)

"That's..that's definitely a guy's name." Sorry, every time I see or hear his name. GAH! That's irritating.

Yes, he's sane and so is the mayor. I'm still wondering about the judge who issued the original bench warrant though. I'm planning on writing them both a thank you note for their help. Gotta keep the PR up, you know.

Oh absolutely!

Lotta people in public offices like that rarely get "thank you"'s, so it's always worthwhile doing. If nothing else, it makes them feel good, and it may pay off down the line.

Anyone with any sort of "power" appreciates that. I learned that doing agent work for Kilmoulis and precipitating the Big Push for the Shrieks a few years back.

WOOT!

when i was in elementary school, we got a new principal, and his name was guy j. evans. he is who i think of every time i see the name 'guy,' as either first or last haha.

::snicker::

I can't imagine the hell of being around a Guy all the time right now. It's bad enough I have a cat named Steve.

[gunslingaaahhh.livejournal.com]

ew cats I MEAN AWW, STEEEEEEVE.

well, he was mr evans to us, since we were kids, but my mum always used to yell at me because i was 8 running around all "WHAT KIND OF A NAME IS GUY?! THAT ISNT A NAME!" haha it was embarrassing i guess.

none of my animals or children are going to have such ordinary names as 'steve.' that ... i just ... it goes against everything i stand for hahahha.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Well, he just looked like a Steve when he came to me a few years ago.

Evans? That's...that's my name. You may now call me Ms. Evans.

[gunslingaaahhh.livejournal.com]

no.






=D

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I knew I'd get that answer.

[gunslingaaahhh.livejournal.com]

haha that and i hate being told what to do ;)

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Jeez you are Batman, aren'tcha? Well, I hate being told what to do, too. Sith are notorious for hating that. The whole 'my master' bit is nothing but sarcasm, trust me. What it means is, 'someday I will strike you down, you fugly bastard.'

[gunslingaaahhh.livejournal.com]

hahahahaha

[jadecat.livejournal.com]

As it should be! :)

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

I thought the same thing.

[mladypain.livejournal.com]

I never realized that the Chief's last name was 'Guy'! I had in my mind that was his first name (kinda like, Chief Bubba lol). Now I'm wondering if he's a cousin of mine???

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

You're name is Guy? That's a guy's name.

[mladypain.livejournal.com]

Well, I do have my butch moments :P

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

LOL! What with one person having a girl crush on me because of how I write J and now you, I'm gonna have to seriously consider experimenting.

[rheyamorgaine.livejournal.com]

you know I usually prefer redheads, but damn woman you look sexxah. Even Sir said so when he saw me drooling and came to see what the fuss was about.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Seriously? I'm just good with a camera.

[rheyamorgaine.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY. And yes, I've seen some of your less flattering pics.
