Tyler Walker makes court appearance: Professional race driver Tyler Walker pleaded guilty Tuesday in 5th District Court to two felony charges and three misdemeanors stemming from a high-speed law enforcement pursuit that began in Southern Nevada and continued for 60 miles past the Utah state line. Walker, whose full name is Timothy Tyler Andrew Walker, appeared in court wearing a black suit and a neatly trimmed haircut, something he was eager to showcase as a dramatic change from the dreadlocks, untucked shirt and long-sleeved flannel overshirt he wore at the time of his arrest. "It's a big difference, and I feel a lot better, and I'm in a lot better place," Walker said. "I just want to thank everybody who helped me out ... and also apologize to ... everybody who was on the road. And just let everybody know I'm doing everything I can to ... be healthy so this never happens again." Walker, 35, of Hermosa Beach, Calif., was arrested Jan. 30, 2013, after a Nevada Highway Patrol officer clocked the race car driver at 150 mph and Walker fled from pursuing officers instead of stopping. He reportedly drove around tire-puncturing strips as he was northbound into the mouth of the Virgin River Gorge and drove over tire-puncturing strips at the Utah state line. Walker pleaded guilty to two third-degree felonies and three misdemeanors under terms of the agreement with prosecutors. The felonies - failure to stop for an officer and possession or use of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) - each carry the possibility of up to five years in prison. The misdemeanors include impaired driving and possession of drug paraphernalia, which each could result to up to six months in jail, and open container of alcohol in vehicle, which carries a potential sentence of 90 days in jail. Judge Eric Ludlow scheduled sentencing for Feb. 23. Walker's attorney, Trevor Terry, said Walker has undergone extensive counseling and drug therapy since his arrest, and Walker said he has been working with a neurologist because of the lingering effects of brain injury that he has experienced.(The Spectrum)(12-24-2014)

Have they slobbered anyone to death?

Oh, good gravy. Pat just sidled up and said, “Can I do programming?”

I suppose I should let him, so he can support me in luxury in my old age with his geekish brilliance ...

ROFLMAO!!!

My Brother sent that card- My 1st thought was It’s Molly!

Have a Great one Sir, I’m off to make Sugar Cookies for Mama and start on 6 loaves of Challah bread for the VFD Guys around the corner to deliver in the AM.

I figure they probably get plenty of cookies from others.

Always good to make sure the VFD Guys know who/where Ya are;)

[mabarker1]

Not yet, but they have abath towel by the water tank for as I call it “Drippy Lip” (kinda looks like a Hippo pulling it’s head out of the water)

If You don’t want the backup fund send ‘em up here.

[mabarker1]

Maybe 3 “country” blocks for Us. Had them here the other week for a possible CO problem, everything tested fine. I think I freaked them out a bit by calling the 7 digit # instead of 911

Merry Christmas to you and to all a Good Night

Just watched “ The Day “ on Fox

bawled like a baby

[Chode]

question... what does that do?

[mabarker1]

Not sure what You are talking about.

The 7 digit # vs the 911?

If that is it that is a direct call to the VFD as opposed to sending the whole World (VFD/SD/EMS/SP) to the location. I WAS CALLING ABOUT AN NON-EMERGENCY situation. Just wanted them to stop by with a CO Detector and check things out.
