What is a HSAGO you ask? Well simply put, it is a Harry Simmons assisted Get Off. Of course that relates to the crash that Krista and I had this past summer as that S&^t head hit us and ran us off the road on the return leg from the national.
Here is the body of the letter that I sent to Mr. Miller, the DA for Tucker Couty, WV and his response to me:
Mr. Miller,
I received the copy of the arrest report for Harry SimmonsÔÇÖ involvement with my motorcycle accident in Thomas, WV on 23 July, 2007. I am surprised that it does not make mention of my 18 year old daughter, Krista Hebert, who was my passenger during the time of the accident. I feel that the judge may want to be aware that she was involved as well. Mr. Simmons could have seriously injured or killed both of us. Krista, a freshman at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), is studying in the field of health care professions. She wants to be a rehabilitation/physical/occupational therapist. Krista also has her sites set on graduate school/medical school. She was a valedictorian of her high school class and awarded a tuition scholarship to attend UAB.
I am a retired Army officer with over 20 years of dedicated service. I served in Desert Storm, Bosnia and in the Philippines. Currently, I am a Department of the Army Civilian helicopter instructor pilot that trains the future Attack/Reconnaissance helicopter pilots. These young men and women will fill positions in the tactical units and deploy to support the global war on terrorism. Recently, I was awarded the 2006 Instructor Pilot of the Year for the U.S. Army Warfighting Center. I have volunteered to go overseas again to work with the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Agency. Maybe our biography can help you during the trial to show the caliber of people whose lives were jeopardized by Mr. Simmons careless actions.
What I would like to see happen to Mr. Simmons is this:
I would like him to serve some jail time and ultimately court-ordered placement into a residential alcohol treatment program directly from jail. He should go to treatment directly from jail. I would like to see him in a program for 90 days. When he gets out of treatment, he should be court-ordered to go to the local police department and blow into the Alco-sensor two times per day, 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. He must blow .000. ~ If not, it should then be considered a violation of his probation and he should go directly back to jail.
Please provide me with his docket and/or court case number so I can track the progress of this case.
Thank you,
Steven Hebert
Dear Mr. Hebert,
The case numbers for this defendant in the Tucker County Magistrate Court are 07-M-170 and 171.
I like your recommendations in your September 23rd letter as far a punishment for Mr. Simmons goes. However, practically I don't believe we can comply.
I will try to make sure he gets some jail time and I would like to see him enter a treatment program. He will have to take alcohol treatment classes before he can regain his license here in West Virginia.
I may even suggest that he go to the Community Corrections Program, which is a program where they find him a job in Elkins and provide him with a place to live. He would have drug and alcohol testing daily while in this program. I am not sure that he will be eligible for this but it is a consideration.
A hearing was scheduled in the Magistrate Court for October 16, 2007. However, Mr. Simmons now has an attorney and he has filed a motion to continue the hearing. I will let you know as soon as a new hearing date has been scheduled.
Sincerely yours,
William M. Miller
I think that Mr. Miller needs to hear from as many of as as possible to voice our concerns of a verly light sentence on Mr. Simmons. We cannot allow this type of behavior to continue. We all are aware of Mr. Christ who was killed only a few miles from the nation rally site on his way home from the same type of behavior. Drunks have no rights on the road at all! If you feel so inclined to contact Mr. Miller, he can be reached at:
