Hey John,
Sorry to hear about this unfortunate event. 15N through louisa is definitely annoying as hell to get stuck behind someone on. Seeing as im from the area my expertise sounds needed. My boy got clocked goin 130 in a 65 in louisa, here's how his story played out. Everything but felony evasion was dropped in court, felony went to circuit court. He got jail time but they allow you to serve the time on weekends. The lawyers arent BSing either, im thinking about all my friends that have served time because of driving and all were Louisa offenses, also all of them were under 21 when convicted, some under 18. All i can say is, the best of luck with that. Class 1 misdemeanors are nothing though, i got one for underage poss. of alc. a while back but after you serve out your probation/license suspension you can hire a lawyer to get the charge expundged(sp) from your record through the circuit court, which leaves your record sparkling once again. Really thats what id use a lawyer for.
Oh and for the record ANYTIME a cop gives you a yellow sheet of paper for a traffic offense, you were arrested. Anytime you're cited for any violation you are "arrested" and the cop would be the arresting officer. Just cause you don't get cuffed and taken downtown to talk to the magistrate doesn't mean you weren't arrested. Just a lil clarification.
