“There comes a time when the court has to draw the line in these matters and that time is now,” maintained commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner in asking for revocation of James Franklin Pullen's probation.
Pullen was back in circuit court on Monday for a probation revocation hearing, his fourth in the six years since he received suspended sentences in Madison and Rappahannock counties for grand larceny.
“Frank’s problem throughout the years has been from drinking,’’ probation officer Jack DeBergh told the court.
He noted that Pullen was required to serve six months in jail after his third probation violation hearing and was out approximately a month before being charged with the first of two counts of driving while intoxicated.
“Frank has ten and a half years hanging over his head—four and a half in Rappahannock and six in Madison,” DeBergh said.
If probation is revoked and the suspended sentences are imposed, sending Pullen to the penitentiary, it’s “very dubious” that he’ll get the counseling he needs for treatment of alcoholism, the probation officer said. _ He added that. Pullew’a • attitude had improved since his release following the imposition of six months jail time.
