Carl Edward Frye was found guilty in General District Court on Tuesday of reckless driving (92/55), but Judge John Alexander was lenient due to Frye’s attitude.
Frye had pled not guilty to the charge. Trooper R.A. Baines testified that he was operating radar on Route 522 on May 26 when he saw Frye’s vehicle come around a curve at a high speed. The vehicle’s speed was registered at 92 on Trooper Baines’ radar.
Trooper Baines said that he turned to stop Frye, but could not find him. Rappahannock Deputy Gary Settle advised Trooper Baines that he had seen Frye’s car stopped on Route 662. Trooper Baines found Frye and charged him with reckless driving.
Frye agreed with Trooper Baines’ testimony.
“I was overeager, and I punched it,” Frye said. “I never knew what my license meant until now when I could lose it, and I need it for work.” He said that he works in Arlington.
He said that his speedometer was not working properly. “Whether it was working or not, you knew you were speeding,” said Judge Alexander. Judge Alexander fined Frye $100 in addition to $20 costs.
“I’m going to hang a sword over your head,” Judge Alexander said. “Within 12 months, if you’re convicted of speeding or reckless driving in this court, I will ground you for at least 90 days, and it’s a long walk to Arlington. By your attitude, I think you are impressed with the seriousness of this matter.”
