WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — A reputed member of the Jersey Boys drug gang was released from jail Tuesday night with credit for time served after pleading guilty to selling cocaine last year in Springfield.
Joseph “Black” Atkinson, 19, entered his plea in White River Junction criminal court in exchange for a one-year sentence.
In February 2013 a woman told police that Atkinson and two other teenagers from New Jersey barged into her house, took a safe with more than $4,000 in it, and forced her at gunpoint to give them a ride to Springfield.
Much of the case against Atkinson and the other two was thrown out when a judge suppressed large parts of the evidence from the traffic stop in which they were arrested and the subsequent police investigation.
The charge remaining in Atkinson’s plea deal involved selling $100 worth of crack cocaine to a police informant in Springfield.
They should make the damned judge live in Springfield. One Year?!! C'mon!

ReplyDeleteIm telling you that you have to call the governers office and let them know you expect him to enact some kind of stricter drug laws ie 3 strikes and your out sort of thing. Call your representatives and say the same thing. We HAVE to be vocal and let them know we are all set with this crap of drug dealers and child molesters being let off the hook. They should all be in jail and should have to clean and mow the highways and sides of the highway so our highway people can spend their time and our money fixing the damn streets PERIOD put them to hard labor at a cost savings to us. Damn it all...enough is enough
ReplyDeleteTime to start taking care of things for ourselves. A little "citizen justice" is in order at this point.
