I received notice this morning that the criminal who ran over me and left the scene is up for parole February 12, 2009. I would like for you guys and gals to help prevent this my mailing letters to the Parole Board.
His name is John Turpin and he was sentenced to 5 yrs and as a habitual criminal. He has been in and out of jail for yrs with numerous convictions. He was drunk with a blood alcohol of 0.18 and high on opiates when he hit me while I was riding in 5pm traffic at 35 mph. He hit me twice before running over me and dragging me over 100 feet. I was riding a bright red Rocket III and wearing a bright red Joe Rocket Jacket and silver helmet so there is no way he did not see me. Once my bike and I were pulled from beneath his truck, he left the scene and drove home. I haven't ridden my Valk very much since then since I have what the Docs call a flail chest and I am in constant discomfort. I am on light duty at work for the rest of my life. Believe me, if he had anything I would haved sued. Instead, I'd like to see him locked up safely away from others until he completes his sentence. Arkansas has "good time" so he will serve less than half anyway provided he behaves.
Please write letters to the following:
Leroy Brownlee, Chairman
Abraham Carpenter, Jr., Vice-Chairman
Richard Mays, Jr., Secretary
John Belken, Commissioner
John Felts, Commissioner
Carolyn Robinson, Commissioner
Joseph "Joe" Pea****, Commissioner
