Now that’s good police work!
From a Danville Police dept. press release
This morning at approximately 9:45AM, Danville Police arrested Daniel Ray Utterback age 26 of Danville for grand larceny from the person (VA Code 18.2-95), credit card fraud (VA Code 18.2-195), and credit card forgery (VA Code 18.2-172). Utterback was spotted on the lot of Cain Creek Shopping Center by a detective who stopped the suspect vehicle along with backup personnel on the Danville Expressway. The charges stemmed from a purse snatching which took place on the lot of Wal-Mart at approximately 10:56AM on Monday where a 74-year-old woman reported a white male taking her purse. Utterback was arrested without incident.
The investigation revealed that Utterback was also responsible for a similar incident that occurred yesterday at approximately 2:10PM at Sam’s Club where an 86-year-old woman had her purse taken from her after leaving the store. Charges are now pending from that incident along with the use of her stolen credit cards, checks, and identification. Utterback is being held in the Danville City Jail under no bond.
Here’s the mugshot of the SOB.
What a creep! Robbing poor old ladies that can’t fight back. That is reaaaal nice.
So sad!! I know this guy’s cousin–his whole family is really shocked and saddened by all this. His poor child… it is so sad that this occurred on such a slow news day! It is truly amazing how fast someone’s life can spin out of control because of drugs. I hope that the elderly women are ok, and I hope this man gets some help. And i hope that everyone knows how awful drugs can be and how quickly you can ruin your life and your family’s life by not seeking help!!!
“It’s sad that this occured on such a slow news day”? No- it’s sad that it occured at all! WTF??
Are you saying that this clown should have gotten a free pass if some other tragedy had been occuring?
Yeah, drugs are bad- they just amplify the thoughts and moods you already have in your head. Sort of like alcohol makes everyone a better dancer, fighter, lover, and etc. Whatever. It’s a sorry piece of crap that would steal from an old lady. And then do it again because it felt so good.
Jojo, how fortunate for you that you have never had anything awful happen in your life! You should be thankful everyday that this is not your brother, father, cousin, uncle, husband, or friend whose picture has been splashed all over the news. Of course he should not get a free pass. I will explain it so people like you can understand… it is unfortunate that there was no other news to print on this particular day, good or bad. Now this man’s ex-wife’s wounds are re-opened, and when their child is old enough, she will have to explain ignorant white trash like you to her. This man came from a good family, had a good job, married into a good family, had a better job, had a dream wedding with a fantastic loving marriage, had a lovely wife and a beautiful daughter ONLY A YEAR AGO. This type of thing happens fast and can happen to ANYONE no matter what ignorant people think. Pray that it never happens to you!!!
Ok Lucy, now that you have spewed your hate everywhere, you have just shown your lack of intelligence by allowing your base emotions to show. It’s a shame you can’t present a sane, logical argument without resorting to ugliness. You know nothing about me, or what I’ve been through, so get off the pity wagon and get a life. HE screwed up, he should have made the news, HE made the choices that left him where he is, no one else. “Ignorant white trash”? Whats with stooping to show your ignorance by lashing out at me? I must have hit really close to home with my assessment of this poor drug addicted boy. Umm, look up at the top of page- right next to his picture.
This blog called him an sob , thats worse than anything I said.
Oh, and as for explaining it so people like me can understand? What exactly does that mean? Please explain how you know what kind of “people” I am, other than a LAW ABIDING family man, one that works hard for his things, and can’t stand a low life, worthless, drug addicted piece of garbage that knocks down OLD LADIES.
Or ignorant-ass sympathetic losers that seem to think defending them and talking trash about people they don’t know is ok.
Talk about white trash, I’m willing to bet your house sits in a park with a bunch of others just like it. All with the wheels still on them.
Confucious says: “A wise man and a fool should never argue. listeners can’t tell which is which.”
I’ll explain that so people like you can understand it- I’m stopping before people get confused, and think I’m the fool.
You have a nice day now, ya’ hear.
Yep, I called him a SOB. I’m sticking with it, too.
Jojo, I didn’t start this ugliness, the rest of you did. I just put it out there that if you had seen this man a year ago, you would never believe anyone that told you that this would happen to him or his family. As I have said before, but apparently need to reiterate, I am not saying he should not be put in jail for many years. It will be best thing for everyone involved. I just wanted people to know that he has not always been like this. I put it out there so that people would know that not all drug addicts are human garbage. I put it out there so people could know how bad addiction can actually get, and I wanted those who struggle with family members and friends who are addicts not to feel as alone as this man’s family has felt. And can you blame them for feeling lonely? They all go to work every day and work their butts off for everything they have, and then they have to come home and get kicked while they are down by holier-than-thou common folks like you. Like I said, I pray that it never happens to you or your family because it is a lonely lonely place to be, especially in this town.
Everyone bitches about crime and drugs in Danville, but no one wants to do anything about it. Ya’ll want everyone arrested with a dime bag of weed to go to prison for life, but you don’t want any of YOUR tax dollars going toward it. So then, because of overcrowding, sentences become shorter or lighter and these men spend time in a prison that is not equipt for their mental illness or addictions or tendencies toward violence (again, I would hate to spend YOUR tax dollars on folks that will be returned to society rehabilitated)…. then these same guys can’t get hired around here by anyone because they have records and have not been rehabilitated, so they just repeat the cycle. And then you all get to complain and clutch your bibles and talk about doing the right thing. It makes me sooooooo mad!!!!!
Oh, and not that it is any of your damn business, but my “house on wheels” is a brick colonial and that “park” it sits in? Forest Hills. Right around the corner from the home Mr. Utterback shared with his wife. I hope you didn’t bet much, fool.
Keep talking, you’re doing a fine job of proving my point.
You started with the name calling, and continue to do so, I understand now why you feel this way. See, I am just a “common” person, not one of affluence like you must be, living in Forest Hills and all.
I didn’t know that you a better person, just because you live in Forest Hills.
See, you keep making nasty assumptions about me, without knowing anything at all about me. You don’t know how I feel about crime, punishment, or rehabilitation. You have let your emotions run unchecked, and run thug-like over others who do not share your opinion.
As far as your assumption that I am a Bible thumper- way off base again sister, I think organized religion is a sham, it became for-profit instead of for Prophet, a long time ago.
Maybe, just maybe, you should take some of your pent-up hostility, and channel it into volunteer work, you know, get out and help the drug addicts and downtrodden. Give them a lift up, let them stay with you in your home, give them a small taste of what the good life in Forest Hills is all about.
I’ve done voluteer work all my life, and it has given me a much better outlook on things. You should try it.
Forest Hills really isn’t that great, once maybe, but not so much anymore. I lived there until I could afford better, now I live in a 5,000 square foot, 3 story brick house on a golf course.Sometimes, when I feel nostalgic, and somewhat like slumming, I’ll ride my motorcycle through the old ‘hood just to keep me grounded and remember where I came from.
Jojo, you ASSumed that I lived in a trailer park because I took up for a drug addict’s family, so I corrected you. Your bitterness about my neighborhood and my neighbors is unfortunate, but it is neither uncommon nor unexpected. My neighbors and I contribute both money and time to a variety of worthy causes, but I’m sure you knew that, since you seem to be the authority on everything. Since it is impossible to make you understand my point, I am done addressing your posts. You are boring and cliche, and I have better things to do.
Oh, and by the way, kudos on making up for your shortcomings with the big house and the motorcycle!
You can tell when you have bested a woman in an arguement when the best she can do is TRY and insult your manhood. Silly woman. I know better.
It’s not the neighborhood I don’t like, I lived there, remember? It’s the self important asses that live there that I don’t like. You have a lot of issues, and pent up frustrations, I suspect if anyone is getting the “short” end of something- it’s you. Please don’t go away mad, I’m rather enjoying watching you self destruct in front of everyone.
Jojo, you most certainly got bested by Lucy. I agree with a lot you had to say, but I wish you would clarify your argument so the rest of us could understand what the heck you are trying to say. And, while I do not condone the reference to your manhood, it definitely sounds like she may have hit a tiny nerve. You shouldn’t let her get to you like that!
