Wolfe State of Tennessee","date","2025-09-29T22:11:41Z","article","A Dixon County judge revoked the bond of John Robert Hunt and ordered him remanded to the sheriff’s custody after officers presented video and witness testimony linking him to a June 29, 2024 pursuit that put pedestrians and other motorists at risk. The decision followed a prosecution motion to revoke bond and an evidentiary hearing in which police described a pattern of conduct that began inside an apartment complex and ended in a high-speed crash.

The judge, David Wolf, said the state’s evidence — including body-worn camera footage and officer testimony — showed the defendant drove a vehicle up onto a sidewalk, “clipped” a person in a motorized wheelchair and then later struck another vehicle head-on, creating a substantial public-safety hazard. Officer Corey Krug, who investigated the incident, testified that officers found a handgun and packaged pills in the car and that he had gathered video from multiple building cameras showing activity between people later connected to the vehicle. Krug identified the vehicle he investigated as the car that left the scene and later was involved in the crash.

Why it matters: The court said the case met the statutory standard for bond revocation when a defendant engages in criminal conduct while released on bond. The judge referenced Tennessee law allowing revocation where an offender is charged with an offense committed during release and cited appellate decisions on bail revocation procedures.

State prosecutor General Wojnarowski told the court the video and other materials justified revocation to protect the public while the Tennessee charges remain pending. Defense attorney Roger Weinick cross-examined the lead officer and emphasized procedural gaps and the time needed to obtain New York court dispositions. Weinick also told the court after the hearing that Buffalo later entered dispositions on related New York charges; Hunt said in court that some New York matters had been resolved on September 25 but acknowledged he had pled guilty to lesser traffic-related counts and paid fines.

The court’s ruling: Wolf said the Tennessee evidence and officer testimony were sufficient to find that Hunt had engaged in the alleged criminal conduct while on release, and he revoked bond and remanded Hunt to custody pending further proceedings.

What the record shows: Officer Krug described the sequence on the record and played body-worn camera and building surveillance excerpts for the court. Krug told the court he collected the vehicle inventory that included cash, a handgun and packaged blue pills; he also described video of persons transferring a small bag that appeared consistent with packaged pills. Hunt admitted in court that he was driving the vehicle but disputed or limited some aspects of the state’s account.

Next steps: The judge remanded Hunt to custody; Hunt remains subject to the pending Tennessee indictments and the court said further scheduling and discovery matters will be handled in follow-up proceedings.

Key outcomes included:
- Silas Bolling: The court found Bolling in violation of probation after officers and probation staff testified he failed multiple treatment programs. Judge Wolf revoked him to serve his sentence and remanded him to custody with credit for time served.
- Shane Butler: After testimony from supervising officers that Butler had repeatedly left required treatment programs and failed drug screens, the court revoked and ordered Butler to serve the applicable sentence rather than reinstating probation.
- Charles (Timothy) Gish: The defendant admitted his VOP; the judge revoked and ordered him to serve the balance of his sentence with credit for time served.
- Walter Whitmore: Pleaded guilty to VOP and was revoked to serve 180 days, day-for-day, after which probation was to be terminated.
- Kenneth Ogg: By agreement, Ogg admitted a VOP and the court reinstated him to probation with 0‑tolerance for failed drug screens and required an assessment within 30 days of release.

Why it matters: The court signaled limited patience for repeat failures to comply with supervised-release conditions. Judges repeatedly cited prior opportunities given to probationers, treatment program completion as a condition of reinstatement, and statutory sanction ranges (including statutory limits for technical violations).

What parties said: Probation officers testified to missed reports, failed drug screens, and program discharges; defense counsel asked for leniency or emphasized individuals’ progress in programs. For some defendants the court accepted pleas or stipulations; for others the court imposed jail time after concluding further supervised release would be ineffective.

Next steps: Defendants remanded will be held to serve the imposed sentences; those reinstated on probation have reporting and treatment conditions to meet. The court warned that future missed reports would be treated as 0‑tolerance violations.

Judge David Wolf told newly appointed counsel for several defendants that January 7 would be the last plea day before the mass trial date, and he instructed the parties to notify the court early about how many defendants would proceed to trial so the county can plan courtroom and venue logistics. The court also set a separate motion day for one defendant’s anticipated suppression motion in late February (February 27) after counsel said they needed extended time to draft and file motions.

Why it matters: The case involves a large number of codefendants. The court’s scheduling choices — a single January 20 trial window and a mid-January last-plea deadline — are intended to force resolution decisions early, help the prosecution and defense manage discovery and witness preparation, and allow the court to arrange for appropriate trial accommodations if many defendants proceed to trial.

What parties said: Counsel for several defendants asked for time to file motions to suppress or to coordinate representation; the judge allowed extended motion dates for those who sought them and appointed lead counsel where conflicts existed. The judge emphasized that if counsel asked for a trial date, the case would proceed to trial on that date unless counsel reached a plea agreement beforehand.

Next steps: Defendants who have not resolved their cases must be ready for trial on Jan. 20 or enter pleas by Jan. 7; attorneys handling suppression motions were given a February 27 motion hearing date and told to file motions promptly.

Speakers quoted or on record: Judge David Wolf; attorneys Lee Spratt and others; appointed counsel and several prosecutors were on the record about dates and motions.","A large conspiracy prosecution involving multiple defendants was set for trial on Jan. 20; the court told newly appointed counsel they had until Jan. 7 to reach plea deals and set later motion dates for certain defendants.","actionData","errors"]
