Totally Stable Father Blows Up Phones At Capitol
Out of state domestic terrorist Mark Vance Halburn repeatedly called the offices of the WV Senate Monday demanding to speak with Senate President Mitch Carmichael.
Halburn has been arrested numerous times for telephone harassment.
Mark Vance Halburn
Halburn was calling concerning HB4648, the so-called “Parenting Fairness Act of 2020” which would have mandated 50/50 custody in a divorce no matter how crazy or unfit one of the parents was. It would remove the old standard of doing what is in the best interests of the child and replace it with the presumption that shared legal and physical custody is in the best interests of the child.
This doesn’t take into account unfit parents like Mark Halburn. He is a shining example of why a bill like this should never, ever be considered.
It would have enabled all of the past cases with disputed custody to be reopened.
Which is exactly what Halburn wanted.
After FIVE losing trips before the WV Supreme Court, it was his only hope to regain any sort of visitation with his son.
As of this date, it has been 1000 days since Halburn was ordered to not see his son. 1000 DAYS!
The bill did not pass. The House version was over 25 pages, a manifesto filled with provisions that would have been nearly impossible to enforce in any way. When the Senate Judiciary whittled it down to two pages, the House lost its mind. They sent back an amendment to it, but it never made it through on the last night. It got lost in shuffle.
Halburn, a South Carolina resident, never attended any hearings or floor votes during the Legislature’s 60 day session. He was hospitalized through most of it with what some say was a severe case of herpes, which left him with plenty of time to call and pester the fuck out of everybody.
PutnamLies.com staff artist’s conception
During one of Monday’s calls, Halburn “COMMANDED” that the Senate be called back into session to pass this bill and get it to the governor “in five minutes.”
It was patiently explained to Halburn that Senator Carmichael wasn’t even in the office.
Lippy then gave a long winded spiel about technology enabling people to conference in from anywhere because “HE WAS CALLING FROM A HOSPITAL BED!” and then screamed, “I COMMAND YOU TO CONFERENCE MITCH CARMICHAEL IN RIGHT NOW!”
Halburn made a big show of voting in South Carolina a couple weeks back … so he’s no longer a constituent of anyone here in West Virginia.
Take your crusade up with your South Carolina representatives, Fatboy.

Halburn’s Vendetta Against Nazarene Church Continues
On October 1, Mark Vance Halburn, in his continuing desperation to regain custody or even visitation of his estranged son, filed suit against a laundry list of defendants. This time in Nicholas County.
It’s a rehash of all of the numerous other losing appeals he has filed since his divorce was final in 2013. And all of the items have been previously decided. Res judicata.
He’s just attempting to re-litigate the whole thing in a new venue.
This guy is living like a vagrant in South Carolina but he has the time to drive to Nicholas County and file this complaint. He’s got a lot of nerve filing this whacko lawsuit when he’s got a petit larceny charge in Dunbar hanging over him.
Oddly enough, the address he gave in the filing is in Dunbar. He hasn’t lived in West Virginia since January.
He names the usual gang of suspects, his second ex-wife, the judge in his never ending family court case, the guardian ad litem assigned to the son, officials of the WV Nazarene Church, the church itself and 100 unnamed individuals who Halburn imagines have wronged him.
And it looks like he’s representing himself again. A fool for a client.
Any Judge worth a grain of salt, will throw this case out on a motion to dismiss.
Lets get right to his complaint.
It’s a pretty bold legal move claiming a sitting family court Judge lied. That should gain major style points with fellow judges.
The judge and the guardian ad litem have immunity so any of that is a moot point.
He was also been ordered by Judge Keller not to discuss the case and not file anything without a lawyer. Not sure how this affects that.
You know it’s Halburn because there are words in all caps and lots of exclamation points scattered throughout the suit. Lawsuits filed in the Microsoft Word default font really mean business!
Plus he calls everyone names. Who does that in a legal filing but him?
How does that help if he ever wants to see his kid again?
Was the guy drunk when he drafted this?
He also must have just learned what the word triplicate means because he used it like 5 times.
Nazarene vendetta
Halburn’s vendetta against the Nazarene Church may have started with his hatred of Charleston pediatrician Joseph Matusic when they attempted to locate a daycare at Teays Valley Nazarene Church. It intensified when his second ex-wife wanted to send her son to the WV Nazarene Camp in Summersville.
Now, in his paranoid mind, church officials have conspired with the judge, his second ex-wife and various other unknown and unnamed individuals in order to deprive him of his parental rights.
Note to fatboy: Crazy people don’t get to keep or visit their kids.
Shiny Object
Then he serves up an affidavit from a guy at the Nicholas Health Department that he undoubtedly went and browbeat the guy into signing.
Halburn hangs his hat on the statement:
“I did not observe Mr. Halburn taking photographs of the building.”
He obviously stopped reading there.
Because the next sentence is the real payoff:
“However, I was not in the company of Mr. Halburn during the ten-minute inspection period, so I can attest to neither Mr. Halburn’s whereabouts or actions during that time.”
It’s like the fat bastard didn’t even read that sentence. Because of course he didn’t. The last sentence basically negates the whole affidavit.
All Halburn sees is the guy saying he never entered the building. Shiny object.
He also demands that ownership of the Nazarene Camp must permanently be given to him and all expenses, operating costs, staff and manager costs, maintenance and mortgages related to the camp mus be paid by the Nazarene Church.
He’s also asking for the Court to grant him full custody of his son, which is something the Nicholas County Court has zero control over. Plus , he wants his second ex-wife to pay HIM child support and repay the paltry amount ($177 per month) he has been forced by the court to contribute toward his son’s support.
Damages
Halburn demands that all parties must each be ordered to, immediately, pay $1 trillion in compensatory damages, $10 trillion in punitive damages and $1 trillion, trillion in damages for violating his civil rights.
This is not enough for Halburn.
And if that’s not enough, the greedy bastard demands that Judge Keller pay triple that!
He’s also asking for Keller to be permanently imprisoned.
This is comedy of the highest grade. This guy takes the cake, hands down.
Dead mother Halburn has said and done a lot of crazy things.
But the craziest is his ongoing demand that the court revive the cremated corpse of his mother almost six years after her death.
Halburn’s mom was not available for comment.
And now he’s brought it up again.
“Therefore, this court must order D…, Mike Kelly and Patricia Keller to put Mark and (the son) on a charter jet, immediately, upon receipt of this filing, for a final visit. Whatever extraordinary means that Martin, Kelly and Keller must undertake to make Nancy Halburn available for the final visit are the problems of Martin, Kelly and Keller and must be paid for at their expense!”
Hmmm. Yeah. Not crazy at all. Not. At. All.
The parties who are named have 20 days after service to respond, assuming he’s served anyone with the complaint. A real lawyer uses a process server, but he doesn’t have the money. In the past he’s gotten his drunk, child beating buddy or his child molesting pal to do it.
Someone should move for sanctions for even having to respond to his nonsense. In some situations if a party is penniless, or if they frequently file frivolous suits, those sanctions can mean jail time.
It’ll be fun to see what happens, especially what the family court judge (who has 100% immunity) does. This guy’s never going to see his kid again.
Keller could very well throw him back in jail again for filing this without a lawyer. Especially since it’s things that she’s already ruled on.
Our understanding is the clock starts over again on the 18 months visitation ban with his son if he violates her order.
This lawsuit just demonstrates that he is the most deranged he’s ever been. At this point, it’s literally just him using all caps, calling names, and asking for a million trillion dollars because of a personal vendetta with the Nazarene Church.
Halburn has never been self aware but this time it’s just too much. He’s too blind to realize this is doing to do big time damage to him ever seeing his kid again.
He is his own worst enemy. And he can’t see that.
The weekly counseling he was ordered to get for the Matusic case doesn’t seem to be helping.
PutnamLIES.com will have more on this story as it develops.

POSSIBLE STALKER ACTIVE IN GASTON COUNTY NC
In late July Realtors in the Piedmont region of North & South Carolina area were warned to watch out for stalker Mark Vance Halburn.
Wherever he goes, trouble soon follows.
Mark Vance Halburn
On July 30, Halburn, using a fake name, posted this on the trailer park of the internet, Topix, one of his favorite places to anonymously attack people.
So we knew there had been an incident.
What happened?
Halburn used REALTOR.com to contact a real estate agency in Gastonia NC. But it turns out his reputation preceded him.
The first red flag? He specifically asked for a female Realtor.
Why would he do that?
That’s his M.O. Find a woman to intimidate.
After they got more information about him, they took precautions and agents showed him the listing. During the showing, Halburn became agitated easily and contradicted himself numerous times, creating an uncomfortable situation for the Realtors. After the showing, he began emailing & texting the Realtors in a harassing manner.
Local police were notified and they confirmed Halburn’s history of arrests for stalking and harassment in West Virginia. An investigation is now under way.
The Piedmont Regional Realtor Association in Rock Hill, SC then sent the following bulletin to all its members:
” ***PLEASE BE AWARE THERE IS A POSSIBLE STALKER IN THE AREA!!!***
It has come to our attention there is someone calling Real Estate Offices asking for a female realtor to show him unoccupied homes listed for sale. He calls and can be very verbally abusive when you advise him to come into the office.
The name he gives is Mark Halburn and the phone number shows up on the caller ID as 304-415-6397. We believe he is not a genuine customer and has a history of arrests for stalking and harassment.
Please use caution and your best judgment if you encounter this person.”
This guy doesn’t have two dimes to rub together and he’s looking at houses?
He wouldn’t even qualify for a mortgage.
And if it’s a rental, they need to make sure they get a big cleaning deposit because this guy is the worst slob you’ve ever seen.
Then after all that, last week he group texted a bunch of realtors, saying if they needed high quality photos of their listings from a professional photographer, that they should call him.
Typical Halburn.
Shit all over everybody and then ask for a job.
We applaud Piedmont Regional Realtor Association for being proactive and warning their members about this menace.
As Judge Michael Kelly wrote in Halburn’s final divorce order:
“Mr. Halburn’s arrests follow the pattern clearly seen by the mental health professionals: he generates needless conflict and then overreacts when his bullying tactics are resisted.”
And, as the West Virginia Supreme Court wrote:
“The family court found that “there is no doubt that Mr. Halburn will bully, degrade and infuriate everyone with whom he disagrees or who has refused to accommodate his odious and malicious conduct.”
And finally, as Halburn’s court ordered mental evaluation states: “Mr. Halburn’s psychological profile and behavior would suggest that he has propensity for aggressive behavior. Given his degree of agitation and volatility, any threats made by Mr. Halburn should be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.”
8/24 UPDATE: Lippy fires back with his usual rejoinder.
We’d just like to remind Halburn. It’s not libel if it’s true.
The all seeing eye never blinks, motherfucker.
We’re watching you no matter where you go.
You can waddle, but you can’t hide.

Area Psycho Abusing Legislative staff
Mark Vance Halburn called WV Legislative offices last Thursday afternoon demanding answers on what he called a “50-50 Custody” bill.
He’s probably talking about Senate Bill 51. It passed on March 10 and it’s effective in 90 days but it hasn’t been signed into law yet.
§48-9-206 is probably what he’s getting in a froth about. It says that custody should be shared if the court determines it is in the best interests of the child.
Halburn, however, has consistently shown a problem with acting in his child’s best interests. In his child’s case, shared legal custody is MOST CERTAINLY NOT in the best interests of the child.
And that’s the bottom line.
It doesn’t matter what he thinks.
The Court would absolutely not agree with him. And has. Repeatedly.
He has had minimal visitation precisely because of his behavior, but his irrational behavior last June was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The Court ordered him to have absolutely NO CONTACT with his son until May 2019.
The people at the Capitol were helpful until he started yelling and threatening and demanding supervisors and home numbers and shit. I mean seriously. Yelling at a secretary? It’s just so shitty. Especially after she answered his question.
And then he called the Clerk’s office and demanded to speak to the Clerk and when he was told the Clerk was not in, he demanded to know where he was and if he was not there he demanded to speak to HIS supervisor.
PutnamLIES.com was told he was hard to hear and breaking up. Sounded like he was in a car.
Probably so. Probably driving to an important supervisory job.
They just should have explained to him that the session is over and to please call again next year.
“Call back in 2019, thanks” or “Sorry, we don’t respond to out of state residents. Many Thanks!”
You know what someone there should have asked him? How his psychotherapy is going.
Because we have serious doubts he’s complying.
But if he is, it ain’t working.
He didn’t call back after his first pants shitting meltdown … so maybe he finally arrived at his shelf stocking job or some such shit.

Not So Funny When The Sandal Is On The Other Foot
Mark Vance Halburn is upset with this picture on PutnamLIES.com’s Spot The Halburn page.
Halburn and his new “girlfriend” sugar mama, Barbara at the Church @The Depot. Takes a lot of nerve to bring her to church after a weekend of depravity shacked up at his filthy one bedroom apartment. Apparently she’s one of those an assholes who feels the need to use her phone in church too. 5/7/2017
The picture was sent to us by a fellow parishioner of that church who didn’t appreciate Halburn or his shenanigans. It’s been posted since May 2017.
Apparently it’s been eating at Halburn since then and he just had to complain about it today.

Halburn’s Harassment Goes Too Far
Loses Visitation With Son
So, what’s Mark Vance Halburn’s vendetta against the Nazarene Church all about?
Here’s a partial explanation.
West Virginia Nazarene Camp in Summersville
Law enforcement sources tell PutnamLIES.com that Halburn’s son attended a church camp in Summersville run by the Nazarene Church last June.
Shortly before the camp got underway, Halburn found out the boy would be attending camp there, and began harassing the camp operators relentlessly.
He started publicly on May 27 by asking on his Facebook page: “FB friends: Would you allow your child to attend a church camp, in less than a month, that was cited for 15 violations, by its county health department, a few days ago?”
Nice overuse of commas, by the way, from a so-called professional writer.
He wasn’t worried about the condition of the camp or concerned for the campers. It was just another one of his attempts to harass, abuse, control, and punish his second ex-wife by preventing his son from attending that camp.
He complained non-stop that the camp had health code violations. He actually went to the camp on June 2 and met with an inspector for the Nicholas County Health Department there.
Were there violations? Yes. Minor violations like peeling paint, burned out light bulbs, and missing mulch on the playground. The inspection was made a month BEFORE THE CAMP EVEN OPENED and all violations were corrected before it opened.
It’s a CHURCH CAMP, not a Hilton resort.
On June 15, a hearing was held in Cabell County and over Halburn’s objections, the mother was granted the right to send the boy to camp.
Once the camp started, the harassment increased.
Halburn inundated the camp director with texts.
The director finally texted Halburn telling him he was not allowed on camp grounds.
But on Wednesday, June 21, Halburn returned to the camp anyway. At that point, HE called the Sheriff’s Department and demanded they help him get to the boy.
When they arrived, they escorted him onto the camp grounds. Because the police brought him onto property, he was not trespassing.
Halburn’s plans were unknown. What did exactly he want? To see the boy? To talk to him? To kidnap him? It was unclear.
Think of how embarrassing it would be for a 9 year old to have his 400 pound, sweating bully of a dad barge into his camp with a police escort demanding to see you where you’re with other kids. This poor little boy will have to live with this for the rest of his life.
Despite his efforts, Halburn was not allowed to see the boy and was was escorted off the property.
Shortly thereafter, a protective order was issued in Cabell County.
The kicker here?
It wasn’t the Nazarene Church that got the order.
The DVP was issued to the mother on behalf of the son.
It states Halburn cannot directly or indirectly contact his second ex-wife or the boy.
It has since been extended.
The Dad of the Year has not seen the boy since late June.
However, Halburn has had it in for the Nazarene Church for much longer. It could be connected to his obsession with Dr. Joe Matusic and his family as well.
Dr. Matusic tells that part of the story:
“My ex-wife’s Winfield Daycare was scheduled to move into the Teays Valley Nazarene Church on Teays Valley road in August of 2013. Mr. Halburn’s child was still enrolled at the daycare. When Mr. Halburn found out where we were moving, he called many of the church board’s members and threatened to sue them if they allowed our daycare to move to their church. The church board then terminated our lease, effectively closing that daycare.”
Halburn even posted video of him going to that church to harass them about it.
Three months later Halburn attempted an explanation for his actions concerning the camp .
“I run a news site. I do kitchen inspections. I did one on a Nazarene camp where they sent my son. I’ve done it on many camps and 280 locations I’ve done kitchen inspections on. The health department does them. I just report the facts.
The camp had 15 violations which is about 3 times what other camps have had. And I met with a health department administrator by appointment, Next thing I know they’re falsely accusing me of taking pictures of the girl’s dorm. One, I didn’t take pictures. two, I (unintelligble). and three, there were no girls because the camp wasn’t even in session for two and a half weeks later. But yet they went ahead and lied and said that I did that. We have an affidavit from the health department administrator saying I didn’t take pictures. None of this matters to the court. All they say is well you can’t see your son.”
Except Halburn DID take pictures at the Camp on his June 2 visit.
One of the pictures of the camp Halburn claims he didn’t take.
Oddly enough, Halburn NEVER previously reported about any camp inspections until AFTER his vendetta against the Nazarene Camp began.
What kind of asshole harasses a church and its leadership ?
It’s not their fault this godless heathen’s obsession with his blog, his vendettas against virtually everyone, and his abuse of his second ex-wife destroyed his marriage.
It’s not their fault that he had almost no visitation and now has NO visitation.
That’s ALL on him and his aberrant behavior.
It’s your fault Halburn. All of it.
You walked away from your family through your actions and bad decisions.
How’s that crusading journalist bullshit working out for you now?

GUILTY!!!
Silver Bracelets For…
MARK VANCE HALBURN
A PutnamLIES.com/Trash Bloggers Alliance Exclusive Report
After a 3 1/2 hour trial today in Putnam County magistrate court, Mark Vance Halburn was was found guilty of violating a personal safety order issued against him on behalf of Dr Joe Matusic.
It took the jury just 10 minutes to return a guilty verdict.
The day began when Halburn arrived at the courthouse and started barking out orders to his attorney, Christopher Butch. The first thing he did was hand him a piece of paper and said, “These are questions for you to ask me.”
He then sat in the waiting area and prayed out loud for the jury to understand that he had the wrong address.
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.”Matthew 6:5
He also brought his Sugar Mama, Barbara, for support. And to go to his car and get his root beer that he needed.
Babs just can’t stop playing Bingo Blitz even when her boy toy is on trial.
Once in court, Halburn’s ancient attorney Christopher Butch appeared clueless and shook the whole time. But that was OK because Halburn seemed to run the whole show, sitting back in his chair like he owned the place, telling his attorney what to do and say, shoving papers at him the entire time and whispering to him every minute or so. The poor guy couldn’t keep his concentration because of it. To the point where Halburn was told by the judge several times to be quiet and the prosecuting attorney asked “Which one of these men is counsel”?
It was a cut and dried case.
In his opening statement Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Lawson told the jury there were only two things to remember. There is a protection order, and that Mark Vance Halburn went to the home. The rest you hear, he said, is just smoke and mirrors meant to distract.
Lawson entered the order as exhibit 1, then a Google Earth shot of the Matusic property showing how you can’t see the house from Peach Ridge because the driveway is about a quarter of a mile long,
Exhibit 2: View of Matusic’s driveway from Peach Ridge Road.
then pictures of the three no trespassing/ private property signs he passed coming up the driveway, then a picture of the mailbox with large reflective numbers on it and lastly a photo of Halburn’s car in Matusic’s driveway.
Exhibit 4 – Halburn driving his car up Dr. Matusic’s driveway.
The red marker indicates the location of Halburn’s car in the picture above.
Magistrate Linda Hunt accepted them all into evidence and they were shown to the jury.
The Prosecution called just one witness. Dr. Joseph Matusic.
Dr. Matusic did an excellent job on the stand.
He testified to the long term harassment and stalking by Halburn. He explained about the pictures of Halburn’s car taken in the driveway.
The defense tried to bring up a lot of crap such as “Halburn is a local reporter and was going to get pictures” and “Why did you let Channel 13 on your property and not Halburn when he was just doing his job?”
The simple answer given was, “I don’t have a PSO against Channel 13 and you write a blog.”
At that point the prosecution rested its case.
The defendant’s first witness was a Putnam County Sheriff Deputy Shawn Johnson who testified that he went and took the report, went to the courthouse to verify the protection order and also spoke with Hurricane Fire Department.
Next, when Halburn took the stand they couldn’t shut him up. He would elaborate on anything and everything and talk and talk. The magistrate called him down multiple times because he would drone on and on. She finally said, “Just answer the questions”!
The answer to “did you go on to this property” isn’t a 15 minute response.
Halburn claimed he had an email of the broadcast text sent to him by someone who worked (supposedly) at one of the television stations that he tried to enter as evidence. Magistrate Linda Hunt shut that down quickly. He wasn’t allowed to enter any of his material as evidence. The look on his face was priceless when he had to come to terms with the fact that nobody cared about his mountain of useless, irrelevant and inadmissible evidence.
Halburn repeatedly tried to bring in what everyone told him on the phone and persisted with it. The Prosecutor’s objections for hearsay were sustained every single time.
Then the lies started.
Halburn lied and said that he got lost and turned onto a public road. Except it was a driveway with no road sign on it, a mailbox clearly marked with large reflective numbers and 3 no trespassing signs. He then drove up a 1/4 mile driveway to a house that can’t be seen from the road.
This shows the distance Halburn had to travel up the Matusic’s driveway from the main road. Almost 1400 feet.
Halburn had to make a conscious effort to go out Peach Ridge Road. It’s not on the way to anywhere. He intended to go there. It’s not a thruway or side street. He drove 2 miles out a road that goes nowhere. Halburn knew exactly where the Doctor lives.
The route to the house.
But Halburn wants a jury to believe that an address that was clearly on the protective order that he was served with was one he didn’t know.
And that he just made a mistake.
Halburn can’t stop at someone’s house, ask if that’s Matusic’s property and then make the choice to continue to the property and call it an accident. If it was “an accident,” when the person told him it was Matusic’s property he would have turned around and gone home.
Halburn continued to lie and said he was at the bottom of the driveway, except the Prosecution had pictures showing he was at the top of the driveway.
Lawson did a great job of tripping up Halburn’s defense on numerous inconsistencies, such as Halburn stating that he was given a wrong address from Hurricane Fire Department. The house number was on the mailbox at the main road and it is the same as was on the protection order. So that claim was disproved quickly.
Halburn tried to say he never came up the driveway and was nowhere near the house, but when shown the photos of his car at the top of the driveway, he admitted that it was his car.
Halburn continued to use his lame excuse that he was given the wrong address and he was there to take pictures for his news website because he is a “News Reporter.”, He got called out on that by Lawson who pointed out that it’s already been decided by the courts that it is a blog. At that point, Halburn slung his fat ass back in the chair until it looked like it was going to tip over.
On several occasions Magistrate Linda Hunt actually rolled her eyes at Halburn’s statements.
Halburn told the jury that Matusic followed him and therefore that negated the intent of the order.
The jury obviously thought that was just more of Halburn’s bullshit.
Halburn also wanted the jury to believe that Matusic called the police after Halburn blatantly violated the third personal safety order issued against him because Matusic was somehow trying to affect a motion to a family court judge that Halburn filed weeks earlier for sole custody of his son.
At one point, Halburn told his attorney to have Matusic’s fiancee thrown out for “Witness Intimidation.” Halburn’s sugar mama told the judge the fiancee was talking and helping out during the trial.
The jurors were buying none of it.
The surprising thing is that they could actually find six people that didn’t already have an opinion of him.
Then the verdict came in and the words people have been waiting years to hear were read.
“We the jury be unanimously agreed to find the defendant, Mark Vance Halburn, guilty of a misdemeanor offense of violation a personal safety order. So say we all”
Halburn’s lawyer then asked about the sentencing.When asked by Magistrate Hunt if he wanted to do sentencing today, Butch said he didn’t bring his calendar.
She said “We can do sentencing today if you want.” Butch asked, “Is he going to be sent to jail today?
And then the real laugher came out.
Butch says, “We would ask that you suspend any sentence your honor.”
Hunt asked, “You mean suspend anysentence?”
Butch meant suspend it permanently.
The State then asked for sentencing to take place immediately, but Butch asked for 3 weeks.
They rambled back and forth for several minutes before settling on September 21 for Halburn’s sentencing.
Then Halburn and his entourage of lawyer and sugar mama shuffled out of the courthouse and to the parking lot.
Halburn and his party doing the walk of shame.
But before he left, Mr Environmental Consciousness dumped some trash from his car/pigpen into the parking lot before he pulled out.
Can you believe this guy? Who keeps their car this filthy?
Fatlock asking for a jury trial has bitten him in the ass appeal-wise. He fucked himself on this one.
Here is a little known fact of the legal system. Halburn chose a jury trial thinking he could trash his victim that much more or he chose a jury trial because no sane judge would believe any of his rants. Anyhow, if you have a bench trial with a judge, and you appeal, then you get an entire new trial at no expense.
Halburn lied about his “businesses” and other sources of income in order to get a court appointed lawyer for his criminal contempt trial so that wouldn’t have been any skin off his nose.
But if he wants to appeal a jury trial, he can only appeal on errors that may have arisen during the jury trial. He will not get a new trial, only an opinion from a judge about any errors. No errors, no new trial. AND he must pay thousands in court costs for the appeal. That’s money he does not have.
We should not make fun of nor torment the mentally ill.
Mark Halburn is an exception because he is the kind of mentally ill that is not bad enough to be in an institution, not mild enough for him to seek effective treatment and irritating enough to his fellow countrymen to piss off just about everyone he interacts with. Halburn is a blowhard and a bully who uses his “intelligence” and gifts of literary skills to extort local businesses out of some semblance of an income. Anyone who encounters Halburn can pretty quickly figure out that his elevator does not quite go to the top floor, but most also see that he is more the kind to post slanderous things than take physical action.
We all watch the news, we all see events where mass trauma and murder have been committed by the mentally ill. People whom others knew were dangerous, but had not quite committed enough to get them either incarcerated or helped before they hurt and killed others. Mr Halburn appears to fit into that category of pathology. We never know when Mr Halburn is going to go the next step but we should all be prepared for the day that happens and take appropriate action when it does. But until then, lets hope Halburn learns from this experience, hope that Halburn’s new cell mates can help him see the error of his ways, hope that Halburn’s sugar mama/girlfriend/ fiance Barbara is a good influence on him and calms the demons inside him even though she empties bedpans for a living and seems as dim witted as Halburn.. God knows his two ex-wives were never able to do anything.
But anyone who interacts with him should also remember this statement from his court ordered mental evaluation: “Mr. Halburn’s psychological profile and behavior would suggest that he has propensity for aggressive behavior. Given his degree of agitation and volatility, any threats made by Mr. Halburn should be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.”
Mental illness often has patterns and cycles and Halburn’s now appears to be on the escalation phase.
In June, he was sentenced in Kanawha County to 6 months in jail for harassing WCHS Radio and the Mayor of Charleston. While awaiting this trial, he trespassed at a church camp and has a personal safety order from that incident which prevents him from seeing his own son. In the weeks after that, he visited several churches of the same denomination and left flyers on worshipers’ cars while they were attending church services.
Halburn will be sentenced on September 21 at 2:30pm. The State will ask for the maximum sentence of 90 days.
It would be better than jail for him to do the time in a mental hospital.
Actual incarceration isn’t going to fix his problem.
He needs to be involuntarily committed.
PutnamLIES.com will have more on this story as it becomes available.

Area Man Tries for Third Consecutive Restraining Order
Last Sunday, Mark Halburn struck again.
This time it was at the Nitro Church of the Nazarene.
He left the same self serving flyers on peoples’ cars once again.
He’s so transparent.
You can tell it’s him by his insistence upon using both that God-awful Verdana font and excessive exclamation points.
And for the love of all that’s holy, stop calling yourself a “single father,” Fatsack.
Halburn has been harassing the church nonstop since he was removed from their church camp in Summersville earlier this summer. It appears he was upset about health code violations that occurred prior to the camp’s opening and went there demanding access and was then removed.
After that, he started to use fake names to harass them via one of his favorite methods, Topix.
Then, several weeks later in another post, he claims he filed some sort of a claim against the church, obviously in an attempt to shake them down.
He follows it the next day with this:
And then, a few days later, he drops this one:
PutnamLIES.com urges the leadership of the Church to get a restraining order against Halburn immediately, covering ALL Nazarene churches for the protection of their pastors, worshipers and property.
As his mental evaluation stated:
“Mr. Halburn’s psychological profile and behavior would suggest that he has propensity for aggressive behavior. Given his degree of agitation and volatility, any threats made by Mr. Halburn should be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.”

Mark Halburn, the Dunbar domestic terrorist, has a driving problem. Seems he doesn’t believe laws apply to him. He has a string of traffic tickets, which as usual, he says are not his fault. But nothing ever is, is it?
He has a big beef with the police in the town where he squats. Dunbar PD has issued numerous citations to him, mostly for speeding. Usually about twice the posted speed limit.
HE, apparently, gets to determine what he considers “a normal rate of speed.”
30 in a 15. TWICE the posted limit.
So he blames the mayor.
To the point where he literally has like a half dozen online videos of him stalking the Mayor’s neighborhood to try and prove some lame point about speed limits in the town.
He conveniently leaves out the fact that he would have still been exceeding the limit even if it had been 25 mph.
Halburn Stalks Mayor Greenlee’s Home on 19th Street
And, the guy who is so obsessed about other peoples’ behavior seems to have no problem with shooting video and driving at the same time.
Greenlee was also the target of numerous sock puppet postings by Halburn on the trailer park of the internet, Topix.
Here’s an attack he made on January 8,2017.
And another one made before the recent election.
To show the extent of Halburn’s vendetta, Roger Wolfe, the candidate he was promoting above, had formerly been Dunbar’s mayor before he was removed from office in 2008 when he approved pay raises for four department heads and approved other city expenses without city council’s approval. The State Ethics Commission later fined him $35,000 in 2011 after they found he violated the Ethics Act for receiving reimbursements without proper authority.
All of which Wolfe has refused to pay.
He’s the type of politician who Halburn would normally rail against, but this time gets a pass because it advances Halburn’s agenda.
Or maybe he feels a kinship with a fellow deadbeat.
So PutnamLIES.com was completely gobsmacked when Halburn posted this on Mayor Greenlee’s Facebook page Saturday.
Seriously? What a sniveling ass kisser. What’s your angle now, Halburn? Hoping the replacement mayor will be a pussy that you can push around?
It doesn’t matter. You’ll always be a fat loser living in a one bedroom garage apartment, with no job, no future and no son.
