A 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 15, arraignment has been scheduled in Newton County Circuit Court for alleged Internet pervert Gary Reed Blankenship, 56, Neosho.
Blankenship was bound over for trial after a preliminary hearing today, more than 10 months after his arrest as a result of a sting by Diamond police officer Jim Murray.
Blankenship, a former top official at O'Sullivan Industries in Lamar, is charged with nine counts of possession of child pornography and one count of enticing a child. He was arrested in Diamond after allegedly coming to the city to meet a teenage girl he had talked to over the Internet.
I hope they hang him this time.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to arraign his butt right up the nearest flag pole.

ReplyDeleteThe rope and flag pole suggestion might be considered cruel and unusual punishment, but 20 years in a cell with Big Bubba might be appropriate.
ReplyDeleteAnd now he works at Kohl's in Joplin. Can't wait to go to that dressing room!
