Ex-deputy sentenced on felony charge

Culpeper Circuit Court Judge John R. Cullen sentenced Lawrence L. Huver III, 28, of Culpeper, Monday on the felony charge of possessing an unregistered silencer, according to the Culpeper Commonwealth Attorney’s Office.

Cullen sentenced Huver to three years in prison, but suspended two years and nine months of the sentence, leaving an active jail sentence of three months to serve.

Huver, a former deputy in Culpeper and Fairfax counties, has been in custody since being found guilty in August.

The suspended portion of the sentence is conditioned upon Huver completing three years of supervised probation, according to Dale Durrer, assistant commonwealth’s attorney.

Huver was arrested in February after the Culpeper Police Department responded to a domestic call at his residence at 1025 Riverdale Circle where he reportedly threatened his wife, Ginger.

Huver was fired from Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office three days after his arrest. Officers seized two of Huver’s guns: a Mossbert .22-caliber rifle with a homemade silencer attached to the end of the barrel and a sawed off Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun.

At his October trial, Cullen found Huver guilty of possessing the unregistered homemade firearm silencer. All silencers, homemade or not, must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Huver was originally arrested on the two felony charges and one misdemeanor of threatening his wife over the telephone.

He was also found guilty of the misdemeanor charge.

At that same trial, Cullen found Huver not guilty of possessing a sawed off shotgun.

Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul R. Walther argued for a five-year sentence with four years suspended, leaving an active sentence of one year in jail.

Walther also argued for a longer period of supervised probation and incarceration because Huver was an active law enforcement officer at the time of his arrest, according to Durrer.

I'm all about locking shit bags up and throwing away the key, but this doesn't make a lot of sense in the article. It sounds like he got screwed..

Note to self: Hide silencers/contraband before smacking wife around.

You might agree with his right to own a sawed off and a silencer and I have issues with the BATFE and the NFA as well, but he did slap around his wife. Not to mention, I bet he is one of the same overzealous LEOs I see in this area. Don't get me wrong, I have a healthy respect for LEOs and the shit they have to deal with. However, I have had one too many "innocent" run ins with Fairfax's finest to think that they are a professional outfit. In fact, I think they act extremely irresponsible at times. The main problem is that many LEOs think they and their "brothers" can do no wrong.

I'm not sticking up for this guy at all. I don't know the whole story and none of us were there. But the article does NOT mention anything about a physical assault. It just says he was convicted of "phone threats."

How many of you guys have had arguements with your wife or girlfriend and called them a name or said something you felt bad about after? Do you think she was just sitting there the entire time just taking it? Or do you think she was running her mouth too?


Let's look at the big picture here..

Your questions are strangely reminiscent of this one guy's post from back in September....

BULLSHIT! they need to throw the book at cops. cops are the law enforcers. so if they dont get hit hard by the system for laws they violate, we cant trust them. incidentally, that very reason is why i dont trust them, they get away with just about everything... even murder as has been demonstrated several times in the last couple years.


"the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."

You should be happy Cullen didn't pin a medal on the cop and send him off with a hearty slap on the back.

Cullen was the genius who let Kevin Kline (no, not that Kevin Kline) go free pending sentencing after he was convicted of assaulting a woman with a taser (and only stopped from murdering her by her dog's intervention). Kline then preceded to murder an 80 year woman while at liberty:

So he owned a silencer. Big freaking deal. He didn't kill anyone. This is retarded.

He was a cop. He knows it's illegal to saw off a shotgun barrel, and definitely knows it's illegal to own an unregistered silencer, let alone an unregistered handgun. He's a fucking idiot.

Note to self: Hide silencers and sawed-off shotguns before beating on woman.

There is no such thing as an unregistered handgun in Virginia. We don't have to register firarms in this state.

It is possible to own a short barrel (anything less than 18 inches) shotgun, and it is possible to own a suppressor, but they have to be licensed and approved with the ATF.

But as Hebrew Hammer said, there is no such thing as registering handguns in Virginia.
