I want to get props to Larry Wayne Price Jr for not saying Black people kidnapped him, thank you very much.
I get that he committed a crime, but his bail is outrageous. There are murderers, rapists and violent offenders who get a lower bond than this, I know it is federal crime, but come on the man just wanted to start a life with his side chick.
After a Virginia man was reported missing, then found hours later on the side of the road, he told police he was kidnapped, drugged and held against his will by members of a motorcycle gang. The FBI says he fabricated that story and several others so he could disappear and start a new life with his mistress.
Larry Wayne Price Jr. was arrested last week and charged with lying to federal authorities. He was being held on a $500,000 bond. Price’s lawyer, Justin Lugar of Roanoke, declined to comment.
Prosecutors said after Price’s wife reported him missing April 14, police in his hometown of Bluefield and the county sheriff’s office launched a massive search that included the use of state police helicopters and dogs.
Agents discovered he contacted a woman the day he was reported missing. Price said the woman managed a restaurant he owned and denied having an affair with her.
She eventually told authorities she had Price had discussed “wanting to disappear.” She said they decided to move in to a house near her father’s home to start a new life together.
$500k is out of control for someone who has no criminal history. Maybe they should do that to women who make false accusations.
