Charges dropped against man accused of harassing Staunton prosecutor

STAUNTON — A man accused of harassing Staunton Commonwealth’s Attorney John Baber saw charges that he violated two protective orders go by the wayside last week in general district court. In June, Baber obtained a personal protective order against Aaron Q. Barmer, 49, of Staunton, after alleging a months-long pattern of unwanted contact. According to court filings, Barmer repeatedly approached the prosecutor at a public meeting, outside his office, on downtown streets and a community event. Baber said the interactions escalated to the point he feared for his family's safety. Barmer was charged with two counts of violating the PPO in July. He was arrested and held at Middle River Regional Jail for four days before being released on bond. A special prosecutor from Rockingham County was appointed to handle the case. However, Barmer's attorney, Eugene Oliver, filed a motion to dismiss on the grounds that prosecuting him violated his First Amendment rights. Amanda Drumheller Strecky, the special prosecutor, supported the motion, and the charges weren't pursued. Baber then asked Judge Gordon Saunders to remove his name from the PPO, and the judge subsequently dissolved the order. A capias was also dismissed. Described in the motion as a political activist,

Why Do Shenandoah Valley Travelers Keep Pulling Off For Pancakes At Southern Kitchen In New Market?

Interstate 81 is a long road, and somewhere near New Market a lot of drivers make the same quiet decision. They flip on the blinker and head for breakfast. The reason is not a flashy billboard or a viral trend. It is a small roadside diner that has been feeding the Shenandoah Valley for about seven decades, opening its doors at 7 AM every single day of the week.
