Jeffrey Wayne Armentrout was scheduled to appear on the three Class 1 misdemeanor charges, which stem from an incident reported on July 5.
The Virginia Online Case Information System reports that Armentrout was granted a continuance on the firearm charges to Sept. 4, listing as the reason for the continuance, “failure to appear.”
The failure to appear generated a fresh charge for failure to appear.
The Virginia Online Case Information System, under the “Defendant Status” line item on the failure to appear charge, reports Armentrout as a “fugitive.”
Armentrout is due to appear in Staunton General District Court on Aug. 13 on the reckless driving charge from the April 5 political protest.
