Two St. Pauls officials charged with fraud

To the Mayor, Police Chief and Town Manager of Saint. Pauls, North Carolina. I,am writing you to let you know, that after three years of sending dozens of certified letters to numerous state and federal agencies to include the US Senate; State of NC, Department of Justice; NC State Highway Patrol and many other State and Federal agency's. I even had the opportunity to have a one on one meeting with Congressman Mike McIntyre. In these certified letters I included criminal charge sheets for foreign nationals that committed offenses like DWI and auto accidents that caused serious injury. I'm very proud to say that something has finally been done about the potential deadly problem that I was trying to get addressed. I have had three Law Enforcement officers come into my store and look me in the eye and thank me for for all the efforts that contributed to the change in the handling of foreign nationals involving motor vehicles. To know, now that after all my efforts, when a foreign national is removed from a 3000 pound weapon for DWI or a felony here in Saint Pauls they are going be detained until they can be positively identified. The days of the past are gone, foreign nationals are no longer allowed to only pay their cash bail and disappear without ever being positively identified and never show up for their scheduled court date, and to only assume another identity and go back to driving drunk and endangering innocent peoples lives. I only can wonder to how many innocent people in the local area have been killed or seriously injured by a foreign national who was allowed to bail out from a previous offense and never be positively identified to turn around and go right back out and drive drunk. We will never know!!
I think it is a shame that it took someone like me with only a 10th grade education to see the problem here and get something done about it. In my meeting with Congressman McIntyre i said to him that I think that the serving in the Marines messed up my thought process, I was lead to believe that the Government was here to protect and serve the citizens, Congressman McIntyre said he had to agree with me. I believe, that anyone in the Saint Pauls government that had the power to do something about this just chose not to try or even try to address the issue at a higher level should seek employment in another field, because you are not here to protect and serve.
In the twelve years that I have been in this area, I have had several officers come in my store and complain about the problem. Up until 2008, NC DMV handed out drivers licenses like candy. The DMV offices were under orders from Wayne Hurdder, who sent memo's out to all of the states DMV's offices to not question the documents that the foreign nationals provided to get a drivers license. Hurdder who has since been let go from his position at the DMV. In many cases it was obvious that the documents that foreign nationals provided were bogus and bought for $1500-$2400. Now that DMV checks and scrutinize the documents provided to renew or get a new drivers license the foreign nationals just drive with out a license. In a one week period the Saint Pauls blotter showed that in the city there were 38 citations issued for "no operator license" in a population of 1900. I suggested to the DMV that something has to be done for the ones that they had already issued license to, they have families and jobs so that they can legally drive. Their has to be an answer here somewhere, an answer that will positively identify foreign nationals, and allow for holding them accountable for there actions while operating a motor vehicle.

Thank you for your time,
