Daniel Janney's Arrest in Bluefield Became a Story on the TV News in West Virginia

UPDATE: The embedded WVNS Channel 59 news video below on this blog entry of mine will no longer play as it used to play. This is only because the source of the news video - WVNS - has apparently removed it from their own website server, and most TV news websites routinely do this with most of their news videos after enough time has passed. You can still watch this very same WVNS Channel 59 news video here: Youtube video: Sex Offender Caught in Bluefield, West Virginia on Laundry List of Charges

So, it apparently did not take very long for a TV news station, WVNS Channel 59 in Ghent, West Virginia, to send Jessica Schueler, who is one of their field reporters, down to Bluefield, West Virginia today, to produce a story about Daniel Robert Janney's arrest in Bluefield, West Virgina late last March. The Bluefield Daily Telegraph published their own story about the arrest of Daniel Robert Janney early yesterday morning, and it was reported on the Channel 59 news by early yesterday evening.

BLUEFIELD, WV - A Maryland man was arrested in late March for public intoxication at Mountaineer Lanes in Bluefield, WV. According to the Bluefield City Police Department, after a routine check they discovered that the man, Daniel Janney, was wanted in Hartford County, Maryland on theft and destruction of property charges. 

He had also failed to register as a sex offender in West Virginia.

After the arrest, police received a tip that Janney was also wanted in Cecil County, Maryland for sexual assault charges. Detective Adams with Bluefield Police confirmed that Janney is wanted on four counts of sexual assault of a minor.

Janney is being held at Southern Regional Jail on a $5,000 bond, and is being detained for the sexual assault charges out of Maryland.

At about the :54 mark in the news video above, the man who news reporter Jessica Schueler mentioned as the one who provided the tips on the unsealed Cecil County, Maryland indictment against Daniel Robert Janney, to Detective K. L. Adams with the Bluefield Police Depatment, was none other than me, Robert Haynes. After I first watched this news video, I called the newsroom at WVNS TV in West Virginia to let them know who I am. I also sent an e-mail to news reporter Jessica Schueler at WVNS TV to let her know that I was that man who she mentioned in her reporting. Detective K. L. Adams has also since sent me an e-mail to personally thank me for my effort to notify him of the unsealed indictment.

I still have some unanswered questions after I watched this WVNS TV report. What was the deal with Daniel Robert Janney joyriding on the ATV in the parking area of Mountaineer Lanes? Shouldn't he have been charged with a more serious offense than just public intoxication if he was caught drinking an alcoholic beverage while riding an ATV around a parking lot? Or is this technically not illegal in West Virginia, because parking lots there are considered to be public roadways? I don't know about this. I sent an e-mail to Detective K. L. Adams to ask him about this issue, but I have not received a reply back from him on this yet.

I would like to point out to everybody here that this West Virginia TV news station - WVNS Channel 59 - would have never even produced and broadcast their story about the arrest of Daniel Robert Janney in Bluefield, West Virginia, if it were not for my hard work and efforts to go public with my own story about Daniel Robert Janney. I was also the one who began the effort to bring Daniel Robert Janney to justice. I began this effort in February of this year, 2014. This was over six weeks before the police in Bluefield, West Virginia even knew about Daniel Robert Janney, and what he was doing in their jurisdiction.

You're welcome, good people of Bluefield, West Virginia. Maybe now, your under-age children are just a little more safer than they were just over a month ago from today, because Daniel Robert Janney, the previously-unknown-for-at-least-five-months, convicted sex offender of more than fourteen years, and felony fugitive from a theft charge in Maryland, and another unrelated indictment in Maryland, which was for even more recent sex crimes committed against a female minor, can no longer pose a threat to any of them.

P.S. I created my own fund-raising web page on gofundme.com today. I did this because Daniel Robert Janney has put me at least $10,000 into debt - and this is only a conservative estimate of my overall losses. Please check my page out on gofundme.com, and please help me to publicize it on Facebook and Twitter too.

This is it:

I helped fight crime - Now I need help

It is almost a certainty now that Daniel Robert Janney will be serving yet another number of years in prison back in Maryland, sooner or later, just like he has in recent years of his past. This is simply because Cecil County in Maryland has already begun the process to extradite him from West Virginia to face trial on his four count indictment for sex crimes against a minor. I am the person who helped to make all of this happen. Although I have made many telephone calls about this, at this point, it does not even appear that I will be able to collect any type of a reward from Crime Stoppers in Maryland, or in West Virginia, for helping the police apprehend Daniel Robert Janney - a felony fugitive and unregistered sex offender who crossed state lines to evade justice.

All of this also means that Daniel Robert Janney will not be able to work and pay me back any time soon, since he is in jail now, and he will not be eligible for bail or bonding out because of his fugitive status. Daniel Robert Janney is set to be extradited from West Virginia to Maryland sometime soon, due to the serious nature of his charges in Maryland - sex crimes against a minor.

I started my page on the gofundme.com website so that I can hopefully start to recoup my financial losses due to my attempts, albeit failed attempts, to help Daniel Robert Janney reform himself and live a productive life.
