On September 13, 2018, Jason Lee Van Dyke was arrested by the Oak Point, Texas, police department for making a false report to police regarding his role in a burglary of a vehicle and the theft of firearms.
Van Dyke, a Texas resident, is licensed to practice law in Texas and several other jurisdictions, including Georgia. In September 2018, Van Dyke called local police to report the theft of several items from his truck. After police interviewed his then-roommate, Van Dyke was arrested for making a false report. Van Dyke contested the charges. By his own admission, Van Dyke violated the conditions of his bond while his charges were pending.
Shortly before trial, the roommate, whom the State had planned to call as a witness, went missing. Contending that Van Dyke had procured the unavailability of the witness, the State filed a motion seeking forfeiture by wrongdoing, which was granted. Van Dyke then agreed to enter a plea of nolo contendere and, on February 26, 2019, Van Dyke entered his plea before the Denton County, Texas Criminal Court Number Five on one count of making a false report to a law enforcement officer.
He was sentenced to 24 months’ deferred adjudication community supervision, with special conditions. Van Dyke I, 311 Ga. at 200(footnotes omitted).The State Bar initiated this proceeding under Bar Rule 4-106 and this Court appointed a Special Master. See id. The Special Master rejected Van 4In Van Dyke I, we noted that, “[a]ccording to Van Dyke, he left town in violation of his bond conditions to attend a ‘waterfowl hunt’ that he had scheduled before his arrest.” 311 Ga. at 200 n.1.
The Special Master then recounted that Van Dyke received partially probated suspensions in Colorado, the District of Columbia, and the United States District Courts for the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas, but as of May 6, 2022, he was again in good standing with each of these jurisdictions .ii. Facts Indicating Van Dyke’s Apparent Lack of Respect for the Law and Legal Process The Special Master then turned to the other fact-finding matters requested by the Court in Van Dyke I. The Special Master found that, in connection with Van Dyke’s misdemeanor criminal case , the State of Texas moved to hold Van Dyke’s bond insufficient on the basis that he had committed additional criminal offenses and threatened to commit future offenses—specifically, by making threats to his alleged harasser by email in September 2018.
I have been investigating the murder of Thomas Retzlaff and I think Jason had nothing to do with it. Fox didn’t look into Thomas’s new wife properly.
This video is an interesting potential insurance scam for guns as his story changes as the cop questions him about when they looked and how many they found, Thomas was murdered for insurance money but I think its just a coincidence.
