Joe Harvey felt that the driver that drove into the lane in front of him cut him off. He followed this driver until she pulled into a parking lot. He got out of his vehicle and confronted her. An argument followed. Joe Harvey decided to “drive his point home” by grabbing his weapon and shooting the other driver’s car. He called 911 and was subsequently taken into custody.<\/p>\n

From the Military Times:<\/span><\/p>\n

Defense attorney Ralston Jarrett, in arguing for bond, said Harvey served 32 years in the Army and likely qualifies to have his case moved to Veterans Court<\/span><\/strong>, which deals with mental health issues resulting from military service. Harvey has no felony record, and could surrender all his firearms if released, Jarrett said.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Nicholas Hud asked Judge Julius Hunter to order Harvey held without bond, arguing that if someone turning in front of him so triggered Harvey that he emptied a pistol in a public parking lot, then he remained a danger to others, should a similar confrontation occur. Hunter agreed.<\/p>\n

Jarrett told the newspaper later that Harvey retired in 2018 with “severe PTSD” as a consequence of serving in Desert Storm and other combat operations. His treatment for the condition was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“He’s seen some things as a vet, as many have<\/span><\/strong>,” Jarrett said.<\/p>\n

Standing outside court with her daughter, Hearlson, 39, did not think Harvey’s PTSD excused his conduct.<\/p>\n

“I think he doesn’t need to be on the road, and he definitely don’t need to own a gun<\/span><\/strong>,” she said.<\/p>\n

She said Harvey made eye contact with her daughter as his bullets hit their car, each shot advancing toward her, a memory she’s unlikely to forget.<\/p>\n

“My child might have PTSD now from what he done to her<\/span><\/strong>,” she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As Jonn used to argue, there are many people with PTSD who don’t go around demonstrating violence. Chances are that these are issues that predate the PTSD. The Military Times has more information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
