He used grass clippings in a baggie to lure in his victims who he then robbed with a BB gun, escaping on the handlebars of his partner&#8217;s bicycle. Since 2004 he has been in and out of jail for stealing from folks. He&#8217;s even run from the police until he got tired. Last year, he was arrested for robbing a doctor&#8217;s office at gun point;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But last October, a judge granted bond anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors appealed and it was revoked, then reinstated a few weeks later by a different judge.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, McClenney was required to wear a GPS monitoring bracelet, but that was dropped months later by another judge. <\/p>\n<p>Even McClenney didn&#8217;t seem to think it was a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>A Feb. 11 post on his Facebook page read: &#8220;They done (expletive) up and let me loose.&#8221; The statement was followed by several emojis: tears of joy, smirking face, and bands of cash.<\/p>\n<p>Then on June 24, four months after the ankle monitor was removed, McClenney was charged with another crime \u2013 a hold-up at a 7-Eleven near Town Center.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At that crime scene, the clerk shot him in the neck in self-defense and paralyzed McClenny, you know, while he was out on bond from his last crime, before his next trial.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>McClenney was charged with two counts of robbery, wearing a mask in public, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and two counts of using a firearm while committing a felony.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his physical condition, the commonwealth&#8217;s attorney still plans to try him for the robberies of the doctor and the 7-Eleven.<\/p>\n<p>If he is convicted and sentenced to prison, the Virginia Department of Corrections is able to house him, department spokesman Greg Carter said in an email. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Currently we have 25 prisoners with some level of paralysis,&#8221; Carter wrote. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So it took a 7-11 clerk to do what the judicial system was unable to do, put McLenney out of the armed robbery business. You should read the whole article, just to get the sense of the danger a judge was willing to unleash on his community when he cut this criminal loose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virginian-Pilot tells the story of career criminal 27-year-old Davin McClenney whose first documented crime was when &hellip; <a title=\"The Davin McClenney story\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=73665\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Davin McClenney story<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73666,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/73666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
