Sissonville Man Violates Home Confinement

{West Virginia}...Eric Fields, 23, of Sissonville, who led police on a high-speed chase through Charleston and crashed into two parked cars, a house and a gas main, will go to jail for a year after he violated his home confinement rules. Prosecutors say Fields drank alcohol and left his home when he wasn't allowed to after he pleaded guilty a year ago to charges of fleeing while under the influence of alcohol and fleeing resulting in property damage and was ordered to the Anthony Correctional Center for Youthful Offenders. When he failed to show up, a capias was issued for his arrest in April and authorities found him hiding in a closet in a Cross Lanes home. Field's court-appointed defense attorney, Richard Holicker, told Kanawha Circuit Judge Tod Kaufman that Fields has Crohn's disease, and shortly after being taken to the Anthony Center, he was sent to a hospital for treatment. Holicker told Judge Kaufman that Fields had been "at death's door" because of his illness and asked for probation.
