Christine Weston Chandler: Difference between revisions

Line 41:

In 2011, Chandler's father Robert died of heart failure, devastating her. Another life-changing event would happen in 2014, when an extension cord fire burnt down the Chandler family home, Chandler would post about the fire on Facebook, sharing that she "lost our home and our memories." A CBS 19 report said that the house fire started around 3 a.m. and that it started in a first-floor bathroom.

Financial burdens stemming from the house fire and debt accrued after the passing of Robert caused Chandler to have to sell off belongings and create sculptures, comics, and art to be bought by fans on Patreon, Ebay, and Etsy.

Financial burdens stemming from the house fire and debt accrued after the passing of Robert, as well as legal fees from the assault trial(see Other Arrests), caused Chandler to have to sell off belongings and create sculptures, comics, and art to be bought by fans on Patreon, Ebay, and Etsy.

Line 54:

Shortly after the initial post, it was discovered that the other person in the calls and texts was [[Isabella Loretta Janke]], a 20-year old college student who had blackmailed other people online. Further searching led to the discovery that this call was part of a plan to blackmail Chandler, possibly into suicide or self-harm. This is a sharp contrast from other groups and individuals that trolled Chandler in the past, as they were merely doing so for their own amusement.

== Other arrests ==

In addition to the incest arrest, Chandler has been arrested for various other offenses. Most were public disturbance or trespassing offenses, but some were notably violent(interestingly they both occurred at video game retailers).

* October 28, 2011: Chandler had previously been banned from Cville's Hobbies, Games and Toys, also known by herself as the Game Place. After numerous failed attempts to reverse the ban, Chandler ran over the store's manager Michael Snyder with her car. She was charged with assault, failure to stop after an accident, and trespassing. Because Barb also hit Snyder with her van and attempted to stop the police from arresting Chandler, she was charged with failure to stop and assault on a law enforcement officer. They pled guilty and were sentenced to community service and probation. Chandler was also ordered to undergo psychological treatment and evaluation.

* December 26, 2014: In protest of Sonic the Hedgehog's usually tan arms being changed to blue in the video game ''Sonic Boom'', Chandler had vandalized displays of the game. This resulted in her being banned from the GameStop in Charlottesville. In retaliation, she pepper-sprayed the manager(it did not injure him as it only hit his shirt) Similarly to the Snyder incident, Chandler pled guilty and received a sentence similar to the previous crime. In this instance, losing the case could have resulted in a felony charge, as "Dangerous gas, unlawful release" is a class 6 felony in Virginia if the offender does so non-maliciously.
