NORFOLK
Christopher White, the man who was killed by Chesapeake police after he opened fire on officers on Monday, was released from jail because of an error made by a veteran court employee of 25 years.
Thomas Baldwin, clerk of Norfolk’s General District Court, said today that the clerk had prepared advance paperwork for the day’s docket and failed to make a correction that would have prevented White’s release.
The mistake happened in December; Baldwin said he learned of it in early March when the clerk and her supervisor notified him. He took disciplinary action at the time, he said, and changed the office’s policies. Now any release order written by a clerk must be double-checked by another clerk before it goes to the jail, Baldwin said. Clerks no longer prepare paperwork in advance, he said.
“Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the wounded police officer and to his family,” Baldwin said,”also to the family of Mr. Tione Vincent.”
Baldwin said the clerk "is absolutely devastated.”
Baldwin said he has fired employees for such errors. In a courthouse that handles more than 150,000 cases a year, he said, mistakes are bound to happen.
“We have the best training and the best technology,” Baldwin said. “But there will be errors when dealing with this volume.”
It is the second time this year that such an error led to the release of a man who was later suspected in a killing.
In Monday's case, White, 26, was identified as the man who fired an automatic rifle at his Chesapeake police pursuers following a chase. White was in a van with the body of Tione D. Vincent, who was abducted in Norfolk earlier Monday. Police said Tuesday that Vincent was killed by his captors. A Chesapeake police officer was shot and wounded.
Two others from the van who survived the shootout are in custody.
