Groom arrested at wedding pleads to separate traffic charges
By MARLO BARNHART / Staff Writer
The bridegroom who was whisked away from his wedding last October on charges stemming from a July car chase will be separated from his new wife while he serves three days in jail for an earlier traffic offense.
Timothy Lee Faith, 29, of Hancock, pleaded guilty Thursday in Washington County Circuit Court to driving on a revoked license in a November 1999 traffic stop on U.S. 522 when Maryland State Police nabbed him for speeding.
"He tells me he wasn't aware he was revoked," said attorney Edward Button who represented Faith on that charge Thursday.
Faith's extensive past record included a 1992 alcohol-related conviction, a 1993 driving while revoked, a 1995 driving while intoxicated and numerous failures to appear for prior court hearings, according to court records.
Charges arising from the July 1 warrant for a 90 mph car chase through three states weren't addressed in court Thursday.
