VIRGINIA BEACH
A judge today dismissed the case against a former Virginia Beach police sergeant convicted of extortion last year.
Circuit Judge A. Joseph Canada Jr. set aside the verdict against Jesse Burton Spry III. It was the first time Canada has set aside a verdict in his 13-year tenure on the bench.
Last September, a jury found Spry guilty of the felony extortion and recommended a six-month punishment and $2,500 fine.
The issue began in May 2006 when a man started the process for obtaining the title for a Jeep CJ-7 he thought was abandoned. The vehicle belonged to Spry, who threatened to arrest the man and his son if he did not pay $8,200 for the beat-up Jeep.
Judge Canada said the case didn't rise to extortion but was a disagreement over price.
Spry was a 28-year veteran of the Police Department when he retired.
