Drug Possession: All About Jeffrey Patrick Frye
Jeffrey Patrick Frye is a career criminal who is on trial for robbing the First Citizens Bank in North Charleston on Christmas Eve 2008. On Wednesday January 28, 2009 Magistrate Linda Lombard set his bail at one million dollars. This might seem like quite a lot of money for a single criminal act, but this is not the first time that Jeffrey Patrick Frye has done something against the law…and gotten caught.
Jeffrey Patrick Frye has a rap sheet that spans decades. The robbing of the First Citizens Bank was just one in a string of seven bank robberies that stretched across South Carolina and finally ended after a stand off at the Econo Lodge on Saul White Boulevard that lasted three hours.
According to an article in the Post and Courier, written by Susan Hill Smith, Jeffrey Patrick Frye began his criminal career in the later years of the 1980s. It was then that he was first arrested for check fraud, but according to witness reports and character statements, the man had been a thief for long before that. People who let him stay in their homes reports that he took things from them. As far as we know, he does not have his own residence, preferring to rely on the kindness of others and then (we’re pretty sure) stealing from them while they sleep.
So it is our contention that Jeffrey Patrick Frye is just not a good guy.
In 2002 he stole the purse of a woman who was watching her son die in the hospital. He took her purse from the waiting room, stole the family’s car and took thousands of dollars from their bank account. Also in 2002, he was chased through Charleston in a two hour police car chase that came to head as he holed up in a Bojangles and somehow managed to keep the police outside for two hours.
His latest wave of crime—the seven bank robberies—is not anything new. He was caught after his most recent robbery, but his pattern of theft matches the theft pattern in six other banks in the area, leading to the seven counts charged in his current trial. According to the police, in each of the seven bank robberies the bank robber did not try to hide his face from bank personnel or security cameras. He simply handed a note to the teller that demanded cash. The police say that he never showed any of the tellers a weapon.
A former paralegal, Jeffrey Patrick Frye has also had his share of problems with drugs. This career criminal with a more than fifteen page long rap sheet has also been arrested for drug possession numerous times. Drugs in his possession included xanax, crack and cocaine.
Somehow Frye always managed to avoid getting caught immediately; choosing instead for highly dramatic chases and escapes. It is unlikely now; however, that he will be a free man any time soon. And Charleston is certainly better off without this man on the streets.
