Glen Anthony Ryland today told district court Judge W. Turner Stephenson III he would like a court-appointed attorney to handle the probation review tentatively scheduled for October 4 as well as the second-degree murder charge and other counts lodged against him in the September 2 crash in Hollister.

Stephenson appointed Roanoke Rapids attorney Sammy Webb to represent him through the proceedings.

Both the probation review and other charges filed against him will be heard.

Halifax County Assistant District Attorney Kanter S. Morris told the court, “The state is seeking medical records for the defendant to aid in the investigation of this case.”

The state Highway Patrol last week confirmed it is working with the district attorney’s office to obtain a subpoena for medical records, which would show Ryland’s blood alcohol content at the time of the crash on Highway 43.

Briana Bugg, a senior at Park View High School in South Hill, died the following day from injuries sustained in the crash.

The second-degree murder charge was added after a review of Ryland’s driving record.

The highway patrol said that review shows Ryland was on probation for DWI when the crash occurred as Bugg and her family were traveling to Greenville for an ECU football game.

Ryland, according to state Department of Public Safety records, has had two DWI convictions in Halifax County, one on June 2 in which he was sentenced to 24 months probation and one on May 27 of last year in which he was sentenced to 18 months probation. The conviction this year stems from an offense in February of last year while the 2016 conviction stems from an offense in January of 2015.

He also has pending charges in Warren County where he is scheduled to appear in court on November 15 for DWI; possession of open container; civil revocation; driving while license revoked impaired driving; fail to maintain to lane control and hit and run/fail to stop for property damage.

In September of 2013 he had a DWI charge dismissed for lack of evidence in Northampton County.

In 1990 in Northampton County he had a conviction of DWI which ended with a 30-day sentence and 12-months probation.
