According
to investigation, Jackson Zleh Towah’s bizarre behavior, including his
nonstandard character, is the result of his chronic substance abuse,
Lancaster County substance abuse program records show.
Jackson Zleh Towah, one of Grand Geedeh County Association-Henry Glay’s camp spokespersons, was reportedly arrested, in 2005 in Jessup, the State of Maryland two times on charges of driving under the influence of substances not mentioned, and a charge of driving wrong way. He pleaded guilty to the latter but was sent to the ARD program on DUI charges after serving his term.
The ARD, Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition, was implemented by the state of Pennsylvania in the 1980’s as a means to accelerate the court process in criminal cases such as first offense DUI’s that would not jeopardize the public’s safety if the defendant were allowed back on the streets.
Towah, born on November 11, 1970, was placed on the ARD program from 2005 to 2007. It is not clear if Towah’s rehabilitation was completed. when contacted, a psychiatrist, who asked for anonymity, because she was still monitoring Towah’s behavior, confirmed that the 39 years old still needs help.
According to PA ARD program, by admitting first time PA DUI offenders into the ARD program, the state of Pennsylvania is able to avoid lengthy court proceedings and the defendant is able to have their DUI expunged from their criminal record once they complete the ARD program. But Towah’s criminal record is still open.
Jackson Towah, without an interrogation, told the people of Liberia that he is a graduate of Cape Town University in South Africa and a graduate of a University in Canada. He said he was a current student at Johns Hopkins University. Investigation and witness testimonies found he lied about his educational background. Towah is usually in conflict with people whom he verbally attacks, using vulgar languages.
Inside sources in the Grand Geeded County Association say Towah is a very ruthless person who is inconsiderate of his kinfolks.
