Joseph Malone was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
On 25 October1854 at Balaclava, Crimea (Charge of the Light Brigade), Sergeant Malone, while returning on foot from the charge, in which his horse had been shot, stopped under very heavy fire and helped a troop sergeant-major (John Berryman) and other sergeant (John Farrell) to move a very severely wounded officer (who subsequently died) out of range of the guns.
Malone was charged by information filed September 25, 2000 with two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substance, 75 Pa.C.S.A. ยง 3731(a)(1), (4).
Malone was sentenced at count one (DUI) to a term of imprisonment of one to two years, with alternative housing permitted, effective July 27, 2000, and with parole granted effective July 27, 2001.
Malone's attorney indicated on the record that they had discussed the advisability of filing a post-sentence motion and that Malone had voluntarily waived filing such a motion.
