We recently received a communication
from a gentleman who had read the Shoals Crime post Kinky Killen Kidnapping. He states he was a victim of Andrew Daniel Scott and had
reported the theft, but has not received any restitution from the
young man...and he’s looking for answers, not to mention money.
One route the victim inquired about was
hiring his own attorney. Unless the amount he lost was well into the
thousands, we don’t see that as being economically feasible. If he
wants to be sure Scott pays as some kind of justice, then it might be
morally worth it to him.
Unfortunately, it’s possible that
this theft may have been admitted by Andrew Scott, but not
specifically listed in any of his indictments and, therefore, not
legally binding to require restitution. Since Scott was arrested
again last November, anyone who has been a victim should contact the
Lauderdale County District Attorney’s office for help in how to
proceed now that Hottie Scottie is again active in the system and
awaiting further sentencing.
If this theft was documented and
mentioned in Scott’s previous plea agreement, the victim (or other
victims) should contact the office of the circuit court clerk to
determine if the courts are holding any funds for disbursement. There
seems to be close to two dozen reported victims in the wake of Andrew
Daniel Scott’s seven-year long crime spree, and we doubt all will
ever be repaid.
And, yes, it’s very sad when anyone’s
hard earned money is taken from them and winds up in the nose or arm
of a douche bag.
