Witts/Two-Ups/Still Waiting on Waterloo!

Ah, what can we say about the extremely litigious Resa & Terry Witt? Earlier this year, they attempted to sue/bring charges against/besmirch the good name of a local veterinarian, an animal control officer, and a Colbert County deputy. Now they're after the Florence police, a small burger chain, and even the civil rights attorney who obviously saw right through them. 

Stay tuned...we can hardly wait for the next installment.

Returning to the two Hartline children who lost their lives in a Franklin County ATV accident, we've had several tell us the road on which the accident happened was not public. We've even had some say the ATV had been specially tricked out to hold more passengers.

While we can't say if the road could possibly be private or not, we can say that these after market back seats, called "two-ups," are not meant for passengers. Here's a great article on them:

Two-Ups

We have heard that the Hartline mother who managed to ditch her husband, move to a different town, find a job, and re-marry, but didn't get her life together enough to take custody of her kids, has stated she will sue DHR over the children's deaths. Okay, so that was no surprise.

A short word for the few who feel that all helmet/seat belt laws should be ditched. Perhaps for adults, but not for children. We're pretty sure a four-year old isn't capable of making such a life or death decision.

Still waiting to hear from anyone from Waterloo who contacted us about the possible illegal recruiting who also stood up to the county on the Paradise Drive situation a few years ago. Anyone at all...

Witts File Formal Complaints Against Deputy

The Witts have filed two complaints against Colbert County Sheriff's Deputy Jamie Klaska. Both Terry and Resa Witt spoke with Chief Deputy James A. Heffernan, Jamie Klaska's immediate superior, and lodged the two complaints based on state law. 

What happens now? Either Heffernan or Sheriff Frank Williamson will forward the complaints to the Colbert County district attorney's office which will then present the case to the grand jury. Aside: This is why important criminal cases take so long to be prosecuted.

So, no, Lt. Chief Deputy Jamie Klaska has not been arrested. We sincerely doubt that he will be indicted, but if he is we doubt that there would be a conviction in such a case. 

Resa Witt has also hinted at federal charges, even going so far as to mention prison time. We eagerly await her interview with a federal prosecutor on the matter...

Perceptions! It's easy to jump to conclusions, isn't it? When we attempted to retrieve a photo of Jamie Klaska from his Facebook page, we found a photo of an animal skin rug being used as his cover icon:

Many men on Facebook post pics of dead bodies in various states, but seeing this rug didn't make us think more of the deputy. Then we continued to look for a photograph of Klaska himself. We didn't find one, but we did find this in a album:

Ah, yes, quite an attractive rug, isn't he (or she)? Our opinion of the deputy rose greatly!

Rating Terry & Resa Witt the "Scumma de Terra"

Above are Terry and Resa Witt. Currently the Witts are in disputes with at least nine entities in the Shoals area. Nine? Perhaps we shouldn't count the TimesDaily, but we'll throw that one in last. Here's the rundown: 

1. The Witts say they took a presumably healthy cat to be boarded at a doctor's office. The veterinarian says Terry Witt asked for the cat to be euthanized. (Domestic vengeance? Just a thought.)

2. The Witts say a Colbert County animal control officer blackmailed them over the cat when they wanted to get it back. The officer denies this allegation.

3. The Witts say the Colbert County administrator refused to give them the public records they asked for. The administrator says it takes time to get salary information on ALL of Colbert County's employees. We'll throw in a "we say" here also: The administrator probably had to get the info printed out from payroll and picked up there. Such information should NOT be readily available on everyone's computer.

4. The Witts say a Colbert County Sheriff's deputy harassed Terry Witt. The deputy says he simply asked Witt to calm down and leave the courthouse at that particular heated moment. A word of advice: If law enforcement asks you to do something, it's always a good idea to do it.

5. The Witts say everyone who averred the deputy was simply doing his job were lying.

6. The Witts say Colbert County Sheriff Frank Williamson is being investigated for theft of county funds. Nothing has been reported on any such investigation so far.

7. The Witts say head of Colbert Animal Control is in cahoots with the animal control officer. The head of animal control says the officer's story checks out.

8. The Witts say the Animal Control Board is corrupt and are starting a website to reveal all.

9. The Witts say the TimesDaily hasn't accurately told their story. Our personal take is that the local rag has already given these would-be cat killers too much space already.
