Cindy Overton
Right? Oh.
Woody Overton
Yes. Anyway, all right, so what do you have to start the.
Cindy Overton
Day? And we're going to Volusia County. Isn't that.
Woody Overton
Florida? I think so. Might be California. I don't.
Cindy Overton
Know. There was a 54 year old woman arrested for throwing coffee on a mother, her baby and the family dog during an argument over a leash.
Nina Jaskalainen was taken into custody and charged with two counts of battery following the Nov. 14 incident near New Smyrna beach, which is approximately 40 miles northwest of.
Woody Overton
Orlando. Yeah, so it's definitely.
Cindy Overton
Florida. Definitely Florida. So according to the probable cause affidavit filed by the Volusia county sheriff's office. The confrontation began around 8:35am along the 4100 block of Quail ranch Road. And the victim told deputies she was walking on an easement with her infant son and her dog. And she admitted her dog was not on a leash, but stated the animal was following closely alongside her. As they passed a gated property, Jaska Lanen, who was outside with her own dog, reportedly began yelling at the woman to put her pet on a leash. The situation escalated quickly. The victim told investigators that Jascalenen threw coffee on her dog while simultaneously stating her dog had been killed before. When the two women began to argue, Jaska Lanen advanced toward her gate, getting within approximately 20ft and threw the remaining coffee on the mother and the baby. So the victim began recording the encounter on her phone Shortly after the liquid was thrown. Deputies reviewed the footage and it showed Jasclainen standing behind the fence holding a light colored coffee mug while arguing with the victim. So then police were called and when they arrived, they noted the physical evidence supporting the victim's account and observed the dried coffee on the woman, the infant and the dog. And when questioned by law enforcement, Jaska Lanen reportedly admitted splashing the animal. She told deputies she threw the coffee because the unleashed pet was upsetting her own dog and she believed the group was trespassing on her property. Mind you, they're behind a gate. However, she denied intentionally throwing coffee on the woman or the child. So she's being held on a thousand dollar bond. And court records indicate she had her pre trial hearing on December.
Woody Overton
1St.
So there you walking by.
Cindy Overton
Yeah. I wonder what the leash law is in that, in that county.
Woody Overton
Most. Yeah, changes.
Cindy Overton
Everywhere.
Woody Overton
Right. Louisiana just can't allow your dog to roam freely. There's no actual lease.
Cindy Overton
Law.
Woody Overton
Right. As long as you have like verbal control over whatever. Yeah, it's crazy. And speaking of Louisiana, we'll go down to New Orleans and you know, I oftentimes talk about freeze plus p and pepper spray. And what is one kind of spray, do you think?
I don't even know why they sell it in.
Cindy Overton
Louisiana. Oh, like bear.
Woody Overton
Spray? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you hear about.
Cindy Overton
This? No, but I mean, I, I know that they do sell it so.
Woody Overton
Well. The New Orleans police department needs help identifying a woman who's accused of spraying bear spray on officers during an incident on November 23. Police said the battery of the law enforcement officer happened at Clout, Cluette and Street and Higgins boulevard where the woman used bear spray on a group of people during an event. When the cops got there and they intervened, she also sprayed them.
And then. And then she ran like a little bitch.
Ran like a little bitch in an unknown direction. I guess because they couldn't see. They got bear spray in her eyes.
Cindy Overton
Right?
Woody Overton
Yeah. So she's described as a woman with blonde hair, a butterfly tattoo on her chest, and tattoos on her right thigh and on the left side of her neck and shoulder. She is not going to get away. She is believed to be between 20 and 25 years old and they are asking for your help. Look, they have a picture of her. If they can't find this chick on social media.
Cindy Overton
Right. That.
Guest/Promo Host
Might. When they say butterfly tattoo on her.
Woody Overton
Chest. This picture has her dressed in camouflage and she's a African American female with blonde hair and her shirt is open, her boobs are hanging out, and she has a huge butterfly tattoo on there and numerous other tattoos. I mean, obviously they're going to get this check, but why are you carrying bear spray for that? Yeah, no, that's. I mean, bear spray cans are not like the little Freeze plus please cans. It's a big ass.
Cindy Overton
Canister.
Woody Overton
Yeah. I'm like, I'm pretty sure you meant to spray.
Cindy Overton
People.
Woody Overton
Yeah. And including the cops. We'll see how that works out for you because I do not believe you're going to get away. And that was thanks to Fox News out of New Orleans.
Cindy Overton
Right? Yeah. So I've got another short one. Are you going? You can.
Woody Overton
Go.
It's time for beast.
Cindy Overton
Mode.
So we're going to Texas.
And we have actually Tyler.
Woody Overton
Texas.
Cindy Overton
Right. There was a pet sitter and she was killed by the three dogs that she was pet sitting.
So according to Smith County Sheriff's office, Madison Riley Hull, who's 23 years old, was attacked by three dogs while pet sitting on Friday. Authorities were called to the home and found hole in lying in the backyard. When a deputy ran toward Hull, three pit bulls came toward him and he shot and killed one of the dogs, causing the others to run away so he could safely get Hull out of the backyard. But unfortunately she died a short time later. And that is the.
Woody Overton
Story. That's crazy. The. I mean, that's a bad way to go.
Cindy Overton
Right? That's a horrible way to.
Woody Overton
Go. Killed by the dogs. The. The. I don't know, but I will. I'm not trying to one up you. I have a story about dogs this time. Dogs and children. But it's not necessarily beast mode, y'. All. We're going to Washington state and police Got a, I guess a welfare check about a car with some children in it. And they go out to check it out and.
Then they.
Saw some shit they didn't want to see. They. They found five children and three dogs living in a car that was filled with trash and drug paraphernalia. All right? The children were 13, 11, 10, 8 and 5 years old. And they showed clear signs of neglect and had very little food available in the cramped car, which police in Vancouver, which is just north of the Oregon border, found in the city's downtown area. So they're in the middle of city. Right? But it's still cold up there this time of year. Right? Officer said they found meth. Imagine that on one of the suspects during their investigation. And another suspect admitted there was fentanyl in the car. But all five of these babies and these dogs. So animal control rolls out and they help remove the three dogs from what they're calling ghastly living conditions. And two of the dogs were extremely underweight and the third one had an untreated open tumor and had to be put down. Photos shared by police revealed the horrifying conditions inside the cramped car. One image showed several large garbage bags strapped to the top of the vehicle, while others illustrated how dirty and dangerous the living space is. Look at this shit. You got five kids in that car plus these dope head adults and the dogs. Several images also showed the drugs police found inside the vehicle. Now, thankfully, they arrested three adults, Natalie Gibron, Zakar, Zakara Edwards and Corleone Lewis. And they just charged them with a shit ton of charges, right? Gibran and Edwards were booked in to the Clark County Jail after being charged with five counts of endangerment with a controlled substance. Got to be the fentanyl in the mouth. One count of possession of a controlled substance and three counts of second degree animal cruelty. Now, Ms. Lewis was booked into jail on nine charges, including one count of possession of controlled substance with the intent to manufacture or deliver, two counts of unlawful camping, two counts of unlawful storage of personal property in public places, 1 count of possession of controlled substances, and 2 domestic violence related charges. Look at this vehicle, bro. If you go to do that with your kids, at least come south where it's a little bit warmer, even though it's cold here now. But it's. They said it's not clear if the three adults were related to the children or what their relationships were. They said due to the conditions inside the vehicle and the presence of drugs and dangerous conditions, all three adults were arrested and the children were placed in the custody of Child Protective Services and immediately taken to a hospital for evaluation. And naturally, the police sees this piece of vehicle as part of the investigation. Yeah, crazy. I mean.
You talk about kids that never have a chance.
That age. Those ages living in a car with three dogs and hey, they got money for fentanyl and.
Cindy Overton
Method. Exactly. That's. I mean, if it's a parent doing the best that they can and that's the options that they have. But when you add drugs on top of it.
Woody Overton
You.
Cindy Overton
Right. I think there should be.
Woody Overton
Better. I agree with.
Cindy Overton
You. I've got a cold.
Woody Overton
Case. Cold cases, okay. Not just a beer. We like solving cold cases. How about.
Cindy Overton
That? Well, for more than four decades, a woman who went missing. Her body has finally been.
Woody Overton
Found. And there you go, people. Ms. Barbara Blunt, Bradley Stricer. There's always.
Cindy Overton
Hope. And she was found floating inside a sleeping bag in San Francisco Bay. The cold case that had haunted the family has taken a step towards resolution. So on Monday, 81 year old Patrick Galvani was taken into custody on suspicion of murdering his estranged wife, Nancy Galvani in 1982. That does not seem like that long ago. Yeah, well, his arrest marks a dramatic break in a case that seemed destined to remain unsolved. On August 9th of 1982, a fisherman spotted a sleeping bag drifting near San Mateo bridge. And inside, police discovered a woman's body, dressed only in underwear, bound to a cinder block and showing signs of.
Woody Overton
Strangulation. Yeah, you think that the shows may be a little foul.
Cindy Overton
Play? You think? I agree. The body was identified a short time later as Nancy Galvani, and she was a 36 year old mom of a 5 year old girl named Allison. And at the time of her death, Nancy was in the midst of a contentious divorce from husband Patrick and had filed a restraining order against him two months prior.
The mother was seeking custody of her young daughter and had moved into a residence hotel in San Francisco's Tenderloin district for safety. Friends later recounted her fears that Galvani might harm the little girl if he got custody of her. So on August 8th of 1982, Nancy Galvani had been having dinner at her hotel when she received a call from her estranged.
Woody Overton
Husband. It had to be a landline call. They didn't have cell.
Cindy Overton
Phone. Exactly. And he asked on that phone call if he could pick up Allison early. And her car was later found in the garage of his Pacific Heights home. So whatever. Galvani was initially charged with the murder of his estranged wife, but the investigation stalled and prosecutors dropped the case. Keith Sorensen, San Mateo county district attorney, told the San Francisco examiner at the time that the case was too circumstantial and prosecutors would have less than 50% chance of winning a conviction. But over the decades, the case grew colder as investigators at the Foster City Police Department struggled with limited.

Herself. You hear people say your health.
Starts in your gut, but for women, it really starts with their hormones. When those levels aren't what they should be, everything just feels a little off.

RLRC but for the past 15 years it has been Nancy's daughter Allison that has been the driving force pushing for answers. Never give up. The daughter has for all of these years tried to push for justice for the murder of her mother and kept on pushing and.
Woody Overton
Pushing. Good for.
Cindy Overton
Her. The daughter has for all these years tried to push for justice for the murder of her mother and kept on pressing the Foster City Police Department to do it. And they would make, you know, certain efforts, but.
It Took a while, obviously. So Allison took an interest in her mother's case when she was a teenager and later immersed herself in the search for answers. She told the LA Times that she spoke to relatives about what they knew. She used social media to raise awareness. She met with detectives, and she eventually hired her own private investigators.
In a recorded 2010 call with his daughter.
When he was asked about the mother's death, Galvani denied killing Nancy, but reportedly said he would have killed her, but someone beat him to it. And he said, adding that that was the best thing that could have ever happened to her. He said this to the.
Woody Overton
Daughter.
Cindy Overton
Right. A wrongful death lawsuit that Alison galvani filed in 2013 was dismissed because too much time had passed. So on Monday, she was notified of her father's arrest. And she was so grateful that people had listened to her, she began to fear that perhaps people were not listening. The DA said, right. Prosecutors now have evidence that they did not possess in the.
Woody Overton
1980S. That's why we work the cases.
Cindy Overton
Including witness testimony that had previously been unavailable.
They said, we've had a couple witnesses who were not available. They couldn't be found. But now they've talked to us and what they believe that they will be important enough witnesses to stand.
Woody Overton
Trial.
Cindy Overton
Right. So the DA added that the new evidence strengthens the narrative and, you know, gives them there's a little bit.
Woody Overton
More, but they're taking the dude got 40.
Cindy Overton
Christmases.
Woody Overton
Yep. 40 Thanksgivings and thought he got away with it. So him never give up, never surrender. And that, you know, it's just goes to prove that anyone can be brought down and anyone can be collar.
It's time for family matters.
Going to Pennsylvania. Let's go to Jessica Guay with those details for us.
Jessica Guay
Now. Jess Can Fay County District Attorney Mike Aubel says prosecutors filed notices of aggravating circumstances against Courtney Utze and Sarah Shipley, the two women charged in the death of year old Renes Me. He says if they are convicted of first degree murder, the commonwealth will seek the death penalty. Just last week, Utsi and Shipley appeared in court where all charges, including homicide, were held for trial. Both women were legal guardians for Renesme Utsi, who was found dead in the Yak river in September. At first, Shipley and Utsi reported the girls missing. But as police investigated, they say they became suspicious of inconsistent statements made by Shipley and Utsi. Eventually, another child in the home told police she saw the two women putting Renesmee in a garbage bag and a plastic tote. Troopers say the two were taken to the police station where UTSI admitted to taking the girl to the Yak river and dumping her body. A trooper testified that six rocks were found in the garbage bag with Renesmee's body. Both women are accused of torturing, abusing and neglecting Renesmee and two other children in their care. They remain in jail while awaiting trial. In studio Jessica KDK news and.
Woody Overton
That'S just special kind of evil, right? And that's in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. And Pennsylvania has a moratorium right now on the death penalty there. Governor, what's this idiot's name?
Josh Shapiro. He I believe was involved in a whole Penn State scandal with the. He's promised not to issue any execution warrants during his term. And since 19, the 1970s only three people have been executed in Pennsylvania. But these, you know they said this was not an accident, this was not a medical thing. This was an intentional act and we are going to prosecute it as such. And one of the doctors testified that she evaluated a six year old the one, one of the other kids who was so emaciated or he was so emaciated that he was the size of a toddler and described his medical condition as torture. The doctor said an 11 year old told her Shipley removed one of her teeth with pliers and she determined the child suffered from physical abuse and educational neglect. Right. I mean it's just crazy the shit they did to these babies.
One witness testified that that you'd see admitted that the girl had been burned in the tub a week before and while her injuries may have gotten infected, she said she never sought medical care for the child. Courtney, you see said Rins me you see began to choke and vomit and despite trying to give cpr. Cpr she was unable to revive the girl. Well I think she's a lion piece of as they proven and you know some nine year old girl tortured murder. The other ones, the six year olds the size of a toddler don't deserve to breathe. People.
Cindy Overton
And.
Them we're going to San Antonio, San Antonio with some other horrific things happening to a child. But there's a man involved in a previous child injury case and he was in court on Monday regarding a nine month old girl who was found unresponsive in her crib in late January.
So the man who was caring for the little girl at the time was 30 year old Rick Artis and is accused of causing her fatal injuries. According to the arrest affidavit. Authorities were called to an apartment on ingram Road on January 25 of this year. After artists and the child's mother discovered the infant unresponsive, EMS arrived first and then pronounced the baby dead at 10:44am Shortly after the 911 call.
The mother told investigators she had been out the night before leaving three of her four children in Artis's career and she returned shortly after midnight and the children all appeared to be fine. The infant stood up in her crib smiling and alert, according to the affidavit. After a shower, the mother said the child was asleep and she and Artis went to bed around 3am she said she woke up around 10am To Artis frantically telling her that the baby was not breathing and when she checked the crib the infant was cold and stiff.
Ardis told detectives at the scene that the baby had been awake and acting like normally earlier in the night and he claimed he found her unresponsive after waking up and went to get formula before realizing she was cold. Investigators said they initially found no visible signs of trauma in the apartment, but two days later during the autopsy which was done by Bexar county medical examiner, they discovered a skull fracture and the injury was ruled to be a result of blunt force trauma and definitely not an accidental fall. The manner of death has been classified as a homicide. So on January 29, artists and the mother of the child agreed to return to police headquarters for additional interviews. While preparing for the meeting, detectives discovered Artis.
Had given false names at the a false name at the scene and had an active arrest warrant for a prior injury to a child case in 2018. That's right, in which another infant under his care suffered a skull fracture and died in 2020.
The mother repeated her original account during her interview and was then informed of the autopsy findings. Ardis declined to provide a new statement and was arrested on the outstanding warrant. So the next day investigators learned Ardis had contacted a paralegal and a friend on the morning of the infant's death, telling them the baby was unresponsive and the messages were sent more than an hour before anyone called. 911 surveillance footage from the neighbor's ring camera shows Artis outside on his phone at 9:33am the emergency call was made at 10:30. Authorities say Artis was the only adult caring for the baby in the hours before she died and failed to seek immediate help when he found her unresponsive. So he is now accused of injury to a child with intent to cause serious bodily injury and he's being held on a one million dollar.
Woody Overton
Bond. They'll get his ass on the inside. Yeah. Just not gonna stop. Evil, Evil.
Cindy Overton
Evil. Some people get out and they do really, really well. But it seems more and more.
Woody Overton
Like, I mean not like I'm talking about this guy. I know that baby would be alive. But anyway, here we go to Oklahoma. And I'm not even going to classify this as any specific category but you know, I always say convenience stores, especially before there were cameras and all that, we call them stop and robs. And unfortunately when they're open 24 hours a day, in this case it's a 7 11. They open 24 hours a day. And you work in the 11pm to 7am shift, you're going to get the worst of the worst. Right. So this, this lady who was a two year employee of Seven Eleven in Oklahoma, her name is Stephanie Dillard, she's 25 years old. And dude comes in the store, goes to pay for some shit and he gives her a hundred dollar bill. Well, she checks the hundred dollar bill and it's.
Cindy Overton
Fake.
Woody Overton
Yeah. And it's like I'm not taking it. And then this dude just goes berserk. All right. And he's 59 year old Kenneth Thompson. And he.
Goes behind the counter, he's throwing, doing all kinds of stuff and he attacks her and he puts his hands around her throat and starts to strangle.
Cindy Overton
Her.

Wow. Right. And so what would you do?
Defend yourself. Right. Yeah, well, fortunately. But it'll be unfortunately at the end of the story. Stephanie did the same thing. She was forced to defend herself and.
She said this was a situation where I felt like I was put into a corner between choosing between my job and my life. And I'm always going to choose my life because there's people that depend on me. You should just. I'm going to. I'm going home. You know, I need to be here for my kids. So what happened was she said he threatened me and said he was going to slice my head off. And she was trying to call police. He started throwing things and he came behind the counter. She tried to run off but he grabbed his hands around.
My neck and pushed me out of the counter space. And that's when she had enough and she pulled out her own gun and shot him good. And he ran like a little bitch.
He runs like a little bitch. But he realized, hey, what I'm actually sprung a leak. So he calls 911 for medical attention. Gunshot wound. She calls 9111 and tell him what happened. She shot him in the stomach.
The. But the problem with that is that it's against 711 policies and she was fired for using her own gun as a company policy stipulates that employees may not carry their own self defense weapons including mace or pepper spray. This is where the and they said it's punishable by termination. And you know this is where I always say y' all I'd rather be try tried by 12 and carried by 6 but in this case I'd rather be fired from 711 than be dead. I know how the you gonna.

Video. Yeah and and so they started to go fund me and stuff like that and the.
You know she she wrote as many already know, us overnight clerks are by ourselves. We have no security and we are not allowed to carry self defense weapons including mace. However, working conditions it was not realistic for me to be able to follow policy and be able to go home to my kids if a situation happened. That's when I decided to carry in the first place. I don't blame her. Dilla said she'd been working from 11pm to 7am on her own for much of the two.

Her experience, she hopes, will help prevent other clerks from being seriously injured during a potential attack. And you know, it just goes on and on. You have a right to defend yourself. The Thompson the was later arrested at a hospital and charged with assault and battery, threatened acts of violence, attempting to pass a fake bill. And imagine this felony warrant for violating parole. That's according to Fox News. So there you go. I hate that she got fired. 711 should be ashamed of yourself. And Oklahoma police said she was justifiable and defend herself. Yeah, but she still got.
Cindy Overton
Fire.
Woody Overton
Yeah. And you know young lady, if you lived anywhere close to us and I had the ability to give you a Job. I'd give you a job. Take care of your kids working 11 and.
Cindy Overton
7.
Woody Overton
Yeah. Just want to go home. Yeah. She's making a minimum wage, probably.
Cindy Overton
Going home, getting her kids ready for school, taking them to school, taking a short nap, doing the chores, doing everything. Going back to work after they.
Woody Overton
Go to bed, making minimum wage. But yeah, that's like, you know, the really, the stop and rob is what I call them. That's people between 11 and 7 in the morning. There's nobody but cops coming for donuts and coffee and drunks and bad.
Cindy Overton
People.
Woody Overton
Yeah. So anyway, there's that. What you.
Cindy Overton
Got? We're going to Minnesota for this one, right. I think about this sometimes because we have some really good friends that are realtors. In fact, our son is a realtor. He, he uses his license every now and again. But in Minnesota, there's a man that has been accused of orchestrating the kidnapping and murder of a real estate agent. Now this happened more than five years ago and he's been found guilty by a jury for a second time. But he's decided he wants a third retrial. So after nearly a month long retrial, 40 year old Lyndon Wiggins was found guilty of aiding and abetting 1st degree premeditated murder, aiding and abetting 1st degree Premeditated attempted murder, aiding and abetting kidnapping, aiding and abetting first degree murder while committing kidnapping. And his conviction is tied to the murder of Monique Ball. She was a 28 year old real estate agent and mother of two. They abducted her and fatally shot her on New year's Eve of 2019. And this was part of a retaliation plot against her.
Woody Overton
Boyfriend.
Cindy Overton
Nice. Prosecutors say Wiggins and three other people tricked Bao into setting up a home showing in Maple Grove, Minnesota. And when she arrived, two men bound her hands and neck with duct tape and forced her into a U Haul.
Woody Overton
Truck.
Cindy Overton
Nice. After about two and a half hours, the men eventually drove to Bao's home in Minneapolis where the victim's boyfriend was watching the couple's two children. They shot him several times.
Barry and Davis, the other men involved, later shot Bow in the alley in Minneapolis. So Bow's boyfriend was and local rapper John Mitchell Mahoma, who was identified as JM&M in court documents, later told authorities that he didn't know who was responsible for the shooting, but said that if anyone wanted to harm him, it would be Wiggins. So evidence was gathered by state prosecutors and that revealed that Mitchell, Mahoma and Wiggins were involved in a bitter conflict at a record label belonging to the rapper and that he snitched on Wiggins for drug.
Woody Overton
Dealing. I thought you were talking about a.
Cindy Overton
Realtor. These are the people that they. They stole the realtor because they had a vendetta against the boyfriend, which is the rapper. So Wiggins was originally convicted in 2022 and sentenced to life in prison for charges connected to Bao's murder, which is the real estate agent. The Minnesota supreme court reversed his conviction after learning that the trial judge had given the jury erroneous legal.
Woody Overton
Instructions. Yeah.
Cindy Overton
Whatever. We've heard of that before. Wiggins retrial, which began Oct. 14, ended in another conviction. And so he's now he's gunning for a third.
Woody Overton
Trial. Yep, keep gunning.
Cindy Overton
Buddy. Wiggins was expected to be sentenced to life in prison on November 13 without the possibility of parole. But his defense attorney filed a motion for a new trial, which delayed his.
Woody Overton
Sentencing. They do that on every. Every case I've ever got a conviction on. They always immediately file for a.
Cindy Overton
Retrial. So. And the judge explained that. The judge said he'd have to read through the new motion before making a decision. And they said, I think that this is her strategy. This is the way that she works. And when I say she, I'm talking about the defense attorney. Val's mother said, because you wait until the day of the sentencing, you send a 13 page motion to get a new trial right before sentencing. I mean, who does.
Woody Overton
That? Who does that? Everybody does.
Cindy Overton
That. Exactly. So anyway, that's.
Just talks about spending time without her on the, you know, how our children are doing and spending holidays without her in the legal system. Just using all the.
Woody Overton
Boys. Pretty dangerous thing back in the years past.
You know, some serial rapists would get female realtors alone and rape.
Cindy Overton
Them.
Woody Overton
Yeah. And stuff. And not all of them got killed. But I mean, certainly, I know they have different things and ways to try to deter that now, whether it's cameras in the properties or whatever, but it sucks. But look, real quick.
We'Re going to see our favorite sheriff out of state sheriff, Sheriff Grady Judd. All right? And they have. This has to do with realtors also. So had a guy named RJ Webb, and he became president of the East Polk County Association Realtors back in. In 2021. And when he became president, he's digging into shit and, you know, trying to overtake the job and all that. He noticed that something wasn't right and that the numbers just didn't add up. So what do you do? He turns to the association CEO and says, hey, homie, give Me the numbers. Let me go over and see what was. What's wrong here? Well, the CEO said go fuck yourself. Oh, right. So then they get into a year long battle and Sheriff Grady Judd's people stepped in because the battle ended with criminal charges which alleged extortion attempts and a cautionary tale about how small membership organizations across America are vulnerable to theft. Remember we talked about the one the other day, ladies, still 8 million.
Cindy Overton
Bucks.
Woody Overton
Yeah. So on the November 21st, Polk County Sheriff Grady J. I'd love to interview that dude. Announced the arrest of 53 year old Jennifer Garlula Merz, who's the former CEO of the East Polk County association of Realtors or EPCAR. And he arrests had her arrested on charges of grand theft involving more than 81,000 doll 10 news in Tampa Bay said the case has left the Realtor association on the ropes and all but broke. Judd said, forcing the organization to consider merging with another association just to survive. And she needs to sit in jail. Sheriff Judd declared. And he said she's a thief, she's a con and she's a.
Guest/Promo Host
Crook.
Woody Overton
Wow. Think about it. She's probably, I don't know how much, you know, a CEO of a realtor association, but they all pay fees like our son does.
Cindy Overton
And.
Woody Overton
Yeah. And all that. But 81,000, if you, you know, you pack that over time, it's just. Yeah, it's like giving yourself a raise. Yeah.
Cindy Overton
81,000. It's a heck of a lot in fees too. Like LA's Pro. I mean it's almost $2,000 a year in fees that and you know, it's a lot. It's a.
Woody Overton
Lot. We front. We fronted him the money to get all that and he was like 18 years old, one of the youngest in the state of Louisiana. But you got. They got to pay it every year. Just like I have to pay polygraph fees every year. And the. It's just the way that it works, the way the ball bounces. But somebody ultimately has their hands on that.
Cindy Overton
Money. Yeah. And apparently she.
Woody Overton
Did. You need a system of checks.
Cindy Overton
And balance and she was probably just grazing a little bit off the.

Hashtag just AO. Hashtag just Ms. Barbara Blind. And again, they shafted us in Georgia. Cobb County, D. A. And we're still working on that with Ms. Barbara.
