Joe, I want to thank you personally for doing this legal research and clarifying the vandalism incident and the law enforcement efforts. You did exactly what the rest of us needed to have done, and you have shared the information in a well informed, welll reasoned manner. The information you have rounded up is just what was needed.... I'll appreciate further updates from the list as the case moves through the legal system. You raised a very pertinent question also, regarding the actual ownership of the church. I'm hoping someone on the list comes through with answers... or is willing to research deeds at the courthouse. Thank you very much for this information.

Anne, Unless there are complaints and possibly some proof of damage more than $500 this will most likely be disposed of with a guilty plea in General Sessions Court. The usual sentence for this type of offense would be a suspended sentence with possibly some community service and restitution, fine and court costs and a period of unsupervised probation. Restitution would amount to $100 each. There is less than a week for any actions to be taken one way or the other. I believe the actual ownership of the church reverts to the Methodist Synod when the congregation disbands. I know that is the way it is with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church is to the Presbytery. All Baptist churches are independent and the remaining members would own those properties. Most do belong to the Southern Baptist Convention but they are still independent.

Today I went to the Circuit Court Clerk’s office in Dresden and obtained copies of the records pertaining to this event. There were 5 citations issued by a Weakley County Sheriff’s deputy with $500 shown as amount of damages. Because of the low amount of damages this is the reason they were not arrested. Since there was no arrest that is the reason it was not shown in the papers in the Arrest Reports. The date for disposition of this case is set for August 22, 2007 which is next Wednesday. This will be in General Sessions Court and they will have the option of pleading guilty or having a preliminary hearing. All have admitted to participating in the vandalism which also includes damaging mailboxes on the Stella Ruth Rd. After that hearing is when the newspapers will have the option of printing the results in their General Sessions Court Report. According to the clerks office there are no witnesses shown on the records and if there is more than $500 damage complaints need to be made. One question that comes to mind is who actually owns the Church Building since services are no longer held there. We may have jumped the gun on presuming a cover up from either the newspapers or by anyone else. I do wonder why the damages were set at only $500 when one window would probably cost that much to replace. I do have the names and addresses of the participants but do not feel it is my place to send this to a public forum such as this since there were no actual arrests. I’m not a lawyer but did play one in the late 1980’s until Dec. 1, 1991 when I had a running battle with the City of Martin and some people subscribed to the Weakley County papers in order to see what they would charge me with next. But that’s another story. Damages $500 and under is considered a Class A Misdemeanor. When it is over $500 then you get into felony charges. By the way, damages to mailboxes is a Federal Offence. Vandalism A person commits vandalism when they knowingly causes damage to or the destruction of any real or personal property of another or of the state, the United States, any county, city, or town knowing they do not have the owner’s effective consent. The punishment for Vandalism is based on the dollar amount of damage done. The penalties are a Class A misdemeanor if the value of the property is five hundred dollars ($500) or less; a Class E felony if the value of the property is more than five hundred dollars ($500) but less than one thousand dollars ($1,000); a Class D felony if the value of the property is one thousand dollars ($1,000) or more but less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000); a Class C felony if the value of the property is ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or more but less than sixty thousand dollars ($60,000); and a Class B felony if the value of the property or services obtained is sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) or more. Since I live in SOUTH Weakley Co. I have never been to the community where the church is located. If there are any on the list that have a direct connection to the church it would be their place to go further with this. Joe Stout No virus found in this outgoing message.

Brenda, Thank you for your input - I made a note under the bio with your words. Plus put HILL in brackets after HALL - which is what I usually do if their is a difference by family from the original work....be it this or census or whatever. Thanks, MaryCarol http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Etnweakle/Goodspeed_Weakley_Bios_S.html Brenda wrote: the bio states "His mother's maiden name was FULLER, and she was a descendant of the HALL family of North Carolina, one of whom was Secretary of State of North Carolina for a number of years." First, let me say that the actual Goodspeed book DOES list the name as HALL, but the correct family name was HILL, not HALL >

The persons who expressed concern are not subscribers to the list. They will be waiting until tomorrow when the Weakley Co. Press comes out to see if the arrest report is published. If it is not a check with the public records can be made to see if an arraignment has actually occurred and if there is a court date set. Keep in mind that all persons are considered innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. This does not mean that arrest warrants, arraignments and other court proceedings are not open to the public and those proceedings may be spread about in any manner. The big question here is there a cover up and if so who and what is involved. I noticed that the last issue of the Dresden Enterprise was Aug. 8. As reported the Court arraignment was Aug. 6. This may have been too late for that edition to appear. None of the online versions of the papers include any of this information.

Hello! FYI---"Larapin" has always been southern country slang for "Lappin' (g) good" much like the term "lap it up!" (referring to something tasting so good, that a person would "lap it up" much like a dog or other 4 legged creature would eat something down quickly and "lap" or smack it's chops, (or jaws). I am almost 62 years old, and I remember my grandmother, Gorder Gatewood, using this term when she was telling how good a recipe turned out from the oven, and I was under 5 years old when I first heard the term. I thought Inquiring Minds would like to know. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
