The DA is officially writing up a court order for the man to not move the horse or dispose of it in any way. The sheriff called back and said that "he didn't have the manpower to go check on a horse." BUT, he did tell me that the reason I cannot find the "ownership hearing" on the civil judge's rosters is because it has to be dealt with through the DA. So...it all winds up back to the DA, who has not called me since Thursday and is not in the building until after tomorrow.
I contacted both mine and his district's representatives. Neither can help, but both are writing to the AG to see if something can be done to hurry the process along. I am going to be contacting Senators and Governor's offices today and taking down more and more notes as to what I can do.
I think it's important to note that it's not the sheriff directly that I suspect. I suspect one of the deputies.
You may not suspect the sheriff, but when/if this ever comes out in the media, he's the one that has to deal with it. He is personally responsible for the actions of every deputy that reports to him. Especially if the deputy is at best being derilect (sp?) in his duties or at worst, collaborating with the criminals who have done this to you!
