Stolen Horse--Man is BACK in jail!

[rodriguezpoultry]

Of course not...

He called and then did not leave a voicemail. I'm more worried of him trying to worm his way out again or trying to goad me into doing something rash. I may call back with someone else nearby so as to take accurate notes. My bf IS in the room...

Better he call than leave a message on your voice mail than to speak to you directly - this way, you have it recorded.
What was the reason for calling NOW? Maybe he is starting to feel the squeeze?

With the number of protective orders against the guy, I'd be very leary of talking to him myself. Let him leave a message, then you have it on tape. Interesting to note that he CAN contact you, contrary to everything he has said.

My thinking exactly. If you have been so hard to get hold of how did he get hold of you! Keep that number on the recently received list!!!! With the date for proof he could get hold of you!​

If she didn't speak to him though, he couldn't actually get hold of her

I don't see the harm in speaking with him, just don't do anything to play into his hands. You might get the horse back easier and the criminal case will still be pursued.

Make sure you have someone there and/or tell him you are recording the conversation as soon as he picks up and before you make any other comment. That way you have proof of what was said and he can't try to say something different was said before the recording started. If you are worried about keeping your cool then having someone else there to check is good.

OK, finally got ahold of the DA's office:

1. He does not personally know the uncle, but overheard conversations between the sheriff and the deputy that the horse was at the uncle's "son's" place. Remember the Tulsa World article?? (Bam. It's his son.)

2. I will need to be at the preliminary hearing for the man who originally sold my horse. His hearing is set for Dec. 2, 2009 at 1:30 PM. Needless to say, I work that day but will have to talk to management.

3. The DA did not get a chance to file the ownership hearing last week, but is filing today and should be able to get a court order today telling the uncle to not do anything with Max except take care of him.

4. I cannot file charges against the uncle because he received embezzled property...not stolen. It was embezzled property because Max was at the man's property according to the lease agreement.

5. I can file charges against the man who sold my horse because he is calling me and should not be trying to contact me at all, especially since his original phone call was threatening and borderline extortion. So, I'll be going to Tahlequah to do that today. Also going to try and get a protective order against him as well.

Whatever you do, don't miss any hearings! A friend of mine went to court over a stolen horse, missed one hearing(she just couldn't get off work) and they awarded the horse to other party.

That was my fear. It was why I was going to the DA's office to see WHEN the hearing was. Makes me angry they haven't sent me a notice yet...but now I have it...

The management is fairly good, especially since they know my situation right now. If not, I'm hoping someone will be able to switch with me. Heck...I'd even work a Sunday for it!

The DA apologized profusely for not calling me back. Apparently he worked until 8 PM all last week while he was doing the jury trial. After the jury trial he had to go to a different part of the state because some other DAs were not able to do cases down there.
