Back At It: Update on Walker Suit

I'm ready to start some limited blogging again, although I won't be able to attend the council meetings for the time being. I will continue to post the council informational packets and agendas, which include the meeting minutes. It's a bit delayed, but those who are interested can keep up with council activities.

In other news, you will recall that Ruston Civil Service Commissioner Bill Walker has sued Shirley Jones because she reported to law enforcement and requested a sexual assault protection order alleging that he sexually assaulted her. No criminal charges were ever filed and her request for a permanent protective order in her case was denied. He is now suing Ms. Jones for slander and libel, with help from his attorney's Peter Kram and Dan Albertson.

Last Friday I was named as an additional defendant in this slander/libel lawsuit, along with fellow Civil Service Commissioner Connie Magloine. Ms. Magloine was in Arizona starting cancer treatment for the second time on Friday when Judge Fleming issued his ruling to add Ms. Magloine and myself to this lawsuit.

Because of the sensitivity of this issue, no comments will be allowed.
