More Attention To MO-Bail

Well I am a little late in returning and I do apologize for that. But here is the follow up on the previous post I made. Here you are going to read about a cast of characters that will rival the Keystone Cops in incompetence.


First let's recap, real quick. I called attention to the denial of Paul Berry's license over a failure to update his address information, which the statute sets a prescribed punishment at a $10.00 fine per month for each month that his address is not updated. I also called attention to the hint that was found in Paul's A.H.C. Ruling that this punishment might be just a little "draconian".


I also left you with proof of another person being granted a license by the Missouri department of Insurance, by displaying the picture below on my previous post:




I then asked you to conduct a CaseNet search for Marilyn Tufts-Nole's criminal history. Here it is below:




I then asked you to look up Paul Berry's criminal history and compare it to Marilyn Tufts-Nole's. Below is Paul Berry's criminal history:




Now if you will look closer, and research the case entries on Marilyn Tufts-Nole's criminal history you will see 3 Peace Disturbances First Offense convictions (all 3 separate case numbers and separate cases, now how are all 3 separate cases First Offenses?) and one Domestic Violence conviction, and 2 pending felonies, 1 for Manufacturing and Distribution of Controlled Substances, and 1 for Possession of a Controlled Substance. Upon further research of these cases you will find this entry in CaseNet on Marilyn Tufts-Nole's Possession Charge, Case Number:11BA-CR02278 on 07/05/2011: 



Warrant Issd Failure to Appear
Document ID: 11-BAFTA-1204, for TUFTS, MARILYN LYDIA. ,
Bond Amount: 4,750.00, Bond Text:
STATE BY JOHNSON. DEFT APPEARS NOT.
CAPIAS ISSUED AND BOND SET $4,750.00.
BOND FORFEITURE ORDERED WITH HEARING ON FINAL JUDGMENT SET FOR 08-12-11 AT 1:30 P.M. IN DIV 5. LB/DIV 5 (CMM)


Okay now compare Paul Berry's criminal record here. Paul has NO convictions and 2 Pending Misdemeanor Traffic Violations, 1 for Driving on a Revoked License, and 1 For Driving an Uninsured Vehicle belonging to Another Person. No Failures To Appear, and no criminal history prior to these two pending charges.


Does it seem fair to you that Marilyn Tufts-Nole should be granted a Bail Bonding Agent's License and Paul Berry should not, so far? Does something seem just a little "off kilter" to you here, thus far? I mean, you do understand that Marilyn Tufts-Nole is legally allowed to apprehend people miss their court dates on the bonds she writes, and she can't even show up to her own court dates, right?


Now let me give you some more of the "back story". First of all, Marilyn Tufts-Nole started out writing bail for Josh Dennison, who for some reason terminated her employment. now Josh seems scared to death to make any statements about Marilyn at all; one can only wonder? I wonder what Marilyn has on Josh? Josh is married, perhaps Josh is afraid that Marilyn might claim that something inappropriate happened between them? It does not make that much difference, because Josh has his own set of troubles and they derive from the fact that he just is not the "brightest bulb in the closet", but that is not his fault. You can get a glimpse of Josh's current problems below:






While Marilyn Tufts-Nole was writing bail for Josh Dennison, Tina Bozarth was complaining that Marilyn Tufts-Nole should not be licensed because of her history and because Marilyn Tufts-Nole is not of good moral character, and Tina was very upset that Josh hired Marilyn Tufts-Nole. And guess who Marilyn Tufts-Nole is writing for now? That is right, Tina Bozarth. But Tina is a "Dipstick", so I guess some of you can give her a pass on not being able to make her mind up about whether or not Marilyn Tufts-Nole should be allowed to have a bonding license. I means ignorance and stupidity should not be held against a person too much, right? 


Now at this time, surely some of you have to be wondering just who would license this all star cast of incompetent dilettantes, right? Enter Les Hogue!


Les Hogue is an Investigator with the Missouri Department of Insurance, and he has some influence over who is licensed and who is not licensed as a Bail Agent in Missouri. Les Hogue is at least partially responsible for the denial of Paul Berry's license. And Les Hogue is at least partially responsible for the granting of Marilyn Tufts-Nole's license. Below are some links to articles that mention Les Hogue's name that you can read a little about him in:


No crimes found in St. Louis bonds probe


No crimes found in city bonds probe But state auditor's report due today contains some harsh criticism


Now I can tell you that I have had a few dealing with Les Hogue myself, and in my personal opinion this is not an honorable man.he is a "low down, dirty, snake in the grass" and most General Agents and Bail Bonding Agents in Missouri will agree wit me on that. We will explore a lot more about Les Hogue in the next few days. I have a lot of material that I need to fact check before I can give you a full picture of just what kind of person the Missouri Department of Insurance has employed to grant and deny bail bonding licenses. 


For now, I want you to understand what the Missouri Department of Insurance has done. The Missouri Department of Insurance has granted a license to a person that has a criminal record that would prohibit her from owning a firearm, but yet the Missouri Department of insurance has given her the authority to get people out of jail, legally apprehend and arrest people that don't go to court, and to stand up in court and ask for continuances on bonds where people have failed to appear; and this lady can't even appear for her own court dates.. And the Missouri Department of Insurance has denied a license and also a livelihood to a man with no criminal record, 2  pending, simple misdemeanor charges, and no failures to appear on these charges, who is an experienced Bail Bonds Agent with no substantiated complaints against him. The citizens of Missouri should be outraged over this type of government incompetence. try to understand that this lady Marilyn Tufts-Nole could show up at your house looking for one of the people that did not go to court for her, demanding to search your house, accusing you of harboring a fugitive. Are you really sure that you want her licensed to do something like that, given her history?

Yup the state departments/divisions that control bail licensing are inconsistent at best. That is really strange though on Paul Berry's situation....Haven't heard something quite that ridiculous yet. Then again I've only been at it since '08, so I'm sure I'll be seeing some more stuff like that.
