One month ago my husband and I decided on a 5-day excursion to Townsend, TN. We rented a cabin from Bearly Rustic cabin rentals. The cabin was on Tuckaleechee Rd. across the street from the Camping Ground Church. Being in TN this time of the year is great. No crowds or crazy traffic was about the only part of our trip that was enjoyable.

I had grown very familiar with the area in 1982 when I was a liason for the China Pavilion. I spent roughly 2 years in Knoxville. Later, I had an opportunity to gain employment with a company in Maryville, TN and lived there for 4 years before my company was closed.

I now reside in Palm Beach, FL.
Now, back to my story.

Whilst staying in our rental cabin each night a large white dog with brown spots would run around our cabin barking in a manner that sounded like it was hurt. We later found out from the man next door that the dog was a hunting dog. A coon hunting dog to be exact. He said that they sound like that when they smell the trail of another animal.

At first, we thought that it might his dog but found out from him that a local city ordinance requires owners to put there dogs inside at night or at least tie them up where they couldn't wander. We quickly found out this was the first law that the Townsend City Police Department doesn't do anything about.

At 11:00PM each night, citizens are required by law in the city of Townsend to adhere to a "quiet time" that runs until 7AM. This ordinance, we were told, includes dogs. Also, nuisance dogs are addressed within the ordinances like the dogs that kept waking us up all night long.

The second night, the same dog came back, only this time he had two more dogs with him. My husband went outside to run the dogs off butone of them, another large white brown spotted dog, turned on him and tried to take chunk out his leg. Thankfully my husband was close enought to a piece of firewood to fend the dog off.

The third night, we counted 6 large hunting dogs which circled the cabin and barked for nearly 2 hours staight. Just when we thought that they were gone, they came back for another 45 minute round of loud painful barking.

The fourth and final night, we had enough of the very poor City of Townsend law enforcement. When the dog came back on the fourth night, he was by himself and my husband hit him right square across the head with a broom handle. He eally let out yelp then.

What should have been a trip to the peaceful side of the smokiesfor some R&R turned out to be nothing but an unenjoyable waste time in a town that won't do anything about an obvious dog pack problem.

Doesn't Townsend rely on the tourist's money to fund their police force? One would think that they would want tourists like my husband and I to have a peaceful enjoyable time while visiting their city. This just isn't the case. We had a horrible time.

What about the people in Townsend that are residents. Do they have to deal with this refusal of the local police to do their job also? What a shame.

The man that we spoke to told us that the chief of police was a real piece of work. He also said that the mayor was just as bad. We got to see some of the mayor's businesses while w were in town. He's got an out-house business at one entrance to townsend and at the other end he's got a tubing business with abig ugly sign placed in the middle of the river. How did he get away with that? You would think that a mayor would want to take a little pride in his community insted of making Townsend a dumping ground.

My husband and I were just really disappointed in our stayin Townsend. All of it was due to the fact that the local authorities in Townsend don't want to do their jobs. The man next door said they were lazy and I believe it.

My advice to anyone who reads this post is to not vacation to Townsend or rent a cabin there. There are other places that are much more reasonable to stay anyways in the Smokey Mountains. If you do go to Townsend, and you do decide to rent a cabin, make sure that you take a big gun to protect yourself from the roaming bands of coon hunting dogs that terrorize locals and tourists alike in the night hours.

Be ready for many nights without sleep if you rent a cabin in Townsend,TN.

PS We found out who most of the dogs belong to: Billy Ray Myers. The local people say that he is a real idiot and big talker. We also found out from sources unknown that Mr. Myers is a convicted felon. We heard gunshots come from the mobile home where we were told that he lived while we were staying in Townsend. Iguess this would be one more downfall of the Townsend City Police Department because convicted felons are not supposed to be in possession firearms.

Don't go to Townsend for your vacation, there's nobody there who'll serve and protect you. I'll never go back to Townsend. That was the worst vacation that I have ever had and it was all due to a bunch of dogs that shouldn't have been roaming in the first place.

I hope this post helps people to steer away from Townsend. You won't be sorry if you stay somewhere else.

POSTED: Sunday, January 24, 2010

Melanie, you missed the entire point of the thread from start to finish.  Local people are being affected by the nuisance dogs also, just just "cabin renters".

Obviously you are waaaaaay out of touch if you think that Townsend is "in the woods".  The whole motto of the town is "The peaceful side of the Smokies" in case you didn't know; not "Home of the never-ending barking..."

Hearing a dog bark every once in awhile is really no big deal to me or anyone else but to hear a bunch of baying coon hounds carry on all night long is a different story.  Some of us work for aliving unlike the person who owned the dogs and trying to sleep with that kind of nuisance going on is ridiculous.  If you could see the condition in which these animals are forced to live, I am quite sure that you would change your tune.

Until you personally have this problem going on under your bedroom window, you can't fathom what it is like to have to wrok after being repeatedly kept awake by "nuisance animals" that we have local legislation against.

Mel, you are mistaken so why don't you get a life and stop trolling around the internet.

"Civil Legal Action"

AUTHOR: Aaron - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, July 11, 2008

Looks like Billy Ray Myers (AKA Billy Lynn) is going to be charged criminally with the felony of "Interferring With A Real Estate Transaction" along with "Terroristic Threats"(On Tape) and charged with owning "Nuisance Animals that have been found to be in violation of state law.............and that will be a $500 fine for each animal that he owns and "harbors". I have nearly 300hrs of nuisance barking on tape at this point.

Well, that's what you wanted you piece of trash. With what went down concerning the coward Bill Allen, I'm going to be a rich man and we probably won't need to sell the house now and you'll just be another piece of slime who didn't have enough sense to do the right thing. Hope you enjoy the fact that I will be on your arse from here until time ends. Better keep that trailor up to code becuase you can't move aother one in there if they condemn the pile of rubble that you currently crawl under every night.

Here's the funniest part; BIG BILLY BADA$$ Myers even went so far as to file a false report with the police. Guess who? That's right, his buddy Bill Allen. When Bill Allen called to come up, I had only been home a little over an hour. I have a deposition from the actual person who fired the shot along with the shot that you and dumba$$ Bill Allen said came from my direction. You people are just plain embociles aren't you? Lying only leads to more lying and you two stooges are the poster children for what happens when you lie and continually do things ina dishonest manner.

Did you really think that you would come out on top of this, Skunk Ape? You should know by now that you're just not smart enought to pull anything like that off. I still just can't get over the fact that you are that ignorant.

Oh, and by the way, there's no record of you having gone to college or recieved a degree anywhere in NC. Please keep perpetuating that lie, 'cause everybody around you just has a big laugh at this point about all your big tales the higher learning that you had to endure as a sasquatch.

Did you ever tell the kids on Boat Gunnel about how you and lester shot their pig and then tried to serve it up at Thanksgiving? Or was it Christmas? I just can't remember the last time I smelled a skunk ape..........or a goat.

There was a time when you were actually halfway decent to be around, but as time went on I outgrew your bull$hit and big tales. Do you really think people believe all that big talk?

Better get you a good lawyer skunkape, 'cause mine is coming for you loaded for bear and an axe to grind against skunk ape trash like yourself.

Get a life and take a bath you stinkin' goat humpin' fool. Maybe you can borrow some money from your mother, you silly squatter.

See you in court, skunk ape myers....................................................

Just remember that every little peep that you and your dogs make, I get on tape, dumba$$.

Nuisance Animals Stll Being a Nuisance

AUTHOR: Aaron - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, June 15, 2008

Just wanted to drop everybody aline and let them know that the dog situation is a little better but still has an extremely long way to go.

The dogs are no longer being allowed to "run at large" at night anymore. The barking still continues 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I have had at least a dozen interactions with law enforcment concerning this situation. each time they asked "What should we do?" and each time I showed them the TCA that applies to this situation along with the local ordinances in the city of Townsend.

Each time, I am assured and still yet I find myself at Wally World buying four MORE boxes of twelve gauge shells to shut the mutts up at night.

The last conversation I had with law enforcment was with one of the few officers in Townsend that I respect and will listen to. Do you believe he said that the people with the nuisance dogs won't do anything until you walk over in the mddle of the night, knock on their door and tell them to knock it off. LOL

I got news for ya, after being woken up in the middle of the night by nuisance animals that are against the law, YOU REALLY DON'T WANT ME TO BE THE ONE TO GO TO THEIR HOUSE. DIPLOMACY IS COMPLETELY OUT THE WINDOW IN THIS SITUATION DUE TO THE DURATION OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT'S SPANKY SUTTLES FAULT. TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU THAT I CAN WAKE THEM UP WITHOUT GOING OVER THERE.

Now, if the City of Townsend wants me take care of this problem then they simply need to swear me, give me the legal power to seize and I'll round up every twinkle toed deralictic piece of trash within a mile of here. I don't have the jurisdiction or the legal power..................I've just got the firepower and I'm at wits end with this BS concerning the criminal owners of these mutts.

Well, there ya go folks..............just more half a*s government workers in Blount County Tennessee.

This is just an update to the last rebuttal that I filed more than anything.

It is video which I shot around 7:40AM the next morning after the dogs started barking around 4:30 AM.

Again, I don't mind hearing a dog bark but I'll be damned if I'm going to listen to it for over 3 hours without making a little noise of my own so get used to it Patricia and Lester. It wasn't too long ago that you folks were sking me to go to the city about the dogs. Idiots...........

I'll be sure and keep the camera handy. I plan on riding around Townsend and letting you see what the mayor and other businessmen are into and the ordinances that they have broken.

POSTED: Friday, April 11, 2008

That's ten minutes past a solid 3 hours of barking. I finally had enough and yelled real loud at them. they immediately shut-up proving the fact that they will be quiet if someone tells them to.

I got a little more footage around 7:30 AM just to prove the point that the dogs are a nuisance and that Townsend Police Chief Ron Spanky Suttles is absolutely worthless.

Two years? Lied about state law? Lied about talking tot he forestry people? Lied about ordinances inside the city? And lied when he swore to uphold the law inside the city of Townsend Tennessee.

It isn't going to get any easier Spanky. Now that I've obtained the technology, I'll be posting about your sorry A$$ with included video and audio.

Whay don't you just do your job? How hard is that? Obviously pretty tough for a man with such upstanding "Howard Jones" credentials as yourself. Just more Maryville trash..........

2:36:08 additional audio of nuisance mutts.

AUTHOR: Aaron - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, April 09, 2008

That's right, I was just getting ready to leave for work and removed the disc from the recorder.

Seems I got an additional 2:36:08 hours of Bill's dogs barking. Some of the audio is complete with what sounds like someone being beat to death judging from the tone of the screams. Nice to have the technology to prove the point.

Keep in mind that in the city of Townsend and the jursidiction of Blount County, 1:15 hours of continuous barking is all it takes to qualify as a nuisance and become the resposibility of local law enforcement.

Also keep in mind that 1:15 hours is also all it takes for the $250 fine..........that's for each dog..............and each 1:15 hours interval of the animal being in violation.

I keep hearing that the Skunk-Ape says he's going to sue................well then get to it tough guy..............first you got to prove your point that you're losing work because my blogging has caused the decline of the building industry in Townsend and Blount County. Good luck on that one, dumba$$. As much as I'd love to take credit for the demise of the development industry in this area, you're going to have a hard time proving that one, Skunk-Ape.

Then you've got to prove that what people have said about you in the thread is untrue. Then you're going to have to deal with the countersuit that includes your nuisance mutts. One big difference is that I have documented proof and am gaining more proof eveytime your dogs or kids open their mouths. You have NOTHING.

Remember the whole "your kids inside my garage, deep-freeze" incident? Yeah, we'll have to include that in the countersuit also.

Remember the whole rat infestation that you brought on everybody with your chickens? Yeah, that's something else that will be included.

Then we've got the whole deal that happened out at Richard's house. That incident will not be dealt with civilly but rather in criminal court along with various threats and the fact that you are a felon in possession of firearms. Trust me when I say that video tape of a convicted felon fring off a pistol doesn't bode well for someone who likes to call the police and lodge false accusations at people.

A little piece of advise: be careful who you talk to when you decide to threaten someone. I have ears and those ears have microphones. You see I know that you're full of it just like the rest of the Stratton clan knows you're full of it. I know that you're all bark and no bite.............no fire, just smoke. But I bet I can convince a judge otherwise based on the recorded audio of some of your most recent conversations with people that we both know.

There for awhile, I didn't think that Bill M. was the one who posted the last thread. But now, I am slowly coming to the conlusion that he probably is that stupid.

So come on.................let's go.................put your money where your ignorant mouth is and sue me you putz. You're too stupid to even see what is going on. I'll finish you financially and you'll only have yourself to blame for thinking that a lawyer is going to help you in any way to continue to be the trashy fool that you are. This isn't a car-wreck, sasquatch.

I'm sure there is a lawyer out there who will take your case. No doubt about that. Afterall, minnie found a lawyer didn't she? Minnie's lawyer made money but she didn't..........remember?

In the long run, I'll be sitting watching the beautiful sunset in Colorado and you'll be flat-a$$ broke living in the squalor that you always have lived in, stuck right here in the cess pool that is known as Townsend Tennessee and working for the biggest bunch of scum-bag criminals to ever set up shop in Blount County. Way to ASPIRE, Bill.

2hrs and 48 mins of Billy Ray Myers dogs barking

AUTHOR: Aaron - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, April 01, 2008

I just recorded 2hrs and 48 mins of Billy Ray Myers dogs barking. After what happened last night, I ran an omnidirectional outdoor mike from the fence to the board nearby.

I was just getting ready to leave for work when I decided to check the disc. The module is sound activated and kicks on when the dogs start barking. I nearly filled the disc the very night after Bill Allen came out here and made such a fool of himself.

I guess I should go ahead and let the cat out of the bag. I videotaped Bill Allen driving out to Billy Myers yesterday. The whole time that Bill Allen's car is out there, the dogs are raising hell. I really didn't notice the shot when I was filming but you can clearly hear a shotgun blast over in the Dunn Field which is about 400 yds from Bill's trailor. I just didn't notice it over the baying mutts.

This is the blast that Bill Allen said that I shot at him. Boy, isn't a video camera a handy dandy device for showing the cowardice and dishonesty of local law enforcement. If it'll upload soon, I'll come back with a link.

Please compare this video with what the officers say.........or.............actully lie about. These guys really are pathetic little losers and d**n stupid.

Here's a link to what went on afterwards. I got some great footage of Townsend's finest acting like a coward. He had to have Ron Dunn and two other officers in order to feel safe about harassing me.

He actually told them that I had shot at him and then spunoff into some crazy babble about what I have posted online.

Thanks Bill Allen, now I've got just what I have been wanting all along: EVIDENCE TO FILE SUIT AGAINST THE CORRUPT CITY OF TOWNSEND. Idiot!

Check it out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAPr7loRe1c

I tell you one thing: I haven't heard a peep out of those d**n mutts all night!LOL

I guess that the Townsend Police and the Blount County Sheriffs Office wants to keep their RESIDENT FELONS safe from people like me. Still don't really know what I did but I managed to get some good video on one of the biggest pieces of crap in uniform.

Does a badge make you an instant coward like Bill Allen? He's real tough guy when he's got someone to keep him safe. Pay close attention as to how he lays the challenge out there and then turns and walks off when I told him that "HERE I AM".

He's a coward just like his boss, Ron Spanky Suttles. Just think Bill, you can get you a fake degree and probably move up the ladder at the BCSO now that you've proven your cowardice and loyalty to the Lambert Hoard. Peggy Lambert might ought to call Bill Allen and get him into the political arena. He's your man, Peggy!

7:20 PM - I just saw a police car out at Bill's trailor. The whole time that the police officer was out there, the dogs were barking and carrying on.

Now the police have absolutely no excuse for not knowing about the problem.

Either Bill called the police on me because of the loud mexican music or somebody else has grown tired of the dogs too.

They haven't come out here to say anything to me. If they do I'll tell them about the threats that he made yesterday and how he acted out in Dry Valley.

I couldn't tell if it was a Townsend deralict or a County Do-Nothing.

I don't hear the dogs right now although this is the first time today that I have turned off the Mexican Tunes.

Maybe something is finally being done but I doubt it. I'd say Bill called the police on me which we already know just how much that will accomplish.LOL

If I were in Bill's shoes, I would probably be calling the police too after the BS he pulled yeaterday. What an idiot!

All you need to do to get rid of Bill is to just call the parole board in NC. They will be interested to know what Billy Ray Myers has been up to lately.
I heard about the deal out in the valley. He is a coward to wait until he knew that he would be safe out there to say something.
All that needs to happen is for the law to show up and find the firearms in his trailer. Then he's back to the prison for a long time.
To live right next door and pull that is very cowardly on his part.

I am going to forward a link of this website to the NC authorities since he can only communicate to you by his girls and in person when he thinks he's safe.

New Information on Chief Ron Spanky Suttles and Mayor Shannan Skidmore.

AUTHOR: Flora uk - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, March 21, 2008

Seems Sapnky is no stranger to the ripoffreport.com.

He has already had a blog filed on him titled CHIEF RON. I didn't know that until yesterday. What kind of law enforcement do you folks have in Blount County, anyways? Sounds like your sheriff is a crook, too.

Who in their right mind would want to live there???!!!!????!!!!

Also, if you go to YOUTUBE and do a search for REDNECK COP then you will get to see one of Chief Spanky's finest completely violating the rights of some young men who were swimming and drinking beer by the river.

Yes, Old Spanky sure has taught them well. Seems he has quite of a TRACK RECORD when it comes to "misrepresenting" the law. The dog situation on Tuckaleechee Rd is no different.
I can't believe that anyone would be happy if they moved to Townsend to retire. I know that my husband and I were ready to sue the city and we were just there for 4 nights.

I have a friend who lives in Laurel Valley. you should hear what these residents have to say about the mayor of Townsend. He might even be a bigger criminal than Chief Spanky.
We looked at some condos nearby that were being built. There is completely no way that I would ever spend $300-$400 thousand on a condo in a town where dogs are allowed by Chief Spanky to run amuck all over town at night.

My husband was so mad by the time that we got home that he decided to contact his corporate attorney. I would not be surprised if he doesn't decide to sue Spanky over the dog incidents at our rental cabins.
We would not have a case if it were not for the fact that Chief Spanky had already been asked on several occasions to do his job cONCERNING tHE eXACT sAME dOGS aND tHE eXACT sAME oWNER.

While I will not argue any of the points made above...........................

AUTHOR: Aaron - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, March 21, 2008

While I will not argue any of the points made above...........................I think that going after ANY man's livlihood is a little low.

Bill does good sheetrock work and IS a good finisher. I used to work with him and know his workmanship to be "top of the line". Drywall might me the one thing at he does actually know something about.

This thread, and I'm reading the original post right now, is over his refusal to do something about his dogs which ARE, at the very least, a nuisance.......................
a nuisance to his family who has always been nothing but good to him.

We are ALL tired of the dogs at night. I'm even sick of hearing them during the day, too. You can't go outside without hearing those d**n mutts start in baying and barking. Must be wishful thingking because they haven't been hunted in years.

Bill called out here yesterday at 9:30 AM. I returned the call around noon and again around 6:00. He wouldn't answer the phone.

Yesterday evening, I was down at my shop and heard him and his wife running their mouthes about something. I couldn't tell what they were saying but I think the 12 gauge scares their girls and makes them turn down their loud music.

I've been dosing them with a steady stream of the "Mexican Station" when it gets too loud. Ther incessant screaming is thing that gets me. They don't just scream, they sound like someone is beating them to death. It's ridiculous to allow children to act in this manner.

I just remembered something...........................not too long, on of Bill's children came out to the edge of the property to tell my mother that one of our dogs had gotten into their garbage.

Wrong. First of all, you don't send a child to say something that you don't have the backbone to say yourself. Secondly, the dog that they blamed it on is never outside without us. She's old and I doubt very much that she couldn't even make it that far out to his "illegal" trash area on his Aunt' property. maybe nothing would have gotten into his garbage if he had paid his bill on time and garbage wasn't piled 6 foot high. It was probably one of his dogs that did it to be honest with you.

The dog situation WILL BE REMEDIED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. SPANKY AND THE SHERIFF'S LAZY ARSE BE DAMNED, WE ARE NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO THAT CRAP ALL THE TIME, 24 HRS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK. WE HAVE THE LAW ON OUR SIDE............IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER ABOUT OUR WORTHLESS SHERIFF OR THE CHICKEN-$HIT CHIEF OF POLICE IN TOWNSEND.

IF THEY WANT TO WAKE US UP WITH THOSE MUTTS ALL NIGHT LONG, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER FIRING OFF THE 12 GAUGE ALL THE TIME..............24HRS A DAY.............................7 DAYS A WEEK. Some loud "Mexican" music is on the menu too.

In closing, I would like to tell you guys, whoever you may be, to stick to the subject of this thread which is "Bill's Dogs Running Loose". It hurts the credibility of the thread when you get off on wild tangents.

If you've got a personal beef with Bill then that's fine. I'm not telling you not to do anything about it. Just don't let your emotions get the best of you on this thread. Although the above rebuttals are very entertaining and I won't argue about any of the points made by you guys because they are mostly true, I would appreciate it if you would stick to the subject that Flora UK opened the door upon.

Thanks.

the real disgrace of the Stratton family is billy ray myers

AUTHOR: Joe - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, March 21, 2008

1) i read on another ripoff report that someone within the Stratton clan was accused of being a disgrace. while i am sure that there is a a disgrace, it is not the person that was accused of being a disgarces. the real disgrace of the Stratton family is billy ray myers. he is a dip****. they call him the skunk ape for a reason. he will go days hanging drywall without taking a shower. he smells like a goat.

2) the other disgrace that i am talking about is spanky suttles for making a career out of not doing his job. he is the reason for all this uproar on Stratton Hill. if he had got off his but and done his job none of this would even be an issue but instead he just sat back until a tourist floridian complained and then he could not jump high enough.

3) billy ray myers and spanky suttles are worthless as t***s on boar hog and i am sure that is not anything that is going to change.

4) i cannot wait until one of these wild, out of control dogs bites some idiot from FL thenthere will be hell to pay.

5) something needs to be done about the roveing packs of dogs in the townsend area. the sheriff needs to get off his but too. we all pay taxes just like anybody else. we expect the taxes to get soemthing done.

Is that Wild Bill that your talking aboot?

AUTHOR: Dry Valley Romeo - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, March 20, 2008

Isn't he the one they call Wild Bill?

Isn't he the one who wears two pairs of thick wool hunting socks with his work boots in 100 degree weather?

Isn't he the one who always wears his shorts on the outside of his sweat pants?
And a weightlifting belt?

Isn't he the one whose family came to his aid when one of the aunts tried to move his trailor over and change the road?

Isn't it true that Billy Ray Myers wouldn't have a pot to piss in if it weren't for the fact that his mother lets him squat on her land?

Sounds like he wants you to help him out but he doesn't give a flip about anybody else up there on the hill.

I grew up in Townsend. I knew Bill's daddy = Billy Ray Sutton.

Bill, Jr., has always acted like this. He's overbearing and pretty much full of chit.

Anything you know, he knows more. That's A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G!

I've never seen Bill when he was not running his jaw.

If you aren't going to hunt those dogs, then why have them? You can't legally turn them things out on people in the middle of the night? Does he not worry about one of them getting shot? I would be damned if I would let a neighbor's dog wake me up once, let alone for several years straight.

I would also be ashamed if I lived in ahole like he does and own a big lincoln. If you want a groovy example of white trash then Wild Bill is it.

Yes, I bet you guys wish you had a little hindsight. If you would have just let your Aunt Minny go along with her children, you wouldn't be dealing with Bill Myers because he would be squatting on his step-daddy' property down in that trashy fox hollow.

He would be gone and there would be a new road over Bill's mothers property.

Really, if there's anyone to blame for Bill's behavior, it's Linda. She has not only allowed him to set up shop on her family's land, but she won't do anything about the way in which he treats the rest of the family. Sonds to me like he'e run across somebody up there that's not going to put up with his crap.

Don't worry, he's coward. Always has been. He'll go along with the program. The city of Townsend will make sure. I know that the city government is pretty lowsy, but you talk enough tourists into filing enough ripoffreports and Spanky will get off his lazy a$$. They won't do ANYTHING for local folks who want it, but they'll bend over backwards for these jake-legs that come through here every year.

To Hell w/ Wild Bill! I wouldn't let him hang drywall in my doghouse.

Animal Control Policy of Blount County

AUTHOR: Insideman - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, March 19, 2008

Here's alink to the animal control resolution that applies tot his situation:
http://www.blounttn.org/comm/animal_control.pdf

Obviously Spanky doesn't have time to read this document. I'm not so sure that he has the skills anyways judging from his past misinterpretations and lies about local legislation.

Our local sheriff, Jimbo Berrong has already made the statement in a county commission meeting that animal control wasn't part of his departments responsibilty.

Bull&%*t! The animal control policy is part of the Tennessee Code Annotated which is the LAW in this state.

How you ever heard a sheriff refuse to do his job to such a degree as James L. Berrong?

I guess he hasn't figured out how to make his family some money off animal control yet. If that were the case he'd probably be the one to grab the noose and start chasing dogs is he weren't afraid of actual work.

City of Townsend Police Chief Ronnie "Spanky" Suttles

AUTHOR: Aaron - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 18, 2008

Flora, thanks for the report. We need more tourists to file ripoff-reports concerning their stay in Townsend. It could be a nice peaceful place but not with Spanky in charge. The guy coming up behind him who will probably be our new police chief is equally as idiotic and ignorant.

I guess LAZY would be the best word to describe Spaky's work ethic but that's just BC law enforcement in general.

I just wanted to let you know, even though I have had a personal conversation with you, there's another blog on the ripoffreport entitled "Chief Ron" that addresses some of Spanky's most recent criminal behavior. This fool actually thought that HE wrote the law and could change it around to his liking.

I dare that little runt to ever come on my property with another illegitimate attempt at enforcing HIS laws. Even the mayor told me one time that "....there's the law, and then there's Ronnie's law........"

Wrong.....................there's the law and then there's stupidity.......... of which the mayor and the chief both represent......that's the stupidity part, of course.

I'm glad that I could be of servce to you. It's not everyday that you meet somebody from FL with a little sense.

Tell your friends about your stay in Townsend and the RIPOFFREPORT.COM.

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!
