Liberty County just came out of a major and historical Republican win but, here we go...

"New LCSO deputy can’t shake Harris County controversy

Updated: 11.11.10

It took a month, but the controversy surrounding Louis Guthrie, a former Harris County sheriff’s deputy and former Republican candidate for Harris County Pct. 4 Constable, has finally found him in Liberty County.

Guthrie, one of the newest hires for the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO), was fired from Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) back in 2009, after 17 years with the department, for allegedly initiating a full-blown investigation at an Humble car wash in July 2009 after $16 was stolen from his wife’s vehicle."

Local alleged liberal news outlet, the Cleveland Advocate has published a recent story which has become an interest to Liberty Dispatch readers.

Vanesa Brashier, Advocate Editor seems to alert Liberty County residents that a controversial figure and law enforcement officer, Louis Guthrie from Harris County, has been hired by Liberty County Sheriff, Henry Patterson. She goes on to explain in detail how this man had multiple problems and accusations against him in his past. All allegations against this man to date have been cleared. The only controversy in Liberty County surrounding this man is what Brashier has created.

Next she appears to cast a shadow of doubt on Sheriff Patterson's judgment in hiring people who have been a-political and/or conservative history... as if its a negative for a public official or officer to be conservative.

In Brashier's story she claims: "Liberty County Sheriff Henry Patterson was asked to comment for this article, but he declined." According to statements made to Liberty Dispatch from the Liberty County Sheriff's Department, the Sheriff talked to Vanesa Brashier for over an hour about Officer Guthrie.

What puzzles many Liberty Dispatch readers is the fact that documented crimes have been committed and publicly exposed in Liberty County but... ignored by the local media. It appears the local liberal media has become an unwitting conspirator in those documented crimes by their non-reporting.

In all appearances, Liberty Dispatch is somewhat impressed with Guthrie's conservative stances and past work.

Its appears we have more than a few media outlets in Liberty County who have a real aversion to the Republican Party and/or Conservatives.

TO SWAP OR NOT TO SWAP: YOUR DECISION!

I, Andy McCreight, hereby proclaim that I will remain neutral in matters concerning future Republican Candidates.

I will not support or endorse any current Liberty County Democrats who are contemplating leaving the Democrat Party and making declarations to become associated with the Republican Party.

The time has passed. The election has occurred.

Anyone seeking public office in Liberty County Texas as a Republican should make application at the appropriate time and live with the results of the Republican Party Primary Process.

The Republican Voters of Liberty County deserve the right to decide who the 2012 Liberty County Republican Candidates will be.

As far as I am concerned; Incumbency will not be an advantage in 2012.

Clues and probability in the death of Odell McDuffie

Final star between arrows denote impact point.

UPDATE: Texas Governor, Rick Perry's Office has contacted several local Liberty County Officials and businesses with orders to secure all evidence related to Odell's car and those cars used to repair Odell's patrol car.

It was a sad day when several of us from Liberty Dispatch went out to the accident scene where Liberty County Sheriff's Deputy, Odell McDuffie died.

After a survey of the scene and interviews with witnesses,  it is my best determination the following happened.

1. Odell rounded the farm road curve and his car throttled wide open.
2. According to witnesses, they claim the vehicle engine revved wide open.
3. The car crossed the opposing lane and went off the road and hit a tree.
4. The car spun around after impacting the front right drivers side of the vehicle.
5. Witnesses who appeared almost immediately on the scene state- the air bag had deployed and Odell was pinned under the dash with his hand still grasping the steering wheel but unresponsive.
6. A fire in the engine compartment started almost immediately upon impact.
7. It is believed Odell's neck was probably broken from the impact while he was under the dash.

Summation:  I believe Odell was traversing a corner when suddenly the car accelerated on its own- wide open.  Thinking the accelerator was stuck, Odell then leaned down under the dash to try to unfreeze the accelerator.  When Odell leaned to the right and under the dash, his hand over corrected and caused him to go off the road.  Odell was probably moving at 60+ miles per hour and the 50-75 yards he covered at the aforementioned speed, was unrecoverable.

I believe the proximate cause of Odell's ultimate death was due to a faulty material mechanical defect in the Ford Crown Victoria police vehicle he was operating.

The car and its computer must be preserved for further investigation.

Odell, you will be missed...

Ford Crown Victoria and Sudden Acceleration Defect

In a case of sudden acceleration by a Ford Crown Victoria, the firm recently took depositions of Ford's Rule 30(b)(6) representatives to discover how, or even if, Ford makes proper use of customer and dealership complaints.

From the testimony, any reasonable person would conclude, Ford has not conducted any meaningful investigations into complaints of sudden unintended acceleration despite thousands of customer complaints and dealer inquiries. The evidence at an eventual trial will show that Ford has taken no reasonable steps to warn the public of the possible danger of unintended acceleration events in their vehicles.

Despite thousands of complaints, Ford’s formal “investigation” involved nothing more than attaching a recording device to the vehicles and/or driving the vehicles; if the event did not replicate, Ford dismissed the complaint as being caused solely by driver error (i.e., stepping simultaneously on the brake and accelerator).

Ford calls the driver error “fat foot” no matter what your shoe size,  thus demonstrating a cavalier disregard for the legitimate complaints from thousands of worried customers and for the personal safety of consumers and other motorists. Despite a rash of ongoing complaints from customers after the Electronic Throttle Control System was introduced, Ford’s only formal investigation into this safety concern was concluded in the fall of 2005.

The firm has learned through discovery that Ford was notified of at least 12 separate complaints from police and fire departments involving the 2005 Crown Victoria; Ford dismissed each and every one as being caused by “fat feet”!

One such complaints was brought by a police officer whose cruiser took off after he left the gas pump and careened across the parking lot striking a second cruiser and injuring the female officer seated in that second vehicle. After striking the second vehicle, the runaway Ford continued to accelerate, spinning its rear wheels and fish-tailing in place as it pushed the second vehicle into a curb. The spinning wheels literally tore the top layer of asphalt off the parking lot.  Ford attributed the incident to fat feet. The police officer will be a witness at trial and will testify that he was pressing on the brake pedal with both feet as hard as he could!

Incoming Information

In 2010 Liberty Dispatch has had to be selective in choosing what to pursue when given tips about criminal activity. The sheer volume has required it. In this election year we received more leads than in anytime since the website was turned on. Some of them were worthless and some alleged very serious and very illegal activity.

As we near the end of the year we would like to thank those people who have read this site and those who have defended this site and even prayed for us, but we also want to say a special thank you to those who had the courage to send us information. We have investigated some of the tips, we have reported some of the facts, and even after the election, we are confident that indictments will be forthcoming. We are still looking into some of the allegations that have been made; and have forwarded some to proper authorities. We ourselves are probably not even as patient as our worst critic, but the victory goes to those who persevere.

To give our readers a taste of the kind of things sent to us that we do not have the time to pursue, below is an e-mail we received a few days before the election.

“David T McCullough who is running for Liberty County Treasurer is being sued by my family after taking 15000.00 from us in Feb for a piece of property in Dayton that he told us he owned. In JUNE we found out he didn't own this property a dead man did and it still had a 26000,00 loan on it from the Texas Veteran Land Board. Even if we paid this off we wouldn't own it because Mr. McCullough doesn't own it. The dead man's estate does. Mr. McCullough found out we had hired Walter Fontenot in Liberty County to represent us and he's done his best to file every fraudulent paper with the county and the tax authorities in Tarkington because he hasn't even paid taxes since 2006 and he is not a tax accountant he's nothing. I wouldn't want this man in my county seat as a treasurer. He has his office in Houston located at 7712 Harrisburg Houston Texas 77012 as a homestead said to be owned by Maudine McCullough Who by the way has been dead since 1997 and is also claiming a senior exemption on a dead woman. This is a Good MAN NOT!!!! this is all public record and can be verified.”

Please stay tuned as the coming months will reveal some of the self-dealing that has been going on in the courthouse. Please keep adding to our vaults and help us help the newly elected public officials restore our local government’s integrity.
