Dear Liberty Dispatch and fellow Liberty County citizens,
Is it just me or has the local media’s handling of our local assistant district attorney pulling a gun on a neighbor been queer. Instead of making hay out of a salacious story, the local media is bound and determined to quiet the story down.
The local media reporting that the people who were threatened at gunpoint by Assistant DA Joe Warren are not saying exactly what they said months ago is queer also. The people felt THREATENED! Now they have Houston television and others watching and they are telling their story freely. A media that is almost always drawn to drama and conspiracy should enjoy this story. But the local media seems to be attacking the messenger.
Also I have noticed some media is acting as if the poor judgment the officer on this scene displayed in one of the many cases he has handled somehow vindicates Joe Warren. How? They never explained the connection. They also have never explained why every case this officer is involved in doesn’t get this scrutiny – why this case?
But the biggest most disingenuous part of local media’s coverage is when they act like it is unusual that the sheriff’s department has not included the district attorney’s office in every step involved in preparing to indict an assistant DA. Duh!
Rumor has it that the district attorney’s office refused to accept charges from the sheriff’s department all this week. Maybe that Mike Little was out of the loop because he was playing games with the sheriff’s department and when they refused to do their job they put themselves out of the loop.
When I heard a man had a gun pointed at him by someone on Mike Little’s staff, I thought “I am glad that wasn’t me. I thought nothing will ever happen to him, but if it were me I would be in jail.”

Outsider Update - DA Mike Little gives false statements to press
Houston Chronicle: Threat over dog attack leads to charges.
Yes, The Houston Chronicle is playing up the PIT BULL aspect of the Joe Warren arrest case. It is an article by Cindy Horswell and she has even drug up old stories about the lead investigator in this case. However she has also highlighted the alleged angle that DA Mike Little was left out of the loop while providing information that could only have come from DA Mike Little. Virtually every news agency is reporting that the Sheriff's Office has no comment on the case at this time, yet somehow the Houston Chronicle has dug up the name of the lead investigator. The Houston Chronicle is speaking with DA Mike Little and it’s funny how someone who claims to have been out of the loop could know so much about the case. This is nothing new to the Outsiders, we wrote about Mike Little playing dumb about this case back in October of 2010 in our article entitled: "Taking Liberty, Part 3". In that article, published on libertydispatch.blogspot.com (LD), we demonstrated with numerous Public Information Act (PIA) Requests that many local governments were covering up the gun and threat aspects of the dog incident at and next door to First Assistant DA Joe Warren's home.
The Houston Chronicle article does not have any dates and as such it would lead many readers to think that this "PIT BULL" story is new and that (Banjo Music Playing in Background) the Sheriff is arresting the wrong people over the matter. This story is in fact an old case. The Strawn Family, who are next door neighbors to Joe Warren, own the pit bulls in question and have already been to court. That part of the case has already been adjudicated and the Strawn Family had their dogs returned to them long ago. However, even that part of the case was a story in and of itself as the Strawn Family had to appeal convictions from laws that were not even on the books by a local J.P. (Bobby Raider). Liberty County has been a very scary place to face charges in court, especially when one's accuser has political ties. The Outsiders also demonstrated that DA Mike Little had a history prosecuting a member of the Strawn Family in our article entitled: "Taking Liberty, Part 3". With that kind of a history it is easy to see why the Strawn Family would be fearful of filing charges against a politically connected government official. They did not file charges until after Liberty Dispatch published our story demonstrating the cover up, giving them some hope that their complaints would be taken seriously by the Sheriff's Office.
The Houston Chronicle is missing the whole point. This case is not about the dogs, it is about the cover up of what the First Assistant DA did and even the covering up of the investigation into the matter. The Outsiders have used the Texas PIA law for good reason, we now have in writing the official words from DA Mike Little's Office about the original case numbers (10-04735 & 10-0463) regarding the Pit Bull and Joe Warren Gun incident: “We do not have any records responsive to your request.” is what the DA's office had to say back on September 3, 2010. We got this “we know nothing” response on the heels of getting similar run around from both the City of Liberty and the City of Liberty Municipal Court Judge Bobby Rader. The evidence is attached to "Taking Liberty, Part 3" published on libertydispatch.blogspot.com
According to the Houston Chronicle, DA Mike Little claims he's been out of the Sheriff Office's loop, but he's been saying stuff like that since September and he has continued to play dumb even after we sent him that PIA request to remind him that his First Assistant DA has issues and he hasn't even bothered to find out what. See our PIA request dated 09-01-2010 and note that point #4 reminds DA Mike Little that it involves First Assistant DA Joe Warren saying “I will kill you”. Also see the signed attached official response from Liberty County DA Mike Little dated 09-03-2010. Time will tell, but it is most certain that evidence will show that it was DA Mike Little and his staff who were deliberately avoiding this case and that is what forced the legal process to find new ways to handle this case. Remember Mr. Little is a professional obfuscator who takes great pride in his abilities to deliver his tautological disinformation to the members of the press in combination with his position as the Liberty County District Attorney.
The question is simple! Did Mr. Little tell the truth to the press regarding his statement wherein he said…
”District Attorney Mike Little said he had not received any information on the investigation from the Liberty County Sheriff's Office which filed the charges against Warren."
DA Mike Little: "My office has been left out of the loop," he said. "This has been handled in an extremely unusual way. In the past, allegations against any public official are reviewed by a grand jury before charges are filed."

LIBERTY COUNTY DA ARRESTED ON FELONY CHARGES
![]() |
| Liberty County DA, Joseph "Joe" Warren Mugshot |
Joe Warren case background.
Liberty County Assistant DA, Joseph "Joe" Warren is the person prosecuting the nationally known Cleveland Rape Cases. These charges and arrest come on the heals of criminal allegations against Joseph Warren's boss, Liberty County DA Mike Little's homosexual rape of a prisoner.
The Warren arrest is part of a broader ongoing Liberty County, Texas corruption probe by Liberty County Sheriff Henry Patterson and the Liberty County Sheriff's Department.
Liberty Dispatch contacted the Liberty County Jail and Warden Timothy New- as run by the CEC Corporation and made inquires about the arrest. CEC has refused to give out the queried public information as requested by media sources. CEC Jail Corporation is notorious for corruption, drugs, filth, inept medical treatment, inmate sex and multiple other crime scandals.
Sources indicate that Liberty County DA Mike Little was brought the charges against Joseph Warren and others multiple times and he refused to accept the charges by the Liberty County Sheriff's Department. Clearly this proves that Mike Little is guilty of criminal acts related to official misconduct, selective prosecution and dereliction of duty.
Charges:
Tamper w/witness
Terroristic threat
Deadly conduct
Mr. Warren was PR Bonded on all three offenses June 29, 2011 by Judge Don Burgess.
UPDATE: Liberty County DA Mike Little has said he is not firing Joe Warren.

FONTENOT STILL DOESN’T GET IT
When Commissioner Todd Fontenot tried to get the other commissioners and the county judge to vote to build his precinct a new building, many of us wondered if Fontenot had gotten to that pickup load of pot before the bust and smoked it. Fontenot was warned years ago and he decided to go along with Lee Groce in a scheme that stretched precinct one commissioner’s area across the river. He was told that the little political game he and Groce were playing would make it too expensive for taxpayers because of the cost of moving equipment so far – unless he planned to make taxpayers buy a new building. Hello!
After Commissioner Fontenot learned that the defeat of Lee Groce and former County Judge Phil Fitzgerald meant there was new management in town and that the taxpayer was going to be considered, you would think he would behave in a way that would woo some voters towards him in the next election. But it did not.
When Liberty Commissioners voted to give notice to Phil Fitzgerald of their intention to move three county offices out of the building near Moss Hill, Fontenot let everyone know that he doesn’t get it. Nevertheless, the offices of County Fire Marshall, Constable Pct. #3, and JP #3 will move temporarily to Hardin City Hall. A new county building is constructed near the current Precinct #2 County Barn and in the meantime the rent is the same $1,200 per month was charging Fitzgerald. Liberty County Judge Craig McNair said it doesn’t look right for county officials should not be doing business with the county. But Commissioner Todd Fontenot voted against the measure! He said he “wanted more information” and cast the only dissenting vote in a 3 to 1 decision.
Todd Fontenot’s term ends December 31st 2012. If he decides he wants four more years, voters will have to agree with him the first week of November in the 2012 election. Liberty Dispatch has heard that Randy Humber is considering running for the Democratic nomination and Mike McCarty is considering running as a Republican for Commissioner Precinct #1. There are still doubts about whether Fontenot will seek another term.
Walks like a duck, talks like a duck- must be a stinking corrupt Democrat…

Corruption in the Liberty County Courthouse- Turning The Corner
Until the recent elections, there had been a very strong undercurrent of corruption in the Liberty County courthouse for over 150 years. Until Liberty Dispatch and other good people came along, the corrupt politicians and their underlings had run the table in Liberty County. The corruption in the Liberty County courthouse was like a seething and bleeding wound that would never heal. People were very afraid to talk about or challenge the Liberty County corrupt machine.
When Liberty Dispatch and its contributors started putting heat on the corrupt politicians in the courthouse who just happened to be Democrats, some left, some hid, some suddenly became ill with cancer, some were removed from office by Liberty Dispatch promoted elections and others did nothing. Those corrupt people who have sit back and done nothing as they and their cronies were exposed- hatched up elaborate schemes to indict and persecute those who were revealing their corruption. The last Bastian of the Liberty County courthouse corruption centered in the Liberty County DA's office along with their cronies in law enforcement and a corrupt Texas Ranger, Frank Huff. Unfortunately, since the last election some of those in lead judiciary rolls have looked the other way at the oppressive and selective criminal acts and actions of the Liberty County DA's office. LD and its supporters hope those mentioned judicial leaders make a public and notorious showing against the acts of the DA's office before those leaders are deemed part of the corruption problem.
Two weeks before the last election, Republican activist paid the price by the corrupt judge CT Hight and Liberty County DA, Mike Little- when two republican activist had trumped up charges heaped upon them in a panic attack by CT Hight and Mike Little to retain power. CT High lost his bid to keep his judge's job and the two Republican activists were again indicted. The winners of that election were the people of Liberty County and the new Judge Mark Morefield who Liberty Dispatch helped achieve almost rock star status.
Most of the local Liberty County Media is also in on the corruption, they use their influence to help keep the last bit of corruption they are connected to in place. When Liberty County Sheriff, Henry Patterson started investigating the corruption in Liberty County- he and his people were harassed and investigated by corrupt Texas Ranger, Frank Huff and the Liberty County DA's office. Sheriff Patterson and his people have persevered the illegal, oppressive, selective and trumped up charges against him and people in his department. Going back to the corrupt Liberty County media, Vanesa Brashier of the Cleveland Advocate and Dayton News has made it her personal vendetta to harass Sheriff Henry Patterson and demonize his people and department. She is obviously working in tandem with the corrupt who seek to damage those who would uncover and reveal the corrupt undercurrent in Liberty County. Others who have demonstrated their part or willingness in attempts to cover-up corruption in Liberty County are Alan Youngblood of i-dineout and Bill Buchanan of KSHN radio.
Like all corruption that has the light shined on it, eventually comes the time for the corrupt to fall. Now is the time for those who have fought privately, publicly and those honest in Law Enforcement to enjoy the fruits of their hard work. Better yet, now is the time for the people of Liberty County to look forward to a time when they no longer live in a corrupt and illegally oppressive community.
Let’s all selflessly do our part to fight the corruption in Liberty County for the sake of our families and future generations as we- 'turn the corner'.
