ABC BOARD ENDORSES ADULTERY AND NON-PAYMENT OF TAXES, FEES




On March 16th, the ABC Board approved the permit for the 1836 Club in spite of  nearly an hour of testimony and evidence regarding the lack of moral character of the three principal investors, of which two are officers in the club. Evidence was also presented that a false document (bogus membership list) had been included in the application.  Both moral character and submission of false documents are reasons to deny issuance of a permit.
 
 
FROM THE ABC RULES & REGULATIONS

Over 20 exhibits were introduced at an ABC appeal hearing regarding the 1836 Club's permit that shed light on the lack of good moral character of Mark Camp, Jeremy Hutchinson and Rodney Damon.

 
CAMP, HUTCHINSON AND DAMON
 
Usually long-time board member Mickey Powell asks the applicant if they will follow the laws and pay taxes, but he skipped that usual spiel after hearing testimony that Camp, Hutchinson and Damon has problems with paying taxes, fees, unpaid debts and misuse of campaign funds.
 
The story of Camp, Hutchinson and Damon could be storyline a for a soap opera or a reality show. Adultery, domestic violence involving a stuffed alligator head, lawsuits concerning unpaid debts and vehicles, suspension of law license and warrants for failure to appear at a hearing will guaranty high ratings. 

Camp and his third wife, Nordina (the listed COO for the club) worked at Crews & Associates. Camp was an investment banker, a/k/a bond salesman and Lalmond was in their IT Department. 
 
 
NORDINA BINTI LALMOND-CAMP


Ah...love in the workplace. Sometimes that leads to divorce and details of a dalliance.




CAMP'S DEPOSITION IN HIS CURRENT WIFE'S DIVORCE PROCEEDING


Camp was a witness in Lalmond's divorce proceeding and even provided an affidavit to boost her case. How did Camp know that she had been living separate and apart from her estranged husband?  You figure it out.  And guess who represented her?  Hutchinson. Hutchinson also represented Camp when he was sued for a $10,000 credit card debt.

LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER HER DIVORCE, SHE HAS A BUSINESS OPERATING FROM CAMP'S HOME

Crews & Associates was involved in some shady business during Camp's time as an employee which resulted in a Consent Order from the Arkansas Securities Commissioner and a Cease-and-Desist Order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We don't know if Camp was connected to the shenanigans but he left around the time these orders were filed.

You might find all that interesting, but hang on a minute...Damon is married (his third wife as well) to Camp's second wife, Michelle. Strange business partner bedfellows.

MICHELLE AND RODNEY DAMON


Hutchinson has had his own share of marital discord and his adulterous relationship made headlines.

Add a newly appointed ABC Board member (Chris Palmer) that is a drinking buddy of theirs to the mix and you have a Lifetime movie in the making.

Palmer smartly stepped out of the proceedings citing a conflict.  That was  disappointing as the photographic evidence to urge him to recuse would have proved entertaining.

Maybe Dillard's has a good reason to be worried about the goings on at the 1836 Club.  We understand that they are installing extra security cameras to be pointed at the club to document the illicit activity their letter of opposition mentioned.

The ABC needs to apply their Rules and Regulations to all applicants in a fair and consistent manner. But when political appointees, and the nephew of the Governor that has power over them remaining in their positions, are involved in a situation like this you know what the outcome will be.

Maybe there will be an appeal filed of the boards decision to issue the permit. Stay tuned.

Little Rock Mayor's wedding announcement leads to a discovery of another legal blunder of Antwan Phillips

The feckless Little Rock mayor made this post of Facebook yesterday. So this morning we went to the County Clerk's website and grabbed a copy of his marriage license application. We immediately noticed that both Scott and his bride to be listed the same residence address - 8101 Kanis Oaks Drive. Scott's residence on his voter records is on Edwina Drive in Southwest Little Rock. Scott's bride-to-be is registered to vote in Florida. More about her later on in the story. So we Googled that address. According to records on file with Pulaski County, the property is owned by DRS Family Trust. You might wonder who is DRS Family Trust. Well dear readers, it's the mayor. The trust uses the middle initials of the mayor ("D" for Derrick) and his future spouse ("R" for Renee). the "S" is for Scott. How did we come to that conclusion? Well dear readers, it's from the mortgage the feckless mayor took out on his new home. And the feckless mayor also ...
