Did you buy property in Searcy County, Arkansas? Did your lovely rural retreat turn into Hell on Earth?

Join the club.

I’ve complained about Judge Susan Weaver, Sheriff Deputy Ezra Pierce and Court Reporter Jana Perry.

It seems that the RICO type enterprise in Searcy County, Arkansas spreads into more than just the court and sheriff’s office. The clerk’s office looks a little fishy, too.

I researched Caseinfo.arcourts.gov to find other properties that Judge Weaver transferred from control by a trustee to a plaintiff who was purposefully left out of the trust, to see if there is a pattern.

One troubling case I found was not quite on target. The property was lost by judicial foreclosure, sold and the proceeds given to a bank. But the case was hotly contested for about seven years. Yikes!

The part that concerns me most is that the winner of the courthouse sale was the Deputy Clerk of Searcy County, Arkansas, Michelle Loggins.

So, the Clerk Debbie Loggins was the auctioneer of the property and the winner of the auction was Deputy Clerk Michelle Loggins and her husband Paul, who bid $82,000. Hmm?

You may ask, how does a deputy county clerk in podunk Arkansas afford to pay $82,000 cash at a courthouse sale? Well, the receipt from a month after the sale said the payor was “L & L Drywall”. There is an L & L Acoustic and Drywall in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Maybe Paul Loggins is involved with the drywall company. Or maybe the enterprising clerk is double escrowing the cheap deals that can be had through judicial foreclosures. [In reviewing the judgement written by Judge Susan Weaver, I see that Judge Weaver allowed the successful bidder three months of credit at 10% interest per annum. I have not seen any courthouse sale that extended credit before. Some non-judicial foreclosures require immediate payment. Some allow 24 hours. The one judicial foreclosure I’ve been involved with as a purchaser allowed us a brief time to pay, but we had the cash on the day we bid. (2/26/2022)]

The auction sale was not advertised in the local Marshall Mountain Wave. It was advertised in a paper out of Fayetteville in Northwest Arkansas.

The order confirming the sale in Searcy County Circuit Court case No. 65CV-14-20 was signed by Judge Susan Weaver on February 16, 2022.

Another thing that caught my attention is that the person who lost the property was named in two capacities in the suit, once as an individual, Jo Elliot, and once as a trustee of the John Paxton Elliot Trust. There were two summonses issued and served on the woman, one as an individual and one as “trustee”.

I’ve been complaining to Judge Weaver since June 2021 that I was sued as codefendant with a trust as the other defendant and no summons was issued to a trustee of the trust. After more than 200 days Judge Weaver convinced the plaintiff attorney William White to issue a second summons, but White wrote “c/o Laura Lynn (Hammett)” instead of “Laura Lynn Hammett as trustee of the Rural Revival Living Trust”. Summonses are supposed to withstand strict scrutiny of the law. That summons cannot.

All I can say is that if you don’t want to lose your property through a court action, don’t buy property anywhere Susan Weaver is the judge. She said she likes to play with other people’s money, according to an article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Apparently, many of the little people in the government of Marshall, Arkansas and the other small towns under Queen Weaver’s reign have gotten in on the game.

What fun.
