Statement
Every time we insisted that our attorney's subpoena the meeting minutes that would prove our innocence, we were threatened with an additional warrant for our arrest and told that we would be arrested. The secretary treasurer stated under oath that the meeting minutes were in the filing cabinet where they had been all along and no one came to get them. The DA Noble D. Walker coerced a plea agreement out of Chad Lee Tanner even though he knew that we were innocent and we spent thousands and thousands of dollars, we were also held captive by the county for 4 years under bond for something we did not do. It was proven during the restitution hearing that the one who brought the allegations against us in the first place, Mark Caldwell knew all along that everything was voted on by the voting members of the department and unanimously approved and he lied under oath then at the end of the trial, he came clean and testified that everything was voted on and approved and that nothing was stolen but my case was not overturned and the plea agreement withdrawn. The DA operated in a very shady manner and should not have a licence to practice. Please pull the Hearing Recording, you will hear it all for yourself on the audio and read it in the transcript of the hearing. 32916CR | THE STATE OF TEXAS Vs. CHAD LEE TANNER
