People tied to DA Mike Little do his bidding or go public raising issues in an attempt to thwart justice.This Outsider Report is intended to clear the air about misc. issues regarding the Joe Warren arrest case and the now closed Strawn dog case. Moreover the public will have an opportunity to look back at the trail of evidence of Officials tied to DA Mike Little abusing their positions and covering up the related public records.
Liberty County 1st Assistant District Attorney Joe Warren was arrested and charged on June 29, 2011, for tampering with a witness, terroristic threats, and deadly conduct. The Outsiders and The Liberty Dispatch staff posted stories about it immediately on
www.libertydispatch.blogspot.com Both original stories were based directly from a brief press release and picture from The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office. For most media outlets, this is the first mention of the Joe Warren dog/gun incident, but it has been an issue on the Liberty Dispatch for many months now. The Outsiders wrote a story entitled
“Taking Liberty, Part 3” back on October 1st 2010 that covered the original incident and the cover up of that incident. Public records were denied to exist by The Liberty County DA's Office (headed by Mike Little), The City of Liberty (represented by City Secretary Dianne Tidwell) and no response received from The City of Liberty Municipal Court (headed by Judge Bobby Rader.) Now, with Liberty County DA Mike Little, City of Liberty Police Chief Tidwell, and their ilk raising issues about the arrest via certain media outlets; the Outsiders will address many of those issues with the newly released court records in hand to prove our points.
The dates of important events and the newly released court documents from the Strawn dog case and the Joe Warren arrest case are listed in chronological order below along with Outsider PIA requests and official government responses from the previous story: “Taking Liberty, Part 3”. These documents will be discussed in chronological order, one by one, to expose DA Mike Little and his cronies/troglodytes in lies and to bring to light the facts surrounding the Mike Little Cartel for all Liberty County citizens to view.
Chronology: 1.
03-07-2003 Thomas Reagon Strawn was prosecuted by Mike Little in Chambers County at this time. (date case disposed) (This record demonstrates that the Strawn family and DA Mike Little had prior relationship). Later, DA MIKE LITTLE DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THOMAS STRAWN dog/Joe Warren case. The question here is
WHY? 2.
04-24-2010 The Strawn dog incident and Joe Warren gun incident in fact occurred on this date,
(Joe Warren's house) however City of Liberty Police Chief Billy Tidwell, via his wife, City Secretary Dianne Tidwell DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE of the incident. The question here is
WHY?3.
04-26-2010 Strawn dog case - Warrant for Seizure of Animals signed by City of Liberty Municipal Judge, Bobby Rader- also has Notice of Declaration of Dog as Vicious attached. The problem here folks is this; our County Attorney Wes Hinch in concert with J.P. Judge Bobby Rader, prosecuted the Strawn’s with a law that was NO LONGER ON THE BOOKS! At this point of the story we must ask the question “Did Judge Rader and Wes Hinch have any idea the law they were using to prosecute the Strawn family was current up to date law??? The answer is YES! The attorney representing the Strawn family informed Judge Rader and Wes Hinch in WRITING via a Motion filed with the court and a copy to Wes Hinch proving the law they were using was NOT LAW!!! In addition, check the date on the Warrant: The dogs were taken from the Strawn family BEFORE the warrant was signed by a Judge. And read the Warrant, it's about whether or not the dogs have been abandoned or mistreated??? Joe Warren wanted those dogs dead and now they faced a death sentence even when Texas law did not provide that for a dogs that haven't harmed any PERSON. The Strawn's dogs were declared “Vicious” without giving the Strawn family any opportunity to present any evidence to a court. It's seems the rules get made up as we go along when Mike Little's friends are involved in a case. That’s right folks,
both Judge Rader and County Attorney Wes Hinch are in Bed with their friends Mike Little and First Asst. District Attorney Joe Warren and it is this relationship that demonstrates this was a PERSECUTION and not a prosecution of the Strawn family. Remember folks your family could be the next victims of the Little Cartel.
4.
06-17-2010 Strawn dog case- Notice of Arraignment/Appeal to Liberty County Court at Law from Wesley N. Hinch. Note that the Notice is CRIMINAL in nature even though the actual existing laws are Civil in nature. (No Strawn family member was cited for violating any crime.) In this appeal any non-lawyer can see the law was no longer a law and the Judge was out of line right along with Wes Hinch. The Cartel did not care about that, the Constitutional Rights of our neighbors do not apply to the Strawn family or anyone else in Liberty County if they, the Cartel, say so.
5.
06-25-2010 Strawn dog case- Motion to Quash Charge and Set Aside Information and to Dismiss. This motion by the Strawn family attorney cites Texas Attorney General Opinion regarding dangerous dog appeals being civil in nature and not criminal. The Strawn family attorney also notes that there were no sworn statements of any witness used by Animal Control to declare the Strawn dogs dangerous. The dogs were impounded illegally with an improper warrant for two months after being illegally seized without warrant, despite law requiring a hearing within 10 days. Even after the hearing was allowed, the Strawn family witnesses were not allowed to testify. Where is the rule of law? Holding the Strawn family dogs with a death sentence under these violations of the law was clearly intended to terrorize the Strawn family and demonstrate the abusive power of the Little Cartel.
6.
06-29-2010 Outsider obtained copy of the City of Liberty Police Departments Report consisting of (7 Pages) demonstrating the Strawn dog incident and the Joe Warren Gun incident. Remember folks, according to the police report Officer Wakefield reports on page 7, Joe Warren stated he wanted the dogs dead because they killed his dog. One other point that should be made, at the fence where the dog dug the hole, all of the dirt was on Joe Warren’s side of the fence according to witnesses. See top of page 7. Folks this would be what Mike Little and Joe Warren would call “Preponderance of the Evidence.” Moreover, demonstrating Joe Warren’s dog escaped from Joe’s yard and into the Strawn yard attacking and badly injuring their puppy. During the attack and the cries from the puppy, Strawn’s dogs came to the rescue of the puppy by kicking Joe’s dog’s butt!
Joe, like his dog, lost his cool, and now wants to hold others responsible for his short comings.7.
07-XX-2010 Strawn dog case - Notice of Appeal and Motion to Dismiss was filed giving the Cartel one more opportunity to do the right thing. That did not happen and the persecution continued until a visiting Judge outside of Liberty County and outside of Mike Little’s Cartel agreed the law used by Wes Hinch and Judge Bobby Rader was no longer the Law in the State of Texas. One member of the State Bar stated Wes Hinch and Judge Bobby Rader are
“Stains upon the fabric of Texas”. In this motion, the Strawn family attorney adds that there were no witnesses to the dog incident, the fresh dirt was on Joe Warren's side of the fence, there was also an electric fence on the Strawn side of the fence to prevent those dogs from getting within 2 feet of the fence, a fourteen week old puppy on the Strawn side of the fence was also badly injured, and that other dogs on the Warren side of the fence were not harmed. The Strawn family attorney also suggests that Joe Warren's dog may have first come under the fence and attacked the Strawn puppy. Other dog details are given, but it is also noted that after a motion to quash the charge from the non-existent law was filed, the Liberty Animal Control declared the Strawn family dogs dangerous again, based on entirely on the same incident. This created a situation where Ms. Strawn faced TWO cases pending simultaneously about the same incident. It seems that Mike Little and his cronies like to put people through all kinds of persecution, and if they still don't win, they will just start another trial on the same incident. Like double jeopardy in criminal cases, the civil principle of Res Judicata is our right to not face an unlimited number of lawsuits over the same issue. Folks, this is not the only case in Liberty County to go this way. Sometimes, the cartel does this in criminal cases too. (And don't be expecting Vanessa from the Cleveland Advocate to mention it when it happens.) Lives have been ruined and much of the local media is mum. Not everybody can afford the kind of defense needed to beat this cartel.
Can you afford to be next?8.
08-15-2010 Outsider PIA Request to City of Liberty, City Secretary, Mrs. Dianne Tidwell regarding First Assistant D.A. Joe Warren gun incident requesting the case numbers. Here, once again, another member of the Mike Little Cartel responded in like kind and quality. After all, she is the wife of Chief Billy Tidwell, who is also best friends with Mike Little for more than ten years. This friendship between both men occurred when Mike Little and Billy Tidwell where both battling cancer. During this most unfortunate time in the life of both men, an unbreakable bond was made between them which stand the test of time to this day. While they both faced this problem together for mutual support, it demonstrates their historical connection with one another. The loyalty and trustworthiness followed by their allegiance to one another, allowing the Little Cartel to expand at the expense of Liberty County citizens like the Strawn’s and that of our Constitutional Rights. As a result, the Little Cartel has flourished for some 30 plus years in Liberty County, Texas.
No one including Vanesa of the Cleveland Advocate dare cross him. This also explains why she has not reported one negative report regarding Mike Little. 9.
08-17-2010 Official City of Liberty, City Secretary, Mrs. Dianne Tidwell RESPONSE denying that the city has “...any records responsive to your request”. Once again we see the same language in this letter as all the other responses from the Little Cartel, in this way the Cartel underlings could not say anything out of line, thus in accord with one another.
Mrs. Tidwell’s Official response on behalf of the good people of the City of Liberty was a lie! (See the attached Response)
10.
08-27-2010 Outsider PIA Request to City of Liberty, City Secretary, Mrs. Dianne Tidwell regarding Animal Control Reports and Records. Here again we have the same thing on Mrs. Tidwell’s part, No Truth! Because there is no truth within her… she is member of the Little Cartel and not the good people of the City of Liberty. As City Secretary on behalf of the people of the City of Liberty and the people of our County, she had a duty to seek at all times the truth and not participate in a “STAR CHAMBER” by perpetuating the deeds of Mike Little, Joe Warren, Bobby Rader and Wes Hinch. The people of Liberty County believe and insist that the people who represent the offices of the people hold in high esteem the virtue of truth! Not oppression, domination or tyranny.
11.
09-01-2010 Outsider PIA Request to Liberty County DA Mike Little regarding Assistant DA Joe Warren gun incident and providing case numbers 10-04735 and 10-0463. After receiving the Little Cartel’s (City of Liberty) responses to out PIA request filled with their tautological disinformation, the Outsiders sent an additional PIA request for the purpose of clarification we sent to them their own case numbers, only to fall upon deaf ears…while the Cartel attempted to seek protection from the Attorney General of the State of Texas requesting a determination wherein the requested information made to the City of Liberty was protected information. A case we must remember folks was “Closed” and no longer “Active”. The Outsiders did enjoy how articulate the City’s Attorney used his words of art while projecting his obfuscations upon the AG’s Office… there is more to come this part of the story and the lies upon lies by the Little Cartel.
12.
09-03-2010 Official Liberty County DA Mike Little RESPONSE via authorized Assistant Attorney Michael Mark denying that the DA has “any records responsive to your request”. This response has a similar ring to it! Folks, anyone with access to the Internet could obtain a copy of the records showing a connection between the Plaintiff and the Liberty County District Attorney Mike Little. Assistant District Attorney Michael Mark was told by Mike Little and Joe Warren how to respond to the Outsider's PIA Request. Shortly after Assistant District Attorney Michael Mark's deceitful response at the direction of Mike Little and Joe Warren, it became more than the moral fiber of Mr. Mark could handle… so he resigned shortly after the signing of the official response to the Outsiders.
13.
09-05-2010 Outsider PIA Request to City of Liberty Municipal Court Judge Bobby Rader regarding Cause No. CT100254 and LPD Case Number 10-04735. Here come upon the “no response” at all syndromes! As stated above regarding Judge Bobby Rader decision to rule on a law that was no longer on the books… he continued to also perpetuate the Mike Little Cartel’s mode of operation by simply remaining mute on the subject matter, thus “See no evil” (the updated law concerning dogs), and now “hear no evil” by ignoring the Outsiders PIA request under the laws of the State of Texas and thereby “Speaking no evil” by remaining mute and in total deniability regarding the subject matter. Remember folks, any of us could be next to being tried before a man that knows nothing of moral fiber, truth or the teachings of our Lord. Additionally, it’s a happy people who are governed by Godly men! Folks we’re not a happy people in Liberty County with the Little Cartel operating at this control panel.
14.
09-13-2010 Official City of Liberty, City Secretary, Mrs. Dianne Tidwell RESPONSE via City Attorney Randy Gunter- referencing some provided Animal Control Reports and Records sent to H. L. Moore, one of the Outsiders investigating this case. Here comes the City Attorney paid by the people of the City of Liberty commissioned by Mrs. Tidwell and her husband Chief of Police Billy Tidwell, Joe Warren and Mike Little, among others to further perpetuate the Little Cartel's tautological disinformation at its best. Here the City of Liberty talks about providing some information about the Strawn family dog incident, without any mention of the simultaneous Joe Warren gun incident.
15.
09-13-2010 Official City of Liberty, City Secretary, Mrs. Dianne Tidwell LETTER via City Attorney Randy Gunter to Attorney General of Texas – requesting PIA determination. After reading their letter for protection from the Outsiders and all of the other reports within this story an elementary student could see their obfuscations sent to the A.G’s Office. Here is the question, what will happen after this report, when the Outsiders send their written Findings of Fact to the Attorney General’s Office for their review? The big question here is did the AG receive the full story and thereby giving the AG the opportunity to make an informed decision? Remember folks, the Animal Control reports request and records and the Joe Warren report/incident request are one in the same incident.
16.
09-13-2010 Official City of Liberty, City Secretary, Mrs. Dianne Tidwell RESPONSE via City Attorney Randy Gunter- provided Animal Control Reports and Records. Some dog reports were provided with some of the information provided redacted by the attorney seeking protection from the State. No gun incident records were provided. In others words Folk, the City Attorney was asking the Attorney General of Texas to help Mr. Little’s Cartel without fully disclosing the full story and or facts.

06-28-2011 Joe Warren Warrant of Arrest for Tampering with a Witness, a State Jail Felony.19.
06-28-2011 Joe Warren Warrant of Arrest for Deadly Conduct a Class A Misdemeanor.20.
06-28-2011 Joe Warren Warrant of Arrest for Terroristic Threat a Class B Misdemeanor.Summary: Folks, Mr. Warren was arrested on these charges after a complaint was filed with the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office. The case was investigated by one of the Liberty County Sheriff’s Deputies the same way as any other investigation. The Sheriff’s investigator made TWO (2) attempts, on TWO different days of the week to see someone, anyone within the D.A.’s Office of Liberty County Texas, only to be rejected! Mike Little’s Office “REFUSED” to see, hear, consider or talk about or otherwise consider any case the Sheriff’s Investigator had to offer. With that said, the Sheriff’s Investigator was aware of his duty to protect the rights of the victims in this case, so the Investigator made the only other decision available to him as an Investigator to report a crime and protect the victims in this case.
The case was taken to a State District Judge for review… where the decision was made that probable cause did in fact exist. At this point the case was referred with a recommendation were made to Judge Underwood to assign the case to a visiting State District Judge who ALSO found “Probable Cause” to charge Joe Warren with the charges list within this report. Folks, that’s not one State District Judge, but THREE District Judges that believe there is “Probable Cause” against First Asst. District Attorney Joe Warren for his unlawful acts.
Additionally, it’s hard to believe at this juncture, that Mr. Mike Little could make the statement that “No Judge considered Probable Cause in this case” against Joe Warren. Folks this is not Mike Little's first Rodeo, he is well aware how the system works. Mr. Mike Little refused Deputy Louis Guthrie's good faith efforts to bring this matter to light within Mr. Little’s office. Now Mr. Little has the audacity hold the Sheriff and Deputy Louis Guthrie in the spot light as bad law enforcement officers. Shame on you Mr. Little… our officers place their lives on the line every day of the week protecting us from the likes of you and Joe Warren!
Mr. Little you too are a “Stain upon the fabric of Texas” Sir! Between you Sir and the reporter from the Cleveland Advocate, both of you have destroyed all faith in the District Attorney’s Office for the good people of Liberty County.
There are a many issues being raised by friends of the Little Cartel. Coming soon, The Outsiders plan to address misc. media issues regarding the Joe Warren arrest and demonstrate how the much of the local media connects to the Little Cartel. But for now, we can address these few issues:
Per KSHN RADIO on THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 2011:
Liberty County Assistant District Attorney Joe Warren was arrested and charged yesterday with tampering with a witness, terroristic threats, and deadly conduct. However, the Liberty County Sheriff’s Department would not release any information on what these charges stem from. Information we have gathered indicates the charges stem from an incident in April 2010 when two dogs killed the Warren family pet. Allegations are Mr. Warren displayed a gun when the neighbor came onto his property. However, according to Liberty Police Chief Billy Tidwell, he was within his rights under Texas Law. The Liberty Police Department investigated the incident at the time. No charges or complaints were filed with Liberty PD. Who filed the complaint with the Liberty County Sheriffs Department is unknown at this time.Yes, there are many legal reasons why the Sheriff's Office is remaining quiet at this time. However, the public rarely gets such an opportunity to study the difference between the current Liberty County DA and those who work in concert with him and the current Liberty County Sheriff and those who work to uphold the law and protect them from harms way. The newly released court records above shed some light onto the original dog incident and paint a very different picture than what the media gives us. Please feel free to read through the motions in the case. It will bring many aspects of the story to life. Evidence indicates that it was Joe Warren's Boxer dog that first dug the hole between the adjacent yards and attacked a puppy on the Strawn's property. Eventually, the Strawn's two pit-bull dogs attacked the boxer and the boxer returned to Joe Warren's home thru the hole he dug and died. The allegations in the court records also show more than “Mr. Warren displayed a gun when the neighbor came onto his property.” So, when Police Chief Billy Tidwell says that “The Liberty Police Department investigated the incident at the time and Mr. Warren was within his rights under Texas Law.” When we consider the additional facts now available, we can avoid jumping to conclusions and it becomes apparent why “No charges or complaints were filed with Liberty PD.” We must ask the following question, if you were in the Strawn family position with limited means and a husband who was prosecuted by the DA in the past, going up against Joe Warren and knowing all of the above within this report, would you or I trust the City of Liberty Police Chief Billy Tidwell to do the right thing? Our answer is not on your life!
The Outsiders look forward to the Cleveland Advocate showing documents proving Deputy Louis Guthrie violated any law within the State of Texas while working for the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. The Outsiders believe Vanesa can’t produce any documents at all… nothing but obfuscations like her friend Mike Little. One other point to be made here folks… Vanesa has never talked bad about the police doing their duty while at the same time taking sides with the person criminally charged by a Judge!
Yes, Liberty County is celebrating their Independence from tyranny today.
Have a Happy 4th of July,
THE OUTSIDERS
