judge kent north

I was wondering if anyone knows if north and the lawyer duggen was arrested for embezzelment? I live out of state now and that is what I was told and wondering if it was true

no, haven't heard of this. has not made the local news at all, pelierchick, if it DID happen, and this is something that would make the news - they can't hide a Judge being arrested - they would HAVE to report it. at least, the Blade would if the smaller papers didn't.

I just read your post, and have met both of them. They seem like scammers, so I asked my husband and he is pretty sure it is true. They pretty much just set me up today in court.

I have heard about this.. Heard that Judge North was tried in a court in Toledo. Also heard that not only was lawyer duggan involved but also Rhonda Fisher.
Heard that they are trying to keep this hush hush that is why nothing was put in the local paper.

I would like to know who I can contact, I had a case that was taken care of prior to a court hearing, but still had to go and although it was taken care of I still had to pay a crap load of fines. So I am wondering exactly how how they were embezzling.Reply to montpelierguy

The reason no one is posting any proof of this is because it is not true. There is no way this would have escaped our local news paper and North is not that big of a figure in our county to keep it out of the papers. As for Duggan, well he is a not the best lawyer out there and who knows if he would have done something wrong.

To montpelierguy...you still have to pay court costs and fees even a case is settled before the hearing date...that is how it is.

I heard the embezzlement rumors also. I also heard his mom was running a sweat shop out of the basement of her home, and his son was a pimp, complete with feather in his hat. I also heard from a friend of a friend's mothers cousins college roommate from their sophmore year that his wife runs an illegal meth lab out in Melbern, but that the Mayor was involved and that is why everything is hush hush.

Considering that most of the handles on here are related to Montpelier, I now realize the abundance of stupidity to this thread. C'mon people, think about it for a little. Someone would have reported this! I knew 'pelier people were were not the sharpest tools in the shed, but this about takes the cake.

Anyone who reads this comment should just OVERLOOK it.. This person absolutely makes no sense not suprising since it is written by "People Are Stupid"
must be a self description...

In response to the rumors of Judge North, Paul Duggan and Rhonda Fisher being involved in embezzleing of money, please quit repeating stories that are false and untrue. There has been no embezzlement, arrest and conviction. Put this thing to rest. Quit relying on someone told me and I heard and go find out for yourself. Go to the courthouse or go ask the Judge himself to find out the truth. Quit being stupid!!!!

Wow! I would say some people need to learn about sarcasm...Did you read my post? Do you honestly think his mother is running an illegal sweat shop and all the other fabrications within the post? Wow! You are a sharp one!

BTW...you can get a definition of sarcasm by using the link below.

Once again, the last comment posted on Sept. 24, 2009, condemns the system and throws in generalities. Why not try to work to change the system?

That would require people to actually do something about their issues, rather than complain. And one thing I have noticed in Williams County, is that people would rather talk than perform action.

Boy I would have to say that anybody that thinks people are ignorant for wanting to know how the government is stealing their money are a bunch of jackass's. If you watch the news Obama is stealing our money, our kids' money, and probably on down the list for a very very long time. I think its great that people get involved with what our government is doing. If we don't they are going to take over everything and we will eventually not have any rights. If it's not true about Judge North why doesn't he make a statement because you know he has to hear the rumors going on about him and if it was me I would definitely want to clear that up.

In response to the idiotic remarks from "People are Stupid", with their broad generalizations primarily focused at persons from Montpelier, I must ask, are you for real? Why would you find it so ridiculous that local politicians/government officials could be involved in scandal? Furthermore, in an area this size, is it hard to believe it would be hidden from the public? Please, fool, stay in Toledo, if that is where you are from. It is people like you that make it so easy for politicians/government officials to commit ridiculous and unethical acts, at the price of some of its citizens.

I don't know about the embezzelment claim, on Judge north and the others but I do know that the system doesn't work and that it is true Judge North, Rhonda Fischer and other lawyers are working together to screw people. The law here is not about fact or the truth but rather about money and the stature these individuals have it is more important for them to prosecute than it is to get the facts and find the truth. before every hearing these individuals meet and decide the outcomes of peoples cases before the people are even there and present their side of the matter. I won't name names specifically other than one lawyer who we all know my advise DO Not Use This Lawyer John Schaffer

Hmmm...interesting concept, and I do agree that it is great that people would want to get involved with the government but...spreading unconfirmed lies and spreading rumors is not a way to get involved.

Now, if Judge North were to issue a statement, just how many people would actually: 1) believe it, and 2)just claim it is another lie by an elected politician? Considering the majority would fall into both categories, why would Judge North need to issue a statement denouncing lies? Last I knew you were innocent until proven guilty in this country, and last I checked, I see no guilt.

Why yes, I am for real. I get up every morning and put my pants on one leg at a time. And no, I do not find it ridiculous that local politicians could be involved in scandal as it does happen all the time. What I do find ridiculous is that there is no attempt at fact when discussing the serious allegations in this thread.

For example, you infer that with an area the size of Bryan and the surrounding villages, would it be hard for me to believe that embezzlement (as accused in these threads) from the Judge, City Prosecutor and others would stay hidden? Yes, I do find that hard to believe. An issue like this, in today's political climate, would be gold for discussion in the local papers and blogs. And yet, I again see no evidence of anything. Did you know that if they were indeed tried and convicted in Toledo or any other city for that matter, there would be public record? Did you know that if they were arrested (which would have to be done first in order to try someone), there would be public record? All you have to do is either look it up on the internet, or go to the local hall of municipal records and look it up. I would suggest people try that prior to stating rumors and innuendo.

Yes I did show generalizations towards individuals from Montpelier. This was based upon the fact that the original handles of the individuals posting on this thread indicated they were from the Montepelier area. As I continue to research and review these accusations, I have discovered that many of them come from individuals from...yep, you guessed it, MONTPELIER!

Finally, I was partially hurt that you called me a fool. But then, I decided I needed to review the definition of fool. According to www.dictionary.net , a fool is defined as:

1) One destitute of reason, or of the common powers of
understanding; an idiot; a natural

- Nope, I am a fairly intelligent individual who is well
educated

2) A person deficient in intellect; one who acts absurdly, or
pursues a course contrary to the dictates of wisdom; one
without judgment; a simpleton; a dolt

- I would say I have pretty good judgement, and I am
definately not deficient in intellect

3) One who acts contrary to moral and religious wisdom; a wicked
person

- Hmmm...you may be onto something because I have,
unfortunately, acted contrary to moral and religious wisdom

4) One who counterfeits folly; a professional jester or buffoon;
a retainer formerly kept to make sport, dressed fantastically
in motley, with ridiculous accouterments

- Well, you got me on that one. I have been known to convey
folly and act like a jester around friends and family.
I guess I am a fool. Thank you for pointing this out.

I don't think I enable elected officials to steal, cheat and conive the general public. I do my research and make these allegations when I have proof rather than proceeding along with rumors and unproven allegations.

I like your spirit Amy. I think you and I could be friends.

Again, may I ask for facts? Proof?

If they discussed the matter prior to people being there, why did the people go along with it? I can only assume the people hired an attorney who negotiated a plea bargain. However, you do not have to agree with the plea if you do not want to. You can request a new lawyer/public attorney if you feel your current one is not working in your best interest.

People control the final outcome in regards to facts and truth.
