This is the most current information as of July 5, 2025.
This is yard art #1.
On the left is former Alderman and Vice Mayor Louise “The Mad Queen” Povlin.
In the middle is current Vice Mayor and Alderman Scott Meyer. He had a proposal to have 10 foot wide lanes at a major intersection in Farragut. It was a bad idea and thus the parody.
On the right is Farragut Mayor Ron “The Felon” Williams. He repeatedly campaigned inside the polling location at Farragut City Hall, made false statements in a police report against me, made up a story that I tried to run him over with my van (video of the incident is in the article below), posted a re-election sign at a booth Farragut taxpayers paid for, and illegally tried to obtain my IP address, and as I understand obtained the IP addresses of 2 Farragut residents.
Farragut Mayor Ron Williams Violated Election Law to Win Re-Election in 2022
Ron’s politician photo shows him wearing the Coloniel Sanders bow-tie. The handcuffs are a spot on parody of that.
This yard art got me taken to Farragut court.
Some how Farragut was able to get a Knox County Sheriff’s Deputy to personally serve me. They are supposed to be via mail. The deputy, Scott Taylor, showed up to my home in an unmarked car and out of uniform multiple times during the day. This occurred after I received a death threat in the mail. See below.
Eventually he came in the morning and illegally blocked my driveway and stopped my wife from leaving. I believe Mr. Taylor was ordered to do this. Civil summons are supposed to be mailed, not delivered by law enforcement. This was one of many terroristic acts of intimidation.
We ended up in Farragut Court in July 2023.
Key highlights of the kangaroo court:
Before I could enter, I was unlawfully searched for weapons, which was unprecendented in Farragut court. The judge and Farragut City Attorney Tom Hale were not searched.
Farragut City Attorney Tom Hale admitted I did not violate the ordinance I was summoned to court on. Hale claimed I violated the ordinance only allowing 1 6 sq ft sign for a temporary parcel sign per property. A parcel sign depicts and event or an activity such as bake sale, graduation, etc.
Farragut employee, now former, Holley Marlowe, testified that
She drove by my home 35 times in 90 days. She claimed a local realtor stated I cost him/her a sale because of my yard art. No evidence nor was this person produced to be cross examined.
Corrupt City Attorney Tom Hale started in the hearing to argue that I violated a different ordinance. This is illegal as I have to know what I am being accused of and have time to mount a defense.
Corrupt Farragut Judge G. Keith Alley allowed this violation of due process. Alley then declared me guilty, even after hearing Tom Hale state I did not violate the ordinance I was summoned to court on. He then fined me over $1,800. Article VI, Section 14 of the TN Constitution prohibits fines over $50 without a jury trial. Alley never signed a final order, which makes the rest of what
happened after also illegal.
Next comes the appeal to Knox County Court, where I land Jerome Melson. By the time this was to go in front of him, February 2024, we filed a First Amendment retaliation suit Murphy v Farragut (will be discussed in a later episode). We removed jurisdiction from Tennessee and moved it to federal court.
Melson and Tom Hale held the hearing anyways and Melson ruled against me.
In September 2024, Hale sued me again. This time trying to get a court order to tear down what was then four yard arts ( Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are posted below).
Hale this time had Judge Heagerty. Hale again tried to hold a hearing without myself nor my lawyer present. We sent in another attorney who shut this down.
After this, someone in Farragut, likely Administrator David Smoak, sent the illegal yard art fines to collections. The collection agency reported me to credit bureaus. All of this is also illegal. The collections was only sent on me, despite there being two owners of the property.
As of July 5, 2025, all of this was turned over to the Knox County District Attorney’s Office and there has been zero follow up by them.
Stay tuned. More to be released in the future.
