I was permitted today to post this. Please read this in full and respond.
Scott Hudnall was arrested over 3 months ago. The charge...breaking and entering into HIS OWN FURNITURE STORE. The landlord had not legally filed the paperwork to evict him and he had been told by the local authorities to go in and get his stuff out. He did and while he was the same deputies he was told to call if he had any problems came and arrested them. The land lord stated that he had been evicted and was breaking into the store...which is a lie. So you will know, Scott had taken over a furniture store chain that was in financial dissarray beyond what he could have ever understood and was trying to work through it and get the wheels turning as he had done for other stores.
Upon his arrest, a tv news crew posted a story that made him look like a criminal and people who had ordered furniture but not yet received it began to panic. Soon they were accusing him of stealing their money. Most of the people who made the accusations were actually lay-away situations who had only paid $100. Didn't matter. The scene in St Bernard Parish (devasted by Katrina) is bleak. Due to the extreme amount of scams done by businesses (mostly fake contractors) they imprison 1st and ask questions later.
Scott was placed in St Bernard Jail, and has yet to see his day. His lawyer copped out. He has all of the proof necessary to prove the allegations of being a con are wrong. The arresting officers admitted they never actually saw the legal eviction documents (they were never filed) but the judge refuses to hear it. The judge told Scott's lawyer that he didn't want to hear any more about it and Scott's lawyer has all but disappeared and assessed Scott's bail at $300,000.00!!! The lawyer has missed court dates etc and they want to lock Scott up for 6-8 years...and he is innocent. It is ridiculous.
To add insult to injury, Scott's wife, Ruth (http://www.mychurch.org/hudnalls) has been staying in Indiana to keep their other store open and try to maintain finances to get Scott out so he can get the case resolved. However, the landlord of that store heard of Scott's situation, and illegally evicted Ruth. It has been almost a month since she has been able o do anything. There is no money...and hope is dissolving. Ruth had a court date today (countersuit) with a lawyer who said he would defend her for free taking off the top of the reward but at the court changed his mind and told her she would have to pay a retainer and that she should probably find another lawyer.
The judge ruled today that Ruth could get in the store and get her personal belongings and the paperwork out. He will review what has been done and make a decision Monday to whether or not Ruth can be allowed to get back in the store and resume business.
In all of this, the prison that Scott has landed in does not allow outside ministry to the prisoners. Scott has been holding Bible studies and preaching just about every day. Ruth has been in fellowship with some believers in Indiana but they are newly weds (less than one year) and it is tough.
They both gave me permission to post this so I have some requests from you guys
1) Please pray for Ruth and Scott
a) favor with the judge and district attorney in St Bernard parish
b) favor with the judge and landlord in Indiana and that Ruth can get back to the business
c) the truth of what has happened will surface and liars and criminals will be exposed
d) Scott is released back to his family and this ends
2) People of God, please contact Ruth http://www.mychurch.org/hudnalls
She needs prayer and encouragement. She is alone and that is a nightmare. She needs the body of believers to embrace her and wrap her in.
Thanks |

Thankyou Robin. Please continue in them. This is a serious matter.
Restore, thanks for the response and thanks for visiting Ruth. When the Christians in America finally begin to taste the suffering the church is suppose to embrace for Christ, we will be glad we have "loved on eachother." All too often we want the excitement without the agony |

Christian Businesses are planted in the market place so that we are the witnesses in the Market place. God will never allow satan and his team to vandalise Christian Businesses - wherever they are. In Jesus' precious name WE ( as fellow belivers) pray that situations would change right now! Amen. |

Thank you guys, I will. Please do contact her if you haven't

It is hard to believe that here in the US this stuff could happen but with the way things are in St Bernard parish (county for you foreigners) still not recovered from the storm, the sheriffs department has all call and will not admit mistakes.
Sickening is the fact that the parish leaders accompanied him to the store aloong with his attorney and that the eviction wasn't filed until the next week. But the Sheriffs department has threatened all of them to not testify or they will also be arrested...and the sick thing is they are complying b/c no one is here to balance their authority. Please pray and continue
Thanks to all of you |

Somehow or another his bail has been cut in half. They claimed there were "well over 50" charges from customers and now that number is down to 19.
God is doing something. |
|
|
| March 05, 2008 |
|
|
|
| Excellent...they need to drop the charges and that is what we are believing for |
|

| Scott said he had someone look into his file at the Sheriff's dept and no one can make heads or tails of it. This says alot about the whole situation. There are now two teams of people looking into all this. |

|
|
| Good...I hope they do right by Scott and realize and take ownership of the horrific thing they have done to you two |

Wow... like I came online tonight to just basically look for some answers in some job/work/possible legal stuff in my life, and I found this post through Cheryl requesting prayers. Please don't think I'm making this about me and my (relatively small problems) I do believe God guided me to come on here tonight to help me with perspective, and to remind me that there are others who, in the face of far worse circumstances, still try to reach out to others about the Kingdom of God. These people are strangers to me, but brothers and sisters in Christ, and I am praying for them and asking the Lord to clear their names, their legal issues, and keep them in His embrace. |

| Father, I come into Your Holy presence with praise and thanksgiving, giving you the glory for what you will do here concerning this situation. I ask for mercy and favor in this case, Your Word says that all of the exceeding great and precious promises which we have inherited in Your Son's name are all yes and amen, thus I ask according to the mighty power that works in me that You have your way here--let no man disannul what You have bound together in Holiness, You have destroyed the works of darkness, and satan is defeated and I come into agreement with the prayers of my fellow saints in the Name above all names, Jesus the Annointed King of Kings to whom be glory and honor and power and blessing forever. Father, I petition Your Holy and Just court in the name of Jesus that this request be heard and received, because You are a merciful God who is worthy of all praise and you watch over Your Word to perform it, and have given to us the Spirit of Adoption so I cry Abba Father please hear these prayers for Your beloved children, and make a way where there is no way, we are above only and not beneath and I confess your All Powerful Holy Word, that this day I choose to speak life and freedom over this family, bind any and all hindering spirits and spiritual principalities of darkness who have come against this family and loose them from thier assignments against this family by the authority in the Name of Jesus Christ who I am seated with in the heavenly realms and complete in. Thank you Jesus, I stand in awe of You and bow in Your Holy presence and praise You for the answered prayers in this case which I stand united with in Your Power and Love. |

Sorry Juan, I wouldn't believe it if I were not from here...but it is true. St Bernard Parish (Louisiana's word for county) is becoming well known for this in the area. Most contractors are refusing to work within the borders causing a huge delay in rebuilding from Katrina b/c they arrest business owners here without question and hold them as long as possible blackmailing them to get a conviction...I won't work in there...
And it wasn't tresspassing, they had to drop that charge (although that was the original arresting charge) but to keep him they were able to drum up some other false charges...people here panick and will accuse before question |
