    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Lance Owens - Bristol Tennessee

Yes, GREAT job to everyone!

All the way back to the very first Board of Inquiry post about him on 3/26/14 by Dennis Blankenship until now, lots of work from lots of people.

Robert. It took a lot of cooperation from the reptile community to put Lance in his place. I take nothing away from everyone who participated and thank them all! I hope Mike comes here to extend some gratitude. That being said, you were Gen. Patton in this campaign and thank you for all you've done as well as the troops. I have been here long enough to see the majority of the patrons here that are left still fighting the good fight after weeding out the bad. Perhaps King Rich will knight theme Sir Robert among his servants. 👑
 
I think its great he was finally caught...but someone help me read this for his arrest stuff. I looked at the Bristol arrest records displayed above...his violation of probation says his arrest was on 6/21/14 and his meth charge was on 6/21/14 as well. None show his recent arrests correct?
 
You are correct Megan. The link provided by Melinda is a possible place where some day his arrest may eventually show up. Everything is fairly recent and if the site functions like a lot of govt. sites, it may be a while before anything appears related to his most recent arrest. The link listed is to Bristol VA court. Not 100% sure that is the court he will go through either.
 
Great Job Robert putting this all together! Thanks to everyone else that helped contribute as well. This is a great example of the true power of the reptile community. I sure hope they get what they have coming to them. Kudos!
 
Here's the info, but it says he was transferred.

I have a hunch Jessica is still active and continuing. It would be a shame for that poor child of theirs to have both parents in jail. Eventually it's going to catch up to her as well.

I am not sure which is worse for the long-term societal adjustment of the child. Being raised in the custody of a potentially rough system or being raised under the direct authority of a person or people who may directly provide a series of criminal imprints (surely by example if not perhaps by instruction). The chances for becoming a productive above-board society member could actually be worse in the custody of the child's parents, although I strongly dislike even thinking this because of the way some people could run wild with the idea.
 
I may have missed this, is Lance being held on a probation violation? Or charges that deal with his scamming of reptiles? Ill go back and read again.

Any updates?

No updates Chris. I kind of needed a break for a while from this whole thing, it starts draining you if you let it. Since he got arrested, I personally have wiped my hands of it and let the police take it from there. I don't know what charges they actually arrested him on (probation, reptiles or what), I am just glad he knows it was all of us that caused it to happen.

I did receive a nice message from Mindy Foster, his cousin, who's name he used as an alias. She said thank you to us all for letting her know what was going on and that she read the whole thread.

That's all I know. Sooner I forget the name Lance Owens the better, unless he is foolish enough to surface again and then Team Fauna kicks back into action.
 
Robert, I know it has been said but I want to say it again.

I have read through all the posts related to this, went through all the links, and stayed updated with this throughout.

As this whole thing unraveled for Lance, there was one thing we all saw without fail. You.

The amount of diligence you put into this only goes to show how you feel about our community and that you are an active force in keeping it healthy. You have been nothing less than a star throughout this entire ordeal.

I know others were involved, but you were the direction. It honors me that you are willing to devote this much time and effort into helping this community.

I salute you. If you ever need any help with ANYTHING shoot me a message and I will be glad to assist however possible. I think I speak for a majority when I say that you have earned both our respect and our trust.

Thank you.
 
Thank you Bradley for taking the time to write your post, I appreciate it greatly. The power of "thank you" is incredible, I will have a great rest of my day regardless of what happens now, so thank you to you!

Next time we all find ourselves facing another Lance Owens, we will be sure to take you up on your offer to help too!
