"WHITEFISH - The Montana Department of Revenue is trying to revoke the Blue Moon Nite Club's liquor license because of allegations that seven bartenders served alcohol to an intoxicated patron who later caused a car wreck that killed a 19-year-old woman.
The fatal crash happened early in the morning on Feb. 12, 2010 on U.S. Highway 2 in Columbia Falls, about one mile south of the Blue Moon. Lakeisha Thibault, of Eureka, was killed in the wreck and 29-year-old Tyrone Stallcup was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide while under the influence.
In May 2010, Stallcup pleaded no contest to the felony charge and was eventually sentenced to 20 years in the Montana State Prison with 10 years suspended. The Columbia Falls resident told the judge he could not remember anything about the crash and was in an alcohol-induced blackout."
An investigation by Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Glen Barcus revealed that Stallcup had been drinking at the Blue Moon from about 7:30 p.m. until the crash occurred, and that the establishment's employees took no precautions to limit patrons' drinking or to prevent them from driving.
Trooper Barcus reviewed video footage from the bar on the evening of the crash and observed "intoxicated patrons, including some that had difficulty stumbling around the bar, that were served alcoholic beverages at every request," without regard to their condition.
Ultimately, seven bartenders were cited for serving alcohol to an intoxicated person - including owners Richard and Charlotte Sapa - and all have pleaded not guilty. Additional proceedings in the criminal case, which is filed in Flathead County Justice Court, have been repeatedly continued at the behest of attorney George Best, who is representing the Blue Moon in the criminal case as well as the revocation proceedings. An omnibus hearing is scheduled in the criminal case for Jan. 21.
The allegations in the criminal case led officials from the state Department of Revenue to file a notice of revocation against the Blue Moon in September, but attorneys emphasized that the two cases are independent of one another. A notice of revocation results in a civil proceeding with no bearing on the criminal case.
"We received this information from the Flathead County Attorney's Office and it's based on the same factual situation - that the bartenders sold alcohol to an intoxicated person - but ours is a separate proceeding," Michael Lawlor, an attorney with the Revenue Department, said.
The case is still in its early stages, Lawlor said, and could either settle or proceed to a hearing before an examiner appointed by the Department of Revenue. A settlement would preclude the need for such a hearing, which is similar to a bench trial. Settlement could also result in a penalty less severe than revocation, such as allowing the licensee to sell the liquor license to another buyer.
"I won't even hazard to guess how this case might be resolved," Lawlor said.
The Blue Moon's liquor license is owned by Dick and Charlotte Sapa, who live in Columbia Falls and are the principal owners of Dick Char Inc. Reached by telephone at her home, Charlotte Sapa declined to comment on the case, saying she needed first to speak with her attorney.
Stallcup is currently serving out his sentence at the Montana State Prison. In sentencing the man, Flathead District Judge Stewart Stadler recommended that Stallcup be placed in an intensive drug and alcohol treatment program during the suspended portion of his term.
Stallcup had a blood-alcohol concentration of .27 at the time of the crash, more than three times the legal limit.
His pickup sideswiped Thibault's Subaru when he tried passing the woman at a high speed and lost control of his vehicle. The impact caused both vehicles to roll into a ditch, and both drivers were ejected. Thibault was killed at the scene when her vehicle rolled on top of her.
Stallcup also suffered injuries in the crash, including a broken pelvis, hip and shoulder, and a collapsed lung.
On the night of the crash three patrons at the bar argued with Stallcup in the parking lot and asked him not to drive. A designated driver volunteered to drive his pickup truck but he refused.

Kashmir Hill of Forbes Defends White Collar Crimes and Attacks Messenger. Kashmir Hill defends Kevin Padrick, as Kashmir Hill Does NO Real Research into the "Complicated Story". Kashmir Hill Forbes.
Kashmir Hill of Forbes is simply telling a tiny part of the story and with great discrimination. Kashmir Hill seems to want to protect the crimes against victims in the US Bankruptcy courts and Kashmir Hill has not even researched the real ethics, behavior, lawsuits, business dealings of Kevin Padrick or of Obsidian Finance Group. Kashmir Hill needs to look deeper or Kashmir Hill should have simply stayed out of this battle of wits she is obviously unarmed at. See Kashmir Hill has not dug deep as David Carr of the New York Times Claims. Kashmir Hill has simply listened to the word of the "bad guy" and shot the messenger per say with seemingly no accountability. Or even a drive to find the REAL STORY.
Kashmir Hill's Forbes Article Said "After a failed attempt to get the Oregon Attorney General to investigate Cox, Obsidian filed a defamation case in January 2011, and Padrick first met Cox on the first day of the trial."
Kashmir Hill wrote this right after she posted an email accusing me of extortion, which is criminal and I have not had criminal charges against me. Kashmir Hill has ruined my reputation in defending Kevin Padrick's, does this make sense?
Kashmir Hill has no liability for the damage she has cause me? Did Kashmir Hill contact the Oregon Attorney General or simply take the word of Kevin Padrick whom many have legal and ethical issue with (http://www.kevinpadrick.com/) ?
Kashmir Hill said this just after posting an email from January 19th of 2011. So is Kashmir Hill claiming that Kevin Padrick tried to get the Oregon Attorney General to investigate an email sent to his attorney AFTER he filed the lawsuit? Kashmir Hill says in the Forbes article that the Plaintiff filed the lawsuit after trying to get the Oregon Attorney General to Investigative Me. So what was Kevin Padrick trying to get the Oregon Attorney General to investigate, when the Email she posted was sent AFTER the Lawsuit was Filed. Does this make ANY logical sense to Kashmir Hill ?
In context the email was sent as a Reply to a cease and desist, and was sent AFTER the lawsuit was filed, and between two attorneys, as I represented myself. And there were emails back and forth. All this IGNORED by the Irresponsible Journalism of Kashmir Hill.
Does Kashmir Hill have any investigating ability? What Kevin Padrick told her does not add up, and with so many others with issue regarding Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance Group why would the Oregon Attorney General not investigate Kevin Padrick or Obsidian Finance Group? Why does Kashmir Hill not investigate Kevin Padrick or Obsidian Finance Group?
So much money, so many victims and Kashmir Hill of Forbes focuses on an Email between the Plaintiff's attorney and me, a Pro Se Blogger trying to "Negotiate" with the Plaintiff's attorney, after a cease and desist so broad and vague, and after a lawsuit was filed. Kashmir Hill is seriously negligent, flat out wrong and her post does not make sense to a rational mind that actually researches the story.
Yet, sadly most do not research the facts, documents, videos, depositions of the story and instead simply believe Kashmir Hill and not me. Kashmir Hill has not investigated this story for 3 years, I have. Kashmir Hill has no clue of the real story, yet Kashmir Hill jumps in with conclusions, accusations and harms me in every way and with NO accountability.
Obsidian Finance Group lost a loan due to what I posted, thing is I posted links to proof and the bank VP never contacted me, there was lots of information online about the story, and yet I was blamed when it was not my story. I simply picked up the story and ran with it.
This story is huge, and the defamation accusation is false really. Obsidian Finance Group did not prove they lost one penny regarding this post and yet was awarded 2.5 million dollars. It makes not sense, yet Kashmir Hill does not look into any of this. Kashmir Hill simply believes what the Zillionaires tell her to believe.
If Kashmir Hill did her homework she would see that there is lots more to all this. For example, I am "affiliated" with a book, I have been writing for years and most have not published, however I have lots of ISBN numbers and 2 books registered with Bowker. I started a Publishing Company in 1996 and I have had other publications publish my writings. I am more of an investigator then Kashmir Hill , that is a FACT. And I am truly independent. Kashmir Hill has not looked into any of this and Kashmir Hill simply takes the hearsay of one Man and his Attorney, which is certainly NOT investigative reporting.
Kashmir Hill says, "... but a trial by jury found that her claims were false, and found her guilty of defamation." Where does this come from? Does Kashmir Hill understand that it was the Opinion of One Oregon CPA, paid by the Plaintiff that the Jury had to go on to find me "guilty"?
Kashmir Hill of Forbes quotes Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group in say “She has decimated my business. It’s half of what it was,” says Padrick. “She’s ruined my reputation, my life.” the TRUTH is all I did was turn on a light in the room the bad things were happening in. I did not make up that information, and I provided proof of my source and the Judge would not allow this information into the Trial. Kashmir Hill does not want the real story, but Kashmir Hill instead simply wants to make me look bad instead of printing the real facts of the case.
Kashmir Hill Says "A reminder here: she wasn’t able to prove at trial that what she had written was true. Do we really want to claim this person as one of our own, folks?" Thing is in no way is Kashmir Hill like me. See I read documents, depositions, watch videos of the parties at meetings, talk to many insiders and for years. And Kashmir Hill just posts some jaded version of the story to shoot the messenger per say.
nstead Kashmir Hill should has why I was unable to prove at trial that what I wrote was true to the best of my ability? See Kashmir Hill is NOT looking for the TRUTH but instead Kashmir Hill is looking to Defame Me, punish me, even though a Judge Jury already has. And I never asked to be called "your own", I have been investigating corruption and speaking out for over 6 years and it has changed my life in every way. Death Threats, Set Up by Judges, Stalked, Lied about, Harassed and all ignored by the Cops, Judges, FBI, State and Federal Prosecutors.
Obsidian Finance Group is really one of the smallest stories I write about. Kashmir Hill is certainly not one of "your own". See the bloggers, whistleblowers that I know, they do their homework, they have proof, documentation and experience extreme harassment and duress as they expose corruption. See the bloggers that are like me, they face economic terrorism, cps threatens them, judges set them up, they are sued and starved out, threatened of death and more ...All because they dare to blog about what is really happening to them, or people they know. Bloggers do this with back up, video, documents and not just posting hearsay and agenda. Most of the time bloggers such as I am that expose real corruption, are not paid to expose this corruption and instead make money other ways from their blogs, ads or selling other product. This way the story is pure and the ad dollars and politics does not control why they expose. Bloggers are more credible as news then Forbes, New York Times, Fox, big media and certainly more credible then the yammerings of Kashmir Hill.
See I have been in this for 3 years, and I know tons about it. Kashmir Hill took the word of the Plaintiff and ran a story, an attack against me with no base in real facts of this 3 year long story.
Kashmir Hill says, "This has led to a slew of angry stories, pointing out that bloggers are journalists. But these stories have not dug deeply enough. The facts in the case are far more complicated, and after hearing them, most journalists will not want to include Cox in their camp." Crystal L. Cox, Investigative Blogger says YES this case is far more complicated and it is not about ONE email between a Pro Se Defendant Blogger and a Plaintiff's attorney. This story is 3 years deep and has thousands of pages of documents, depositions, emails, and back story that needs to be researched before opening one's mouth as Kashmir Hill has done. And I never asked "journalists' to include me in their "camp", that is just lame.
I do wish that Journalists, Investigative Reporters, Bloggers, and ALL would investigate Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance Group and bring justice to those they have harmed by presenting the FACTS instead of simply shooting the messenger. However, it seems that most believe what they are told by big media and do not dig deeper. Kashmir Hill is simply clueless on the TRUTH about Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance Group. And she seems to have no accountability or remorse for inciting a riot against me, essentially accusing me of the crime of extortion with no background information, not looking at dates the lawsuit was filed and well not even digging into the story but simply jumping to the defense of a white collar criminal and attacking someone who is trying to expose corruption and help people. I had no personal vendetta, I did not know Kevin Padrick, I had no money involved, I was simply getting the victims story found.
Kashmir Hill sure is naive and gullible. It Seems that Kashmir Hill did not look into anything that Kevin Padrick told her but instead just believed whatever he spewed out of his lying, evil mouth.
Kashmir Hill's article said,
"Obsidian’s tech team found dozens of sites that appeared to have been created by Cox to write about Obsidian, says Padrick, and over 1,900 others that she had created to write about other people and companies. This is not the work of a journalist, but the work of someone intent on destroying reputations."
This is just ridiculous, they have no idea what I do, or why and this tech team has no clue as to what is really going on. And to take Kevin Padrick's words as to why I supposedly have sites, without posting my version of why I have the sites or even reading my sites, Kashmir Hill just goes along with what Kevin Padrick says??? Really??
I have sites on my several businesses, sites on alternative energy, sites on alternative medicine and healing, sites supporting gay and lesbians, sites on real estate, sites on cancer and many other topics and my corruption sites are not the majority of my sites, and when I write on the bad guys, ya I go to the top of the search engines.
However, I did not destroy their reputation, they did this long before I showed up, I simply got the victims they created found as I am amazing at search engine placement and gave this as a gift to victims. Kashmir Hill has no clue as to what I do or why.
Kashmir Hill's article said,
Yes Kashmir Hill it has been three years, and I got a bankruptcy whistleblower blog found. They had problems with Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group and with David Aman of Tonkon Torp and I got them heard, found in the search engines. I did not create the story, it WAS and IS .. not my Story.. Kashmir Hill has no clue the real back story, the breach of contract, the lies, the unethical behavior of Kevin Padrick... and Kashmir Hill is not about to dig deep, but instead naively believes a Zillionaire that makes Millions a Year off of other people's demise and all the while lies to and bullies his own clients, so that he can prey on their life's work. DO YOUR HOMEWORK and STOP focusing on the messenger, I am Telling the TRUTH about the Dirty Rotten Scoundrel Kevin Padrick, Attorney and his Attorney David Aman. Also note about the Forbes article, and seemingly Kashmir Hill are only letting in negative comments about me.
Several people have told me that they posted positive comments on Forbes on work I had done for them, and Forbes rejected these comments. Seems that Forbes simply wants to discredit the messenger. I have commented to try and correct errors and my comments have been denied. Kashmir Hill has me owning sites that I don't own. The Errors of Kashmir Hill of Forbes is shocking and she does nothing to correct them, even though she knows the facts and has a fancy editor.
There is a comment on the Forbes Article I want to Comment on.. it says this..
"Truth would have been a defense, but the burden was on the other side. Instead, Cox even failed to show that she had a good faith reason to believe the statements were true. Apparently neither the jury nor the judge believed that her secret source was real." ~ I want to clarify. I never claimed a Secret Source at the Trial. I brought over 500 pages of documentations of my source, and of good faith reason. The judge said it was hearsay and it was not allowed. http://www.obsidianfinancesucks.com/2011/12/in-obsidian-v-cox-i-provided.html
If you cannot read the document, email me at Crystal@CrystalCox.com
If you want the facts, find them. If you don't care enough to dig deep then don't simply believe Kashmir Hill of Forbes or David Carr of the New York Times.
Kashmir Hill is not telling you, "Nothing but the Truth" Look beyond the one sided rant of Kashmir Hill and find the facts for yourself.

My Experience with John Muhlfeld is that he ruins lives.

John Muhlfeld said this in front of FWP and many other witnesses.
I have witnessed the stream restoration projects that John Muhlfeld of River Design Group was in charge of, rip out ever year due to shoddy work, as John Muhlfeld simply gets more grant money, tax payer dollars to hire his friends to do the same bad job. Also during this project John Muhlfeld disrespected our right to private property. John Muhlfeld let his dogs run thru our house and garage, John Muhlfeld left our livestock gates open and John Muhlfeld had total disrespect as John Muhlfeld acted above the property own and in CHARGE of their property simply because a stream ran thru it.
John Muhlfeld, In my experience is not an honest man, John Muhlfeld is not a man of honor and integrity and John Muhlfeld now running for the Mayor of Whitifish Montana has sparked me to speak out again about my experience with John Muhlfeld of the River Design Group and to post ALL tips I get On John Muhlfeld.

All this to Hide Hamilton Montana Secrets.
Here is the Post that the Police in Ravalli County Montana are so Worried about... What is really here that is so illegally that they are so upset?
Got a Tip?
Crystal@CrystalCox.com
"FIND MY THREAT - Michael Spreadbury, Ravalli County Montana Exposing Montana Corruption.
As promised, the FIND MY THREAT game has arrived.
On November 4, 2009 Michael Spreadbury approached a librarian and asked for help in public. The most intense evil, corruption, and hatred on the planet is incorporated in Hamilton Montana, and throughout the state of Montana which ranks 48 in the lower 48 for Justice (we have no justice--see what we did about it).
A county deputy prosecutor was promoted to work for Steve Bullock, Montana Attorney General in Helena assigned as "special Ravalli County prosecutor" in the case for Ravalli County Attorney George Corn.
A witness, Gavin Ricklefs "recognized" Michael Spreadbury although they never met.
The Librarian swore in court Nov. 20, 2009 that she did not remember anything Spreadbury said to her Nov. 4, 2009 outside the Bitterroot Public Library (witnessed).
[A credible threat must be communicated to reach the level of Felony Intimindation MCA 45-5-203]
The librarian also swore to Hamilton City Judge Michael Reardon that she went to the Hamilton Montana Police by herself---the Hamilton Montana Police report says differently. Reardon made opinion that Spreadbury did not violate any court restrictions at hearing November 20, 2009; in the hearing City Attorney Bell represented the Librarian, in violation of his official duties, known as Official Misconduct MCA 45-7-401 a misdemeanor in Montana.
The Librarian, and library are now being protected by a law firm [Boone Karlberg PC of Missoula, Montana] using fraudulent public funds [public fraud is the #1 CRIMINAL priority of the Federal Bureau of investigation (FBI)]: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate.
View how Boone Karlberg PC won the Montana Supreme Court case for the librarian:
We submitted this information to the RAVALLI REPUBLIC "political officer", and decided to protect the constitutionally criminal, treasonous by not releasing the name of the officer, because it would literally destroy his career, and Michael Spreadbury wants none of that for the guilty pinhead.
Defamation by the Librarian was removed from the Hamilton Montana police report, which is not needed now. Of note, the police report was not signed by a supervisor, which on its face makes it illegitimate. Welcome to Hamilton Montana, and lets get ready to play: FIND MY THREAT.
First an affidavit of facts, proving my innocence using a foreign document in the Ravalli Republic:
THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
 |
sworn at the "Ravalli County Courthouse"--they don't let you do this anymore....hmmm. |
Next is the Bench warrant issued by my girlfriend, Robin "clueless" Clute for $10,000 bail for speaking in public. For those of you who voted for her, buyers remorse:
Next is the information. The affidavit for arrest had ink spots, and this was nearly identical. Now important to note, look for threat to person, place or property, none are here. The definition of Intimidation [MCA45-5-203] is reworded into an information for an arrest "abridging" my right to speak.
Joel Thompson was promoted by Montana Attorney General Bullock for prosecuting someone without probable cause, and in violation of their US, Montana Constitutional rights. Notice also on the page above that $50,000 bail [excessive] was requested by George Corn Ravalli County Attorney through the special prosecutor Joel Thompson.
This violates Spreadbury's 8th Amendment right to reasonable bail, the cause of the 2005 suicides in Ravalli County. See why I am requesting jail time for Bullock, Corn (18 USC s. 242):
(Prosecute Steve Bullock &; George Corn for Negligent Constitutional Deprivations).
The next pages are the NON-REVIEWED police reports from Hamilton Montana PD. Again we kept the officer's name off the report to keep Judge Haynes 21st Montana District Judge happy. The librarian was not a witness to peaceful assembly, protected right in 1st Amendment US Constitution. Spreadbury was asking for help to drop the charge, because it is not a crime to sit on public property peacefully in America. By the way, it is also not a threat to ask for anyone's help without threat in America [free speech].
The librarian told Michael Spreadbury "...she knew how to help him" after they spoke Nov. 4, 2009.
The free speech issue is pending on appeal at the 48th ranked Supreme Court in the continental United States: Helena Montana.
The Hamilton Police feel that the city-owned block containing the Bitterrroot Public Library is private property, so does the former JAG lawyer now Judge Michael Reardon of Hamilton Montana. It is not a crime to sit on public property, just stupid people out doing themselves, and violating their oath to the US Constitution, but affirming the Ravalli Republic where no constitutional rights are given.
The librarian and the "witness" (who pays rent to the librarians EX) say that Spreadbury pulled up at noon on this day. What happens when evidence is brought to prove otherwise, like an email sent from the WIFI in front of the Bitterroot Public Library:
EMAIL TO FILM PRODUCER:
NOVEMBER 4, 2009 from the Bitterroot Public "Library" WIFI
TITLE OF EMAIL:

To iendedup@XXXXXXX.com
Dear Nico,
please add when Nancy Joy Hendrickson shows her deer in the headlights look of guilt: does anyone know that I am sleeping with Dennis Stranger, Planner and Vice Mayor of Hamilton?
conflict of interest, ect.
please edit this movie to be the incendiary bomb that we wanted in August.
(I had no control of content or editing of the "Beneath the Beauty" documentary)
Michael Spreadbury
Maggiesnotebook.com-----------------------------------------
HERE IS THE DOCUMENTARY WE PRODUCED ABOUT MONTANA JUSTICE:
[we captured the truth on how Montana citizens view Justice]
Note: Documentary can be found at http://www.beneaththebeauty.com/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gavin Ricklefs claimed he recognized Spreadbury although they never met. Ricklefs would not know what type of vehicle Spreadbury drove. One more glitch in the "Stranger Story":
Spreadbury had tinted windows in the back of the cab of his Pickup. How could Gavin Ricklefs recognize someone he never met through tinted windows? Something is really fishy about the law enforcement story from the Librarian and Dennis Stranger. The going story in front of the Supreme Court is that Spreadbury stayed in his truck. I bet that a person working across the street would stop their concentrated work activity, recognize a person parked at the Library, although they never met.
Note: For a background on Michael Spreadbury, AND an affidavit of Steve Bullock, Montana Attorney General threat to livilihood see:
Also, if "pumping your fist" is so dangerous, why aren't more people charged with felonies? Lets get this straight, (because the librarian and Ricklefs couldn't) Spreadbury never pumped any fist at a librarian. One said pumped at, the other said pumped in the air. You mean like this:
Roddy was accompanied by Dennis Stranger Hamilton "special projects director". Apparently, charging Spreadbury against constitutional rights was a special project of the City of Hamilton, Montana. Here is a sheet (of 9) where the librarian claimed to Reardon she was alone at the HPD: false swearing to a judge MCA 45-7-202 a misdemeanor (see next exhibit below).
Hamilton Judge Reardon bragged that no finding of fact, rule of law due to Spreadbury, public being too stupid to understand. This violates at minimum Rule 52(a) of Mont. Rule Civil Procedure, due process, right to liberty [here your due process is what you are DUE].
Sidebar: the librarian approached Spreadbury hugged dog 10 days prior to "FEELING THREATENED".
While I did offer a reward to anyone who could bring information that would disbar George Corn of Montana, this proof shows that no threat exists, I thank those who looked through this material, and "played the game". That is all life is in Ravalli County and Montana, a game to the judicial system. Crime is ok if you were married to it, or you are going against an "undesirable" [a non-native person to Montana]. Thats why we call this place MONTANISTAN, the "last best place for justice".
This is what we meant by the Ravalli Republic, due to it not being the American Republic in Hamilton MT.
In 2007 we asked the Montana Congressional delegation for a Congressional Inquiry to Civil Rights in Montana. Melodee Hanes, soon to be Mrs. Baucus gleefully told us "no dice". then moved to DC with Max.
A letter was written to the US President in 2009, the nexus of this encounter was asking for it's placement in the Bitterroot Public Library. By banning it, millions of Americans have wanted to read it and have. If you Google "Letter to the US President", our letter is #1 from Montana under the US White House listings.
So for a group of people who wanted to punish the messenger, the joke is on you. Moral judgment of Ravalli County and Montana from the world readers of our information since 2007.
We the Ordinary People of Montana thank you:
