Virgil and I got to work last night after seeing another Jedidiah spike in the stats, one we eagerly shared with our surveillance fan club after launching our trash and mouse game with city council.
After Virgil helped me apply my hand-carved wooden snake detector we realized something. Maybe people are clicking on this post of mine because they can’t get their Jed fix on Youtube anymore?
I was surprised how long this account was allowed to remain active, considering Jed is the kind of guy that invites a dude to join him on Telegram (me), then deals with HIS obvious butthurt when I turned him down by targeting me on his now defunct YouTube channel, which I touched on in this Super Bowl post.
Here’s a screenshot from my own post that documents this hilarious claim:
I’m not a dirty Fed last time I checked, but I did react to this accusation by passing along Jed’s phone number in a report I gave to the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office, despite my misgivings about that Office’s leadership.
Jed has a hefty bond right now in the Missoula County Detention Facility, but that hasn’t wiped the smile of this FUGITIVE’S face.
Before we get to another man being labeled a FUGITIVE in jail with Jed and also with a last name starting with the letter S, here’s an interesting story about Jed from a GoFundMe account:
This sob story wouldn’t be complete without a reminder about what sent Jed off the deep end in the first place:
The Apple Valley Sheriff’s Station said that at approximately 6:10 p.m. on Saturday, deputies responded to a report of a disturbance in the 13000 block of Cuyamaca Road.
Upon arrival, a deputy learned that Schulz had refused to return three cats that belonged to the reporting party.
While speaking to Schulz, Deputy Watson witnessed a young boy in the living room with several cats running around. He also noticed an extremely strong odor of cat urine coming from inside the residence.
After entering the residence, the deputy located over 50 cats, several exotic birds, lizards and dogs. The entire home was covered with wood chips that the cats used as a litter box, sheriff’s officials said.
Taking on a more dower and thus appropriate FUGITIVE demeanor, Clayton Shea looks like he’s seen better days, perhaps the days spent running a write-in campaign for Whatcom County Sheriff. Isn’t this a strange world?
I first met Clayton last spring while doing REAL journalism in order to show how this Missoulian fluff piece was missing the meth-dealing connection I was able to easily find. While doing my journalism I was apparently a little TOO LOUD at 8am while talking to the young man the Missoulian played the victim card for. According to one of my sources on the street, young men might need to be careful around Clayton.
Getting back to Jed and his love for exotic kitty-cats, is the guy pictured below with a parrot just a lone nut, or is he part of something bigger developing in the Northwest, something that could include a White Supremacist like Steven Barry?
While Jed sits in a Missoula jail cell on a quarter million dollar bond, I’m considering reaching out to the Apple Valley Sheriff’s Office for a little chat. I actually enjoy talking to law enforcement when I know I can be helpful, like last spring, when I called the Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office in Idaho to discuss a little shoot-out and the publicly expressed opinions of the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office regarding Idaho law enforcement.
Here’s why I felt the need to speak with Idaho law enforcement:
In yesterday’s post I buried the lede, but not today. Today I’m going to say, right here at the top, that Ryan Funke’s Sheriff’s Office released the female suspect they detained before the St. Regis shootout WITHOUT notifying the County Attorney’s Office. I confirmed this with Deputy County Attorney, Wally Congdon, after I knocked on his door in Missoula and asked him about his cows.
This act by Funke’s Sheriff’s Office is hard to believe for those who understand how a local government is supposed to function, and it’s the detail that got the attention of the Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office last month when I spoke with a Captain about what I had discovered. The Captain assured me he would pass along my information to the Shoshone County Sheriff.
If anyone with relevant information would like to do the same for Apple Valley, here’s the contact info provided in the article linked to above:
If you appreciate the stories I cover, stories that no other local media outlet seems interested in telling, then consider supporting Travis’ Impact Fund (TIF). And get ready for Monday, because the ECLIPSE THEIR BULLSHIT trash removal event and poetry reading is going to be something to behold.
Thanks for reading!
