This appeared on the Rainbow Hammock Message Board. Date: Wednesday, March 4, 2009, 7:01 PM Just got an interesting phone call -- from Tradin' Bill. Apparently he ended up in the Marion County Jail, and he'll be stuck there for at least three or four more weeks. He's asking that phamily put the word out that he's stuck in Marion County. Looking for visitors too. xoxox MamaChelle If this is True and I can't see why it wouldn't be, as I trust MamaChelle'word. Any more info would be appreciated and if in the area go visit him,as I highly respect Our Rainbow Brother. Peace & Love to you Tradin Bill and to All my Rainbow Family
I dont like to hear about anybody going to jail, I guess he missed most of the gathering. It is a shame he focuses most of his year around Ocala. We really love Bill and wish the best for him.
Got an update from Mama Chele: no, he he he -- you gotta call the jail (438-5961or 438-5981), set an appointment to see William Keenan as A....H..... -- they'll give you a time, you go down, and you sit in a little chair, talk on the phone, and he's on a monitor in front of you -- it's either a 15 min visit or 30 -- don't know which. www.marionso.com has all the info under PUBLIC INFORMATION for all those FAQs.
damn what is he in for..he usualy seemed to be pretty careful and not a huge risk taker. was it a ticket offence at the gathering?
Does anyone know any of the details of the charges. I looked up what he did. Im not going to post what he is charged with but does anyone know what exactly he did because those charged are pretty serious.
Whatever happened, Bill is still Bill. We've all gone through stuff in our lives we don't want looked at through magnifing glasses. Bill helped me and mine, when we needed it. Thank you, Tradin Bill.
apparantly.... Staff Report Published: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 at 2:03 p.m. Last Modified: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 at 2:05 p.m. DUNNELLON - Deputies said a 46-year-old Dunnellon man was arrested early Tuesday and charged him with aggravated assault, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and false imprisonment after he held his wife hostage and threatened to shoot her if she did not give him $600. The woman's daughter called the Marion County Sheriff's Office after receiving a text message from her mother saying she could not leave the couple's home until she paid him $600 for a car. When deputies arrived at the Dunnellon home, where the couple live, the man - William Keenan - put the shotgun on the floor and was placed under arrest. The victim told officials that she felt threatened and did not leave because she believed Keenan would harm her and her family. Inside the home, deputies found marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a small baggie that contained 16 Cipro pills. Keenan, who was arrested shortly after midnight, was then taken to the Marion County Jail. its all in another thread...
I had posted this article, and apparently one of our dear invisible mods deleted it. When I read Al's info that the woman has a brain tumor, I wondered what sort of irrational behavior she she was engaging in before Bill pulled the gun. Bill's not the kind of guy that would go pulling a gun on someone without a DAMN good reason.
No invisible mods, Turn-up, you posted the article in the 'Official info about Trading Bill' thread. http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=353296&f=64
This is why I rant about people posting multiple renundant threads on the same identical topic topic...Evertone who has something to say does not have to start a new thread on the topic.
Yup, multiple threads on the same subject make it difficult to keep track of things but newbies often don't understand how forums work, which is why I think it would be nice to have a mod or psuedo-mod who could combine threads...but the accusations about invisible mods don't exactly make anyone want to do the job.
