At approximately 9:50 PM May 31st, Orleans, Mass Police showed up at the home of Thomas Padgett in South Orleans, with an extradition warrant to return him to Kentucky for yet another fugitive from (in)justice charge, where scientologist Laura Padgett is the complaining witness. Three squad cars show up to apprehend Mr. Padgett as the papers they received from Kentucky indicated they wanted him held WITHOUT bail! Padgett spent over an hour in a 5' X 7' cell stripped of his belt and shoelaces before his lawyer brother John showed up with a bail commissioner (bondsman.) After explaining the cult involvement and the 19th century mentality of the small western Kentucky town that originated the legal proceedings (harassment,) Padgett was released on his own recognizance and $25 in cash. He has to be in court at 8:30 AM the next day to defend extradition at this time. Padgett's family and close friends are appealing to ARS'ers to talk up this criminal set up, which follows a pattern of Paulette Cooper, Steve Fishman, Dennis Erlich, and recently Bob Minton and Mark Bunker. As well to seek out all media/press attention as required at this time.

John Carmichael claimed Padgett was a convicted felon at the Leo J. Ryan Foundation Conference in Stamford, Conn. This was a totally false statement, but the cult and Tom's ex are trying to make this a reality. ---------------------------------------------------------- Alliance for Better Understanding of Scientology Ethics (A.B.U.S.E.) link to: http://www.b-org.demon.nl/scn/deaths/childabuse.html
