THIS GAL:
Yes, this toothy chick with a drug felony and a societal reprobate for a husband has popped back into the headlines this month on page 25 with her filing of an Order of Protection in Clay County against a relative.
And while she filed, she didn’t get. Not even on an emergency basis, which is something that usually ALWAYS happens, as judges are wont to take the chance that there might actually be some sort of validity to a claim and if they don’t allow the emergency filing, they could be facing repercussions further down the road.
That said, Jesteeeeeeeeeen Billingsley is the subject of the mid-day Read the Lead, Disagreeable dope convict fails at getting OP against uncle after his righteous rants, which we present to you here in part.

CLAY CO.—One of the people responsible for the prima facie abduction of a two-year-old girl in the Spring of 2013 has filed an order of protection in Clay County circuit court.
However, Jesteen Billingsley, formerly known as Jesteen Weiler, 28, suffered a loss on her complaint, as the judge in the case denied the petition on the day it was filed, making her 0 and 3 on the court docket when it comes to trying to prevail in that arena.
The ill-tempered Billingsley, whom equally-ill-tempered Jon Billingsley finally made an honest woman of, attempted to take out an order of protection against an uncle, Robert Lee Koehler II, 43, of Rinard, after some smart-mouth comments Koehler made in late July that apparently hurt whatever feelings Billingsley possesses.
First two strikes: Drug felony, then kidnapping
Billingsley, as Weiler, made headlines in mid-2012 when she was convicted of Obtaining a Controlled Substance by Fraud (taking a patient’s medicine from him when she was working at a local nursing home), a Class 4 felony. In August of that year she was placed on 30 months probation, ordered to pay $2,627 in fines and fees, of which $402 has yet to be paid, and ordered to attend drug treatment.
But she went off the deep end later when in May of 2013, she accompanied her mother, Sherry Kittle, in effectively kidnapping her niece, Lily Jones, from Lily’s father, Zephrum Jones, after Lily’s mother (and Jesteen’s sister) Andrea Weiler was killed in an ATV accident in Jasper County a few weeks prior.
Neither Billingsley nor Kittle were ever charged in the incident, which amounted to Jones, believing he was allowing his little daughter to visit with his late girlfriend’s family, not being allowed the return of the girl at a scheduled time.
Despite being on the girl’s birth certificate, it took DNA evidence and good arguments by Olney attorney Bart Zuber to get a court to order Kittle and Weiler to turn the child back over to her rightful parent, where she remains today.
Uncle Bobby calls it
Weiler-now-Billingsley, hostile in the wake of the whole mess, lambasted Disclosure for outing her despicable behavior.
However, apparently this news outlet isn’t the only one who believes her behavior to be what it is…and which her own words show.
In the petition for protection, Billingsley wrote that in July 11, “I texted my uncle yesterday asking him to leave my mother alone because it was no one’s fault but mine that he was not invited to my niece’s birthday party,” referencing Lily’s fourth birthday. “I told my mother if he was there I would not be and that I ranked higher than him”…
