CRAWFORD CO.—Apparently State’s Attorney Thomas Wiseman has a little energy in what’s left of his term in office.
He’s charged another one of the Stifles in conjunction with the beating of Oblong girl, Harlie Walters-Johnson, 20.
Within a matter of days of the September 7 incident, Jody Stifle, a pugilistic man known throughout Crawford and Cumberland for punching people out if he didn’t get his way but one who managed to get out of his charges with a slap on the wrist, was arrested and charged with kicking Walters in the head after she was on the ground. She was allegedly on the ground because Stifle’s stepdaughter, Chelsea, had already beaten her pretty badly. Chelsea, 16, was mad because Walters had advised Chelsea’s boyfriend that Chelsea was running around on him. Such typical dysfunction.
Anyway, the Stifles, who have an overblown opinion of themselves due to a family member having won an award of money after a federal civil lawsuit, apparently believed they were going to get out of this one. However, as of today, Nikki Stifle, Jody’s wife, has been arrested. For what, it’s not certain, as there’s been nothing officially place on judici—yet. But here she is. Five-foot-three and as big around. We’re hearing it’s for Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor. That could mean a hundred dozen things, especially in light of the heathen children living in that household. But our Crawford sources are telling us it’s in conjunction with allowing Chelsea to either come to the scene of the beating, or the actual beating itself.
To top it off, same sources are telling us that Chelsea and the other Stifle girl, Brianna, are or have been charged in connection with the incident. Contrary to what the public widely believes, we as media do have access to the court hearings of juveniles, and are making plans to learn when the next available hearing is and sitting in on it. Then we can report accurately what exactly is going on, as these things can get out of control quick, what with the rumor mill is surrounding this story.
When we learn what exactly Nikki Stifle’s formal charges are, we’ll bring them. Keep checking back.
