Cowboy Up...and support this local horse rescue!

Cowboy's Pride Horse Rescue Foundation in Luther is in desperate need of some help. Its owners took out a loan for a couple of used barns. Unfortunately...they paid a guy $12,000 for two metal buildings they've yet receive...and it doesn't look like they're going to be receiving them anytime soon..if ever. Money at the horse rescue is tight..if you'd like to donate a used barn or money to buy one...you can donate directly on their website... http://cowboyspride.org/

Out of state roofing company targeting Oklahomans...

With the recent tornado and hail damage...there's been no shortage of out of state contractors and roofers in the Central Oklahoma...one in particular has been on our radar for several weeks...Red River Insurance Construction...DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS OUT OF STATE COMPANY! Shel St. Claire (also known as Shel St. Pankau) and Richard Rinaolo run the roofing company...and are facing criminal charges in Illinois. They're also under investigation for the same thing in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. You can check out our investigation into Red River Insurance Construction here... www.kfor.com/inyourcorner ...Several FOX affiliates have also picked up on the story...Houston and Chicago

Here's some tips I picked up from State Attorney General...
• Ask people you trust for referrals.
• Check out the company with Better Business Bureau at BBB.org.
• Call the Attorney General’s Office to find out if any complaints have been filed against the
company.
• Get written estimates from at least two firms.
• Don’t do business without a written contract.
• Don’t sign a contract with blank spaces or provisions you don’t understand.
• Get all guarantees, warranties and promises in writing.
• Agree on start and completion dates and have them written into the contract.
• Get names and addresses and check old phone books to see how long the company has
been in business.
• Ask for proof of workers’ compensation and liability insurance.
• Don’t make final payments unless you are satisfied with the work.
• Make sure subcontractors have been paid by getting lien waivers.
• Don’t pay the entire contract up-front.

The Military Mistress is behind bars!

Bobbi Ann Finley...the woman known as the 'Military Mistress' is in a New Orleans jail. Finley, who is accused of seducing and scamming military men all over the country, was arrested on Bourbon Street early Monday for skipping out on a restaurant tab. The bartender at La Bayou says Finley ordered about $240 worth of food and drinks...but admitted she couldn't pay her bill...so the restaurant called police.

Finley's tab breaks down like this: She ordered 3 steaks, a rack of ribs, appetizers, dessert, drinks and 11 Tuaca Bombs...apparently...she was buying food and shots for other patrons at the restaurant. Authorities in New Orleans are now able to hold Finley on the petty charge of stealing food and drinks...but it's the feds will file some serious charges against her in the near future...stay tuned!

Here's a link to her updated mugshot...booking information in Louisiana...

Update: Military Mistress

We continue to track the woman known as the Military Mistress...Bobbi Ann Finley is making news headlines across the country...her victims say she targets people from all walks of life...especially servicemen on military bases...in some cases...seducing and marrying them so she can steal their money and ruin their credit. And that's not all...It's alleged Finley gave birth to 9 children...all of whom she's abandoned or used to scam others...even her own mother says she's a detriment to society.
So just where is Finley? We've been trying to track her down for months. Early on in our investigation...we thought she was still in Oklahoma...then word from a news station in Seattle that she was likely living in Washington State...then late last week...Finley unexpectedly walked into the front doors of a news station in Montgomery, Alabama where she gave her side of things to a WAKA-CBS 8 news crew there. Here's that interview in its entirety...Part 1 and Part 2.

and I just learned a couple from Alabama was also duped by Finley...they say she tricked them into driving her to New Orleans...where they dropped her off at the French Quarter...and no surprise here...Finley also wrote them a hot check. Army Investigators still want to hear from anyone who has crossed paths with Finley...contact Kai Barters at 254-287-7906...ext. 2722
