ABC News – WACO, Texas Jan 13, 2006:
A lawyer faces a felony charge of kidnapping for allegedly abducting a client from his wedding celebration in an attempt to collect legal fees.
Police say Paula Allen, 51, took Rolando Castelan from his Dec. 10 wedding and then drove him around in handcuffs as Castelan called friends and family from a cell phone to scrounge up the money he owed his lawyer, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported for its Friday edition.
Allen vouched for Castelan’s bond amount of $5,000, police said. Six months later, a grand jury indicted Castelan on the drug possession charge, but he failed to show up to court.
Allen tried to persuade Castelan to come to court, but when he didn’t, the court found her responsible for the $5,000 bond.
A band of texas desperadoes kidnap a man from his own wedding to get money? The real question is whether Rodriguez or Tarantino will direct the movie.
Tarantino will direct the movie for certain.
If you can’t do the time, don’t drink the wine.
Why didn’t she just have the Police arrest him and then ask the court for the bail money?
i would love to speak in my own defense on this subject but am forbidden by my attorney becaus of ongoing litigation…suffice it to say there is always a “rest of the story” which never gets published because of a rush to be the first to break the news….it just gets harder and harder to read between the lines to find the truth…
