Man Attacks Collection Agency With Axe! (Suttell & Hammer)

Man attacks collection agency with axe!

 

No, this is not the title of the next Hollywood blockbuster and I am not reading your mind. This actually happened!

 

A man smashed the (partially glass) entrance doors and part of the wall next to the doors with an axe and then ran off. This happened yesterday morning (6/15/10) at the offices of Suttell & Hammer (formerly Suttell & Associates, which is probably familiar to some here), a law firm/debt collection agency.

 

Here's a link to the full story (w/news video):

And here's a link from today (they caught the person):

This is especially funny (not really haha funny, but weird funny) because one of my relatives was actually subpoenaed by Suttell & Hammer to appear in court yesterday to disclose their assets for a default judgment that was granted last year (although seemingly shadily and I'm going to try to help them if I can). My relative appeared in court early, signed in and waited (along with about 30 other people) for the lawyer to show up. However, a substitute lawyer came and informed everyone that the hearing was canceled, citing an emergency at their office as the reason for the cancellation and for why the original lawyer did not come. My relative (and then I) only found out what really happened after watching the 11 o'clock news last night.

 

Now, I do NOT condone violence or destruction of property. At all. But I can't help *not* feeling any sympathy for this JDB (and I've been told that I'm often overly-sympathetic). Being a JDB, I think, is kind of like poking angry tigers for fun and then expecting not to get bitten or swiped at eventually.
