Some of those un-educated folks out there....

Wow, I would have never guessed the number of un-educated people here in this city. Wait, I guess I did realize that, since we have no one who will run for Mayor against the Almighty Drunk we have for a mayor (if you want to call him that).

This blog has been accused of slander and all kinds of things since it went online last weekend.

First of all, there isn't anything slanderous there. Jenker is a MULTIPLE convicted DRUNK, Shannon isn't bonded, as required by law, and all of the other stuff on here is just the surface.

What you didn't know is that people are actually more educated than some of those who have posted on the blog. There are people here who know what is really going on, and their support is minimal. Hide behind your anonymous posts. I will bet you a Schlitz (Jenker's favorite beer) that when it all comes down to it, this thing will be blown wide open. Too many people know what is actually happening here in the real world. There is more to this than a few narrow minded people who think Jenker is a saint, and Shannon is alright. Shannon might be alright working at a convienence store, but the fact remains she is not bonded, and that is a violation of state law. Everyone knows it. She had to be BONDED BEFORE STARTING TO WORK. That came from the AG's office!!!

As for Jenker and his drunkedness, after drinking and driving- and being arrested and convicted, and then getting arrested while mayor here for PI, and his own actions, that gives him the HABITUAL DRUNK status. He was arrested on Jan 5, 2005 in the parking lot of the Bardwell Store for PUBLIC INTOXICATION.

He was arrested in Dallas County 7.19.91 Arrested for DWI and Unlawful carrying of weapon. Convicted 9.18.91. Other arrests and convictions are out there as well....

Sue all you want, problem is, you can't find a lawyer to take it- because it is backed up with FACT.

So defend them all you want. Will you bail them out of jail if it comes down to it?

"COPS" Should Come To Bardwell

Well we have a real "metro" like Police force here in big Bardwell. Maybe the TV Show "COPS" should come to town.

Here is a typical day in Bardwell. Mayor wakes up around 6 AM, and immediately hits the bottle. He goes to City Hall, and retrieves the beer from the fridge inside the city offices..... (There was beer left in it for him last year).

Mike decides to patrol, and has city clerk Shannon riding around in the police car with him. A typical day in Bardwell, answering dog calls, writing bogus tickets (which city councilmembers hand out to the citizens- that is when they aren't driving the car themselves). Most typically, though, the Police Chief is at City Hall or more likely home.

The mayor, gets drunk (I bet his liver looks like swiss cheese). He drives around town, then goes to his shop and drives around some more. Here is a street sign we need to put on every street in town, warning drivers and pedestrians alike about Mayor Jenker's driving:


Now, that would make a good episode of "COPS". Our police force arresting OUR drunkard for a mayor. We can call it like we see it, considering his convictions, his arrest, and his blatant, IN PUBLIC alcohol consumption. Look in the back of the truck if you are a cop and stop him, or even in the cab. Then you can see that cooler........... It don't take a rocket scientist to find him, but evidently, our Police Chief is not even close to one. More like a puppet, with Jenker in control of the strings.

Shannon has a reputation here in town, whether or not is true, her appearance, with those boots with the fur around the top, make me think of a street walker. She knows she is not supposed to be in the car, but does anyway. Instead of "Cops", I think we will make the cover of this magazine:

The triangle- is it "love connection" or just a 3-way-screw up? (Mayor Jenker, Chief Michael Spurgeon, City Clerk Shannon Spurgeon)

Well, guys and gals, just an observation here- but what is the deal with the connections between the "dynamic trio" consisting of Mayor Jenker, Chief Michael Spurgeon, City Clerk Shannon Spurgon)?

They rent from the Mayor a little trailer on highway 34 (Sycamore Street). They are paid by the City, which Jenker controls, which is obvious.

Shannon is paid by the City, as is Chief Spurgeon.

Shannon and Mike sit in the yard- Shannon sees a traffic violator (or thinks they are), tells Mike to go hop in the car and get them.. He waits till they get out of town, and then stops them. (Witnessed by a Bardwell Citizen)

Jenker drives around with a Schlitz in one hand and the steering wheel in the other (when he has his hands on the wheel).

As little as Bardwell is, the entire town knows Jenker is a drunkard, but hell, who cares when you control the police and the city clerk.

I don't know if it is illegal or not, but sure looks fishy, in a town with very few employees, you have a cop in charge, who is married to the "money taker" (who, as you can read below) isn't bonded.

Then you have Spurgeon who drives Jenker to other cities on non-Bardwell issues.

I don't know what ya'll think, but I think it could either be a triangle, or just a 3-way screw up. I mean, they all have issues. We get part time police protection, illegal activities in city hall, and a Mayor "who has yet to tame the blue bull". (FYI- a blue bull is the Schlitz logo)

Maybe the money that Shannon collects, or Jenker's own finances should invest in the Schlitz Malt Liqour company. Hell, he might even becom a millionaire, and buy the city, since he obviously controls it.

Here is something from "Modern Drunkard Magazine", which maybe we should give a complimentary subscription to Jenker:


Schlitz Malt Liquor Alcohol Content:5.9%

AKA: Blue Bull, Not My Fault Malt.

Reputation: Your pop’s malt liquor.Running amok and smashing shit like a bull in the delicate china shop that is your taste buds, Schlitz rushes in like a sweaty running back and finishes with a chemical aftertaste reminiscent of burning tires.

Aesthetics: The Bull is angry. He’s trapped against a wall. A white wall. To Schlitz’s credit, they don’t throw cheap adjectives like “premium” or “fine” on the label. All they feel the need to tell you is the name, alcohol content and size. What else do ya need to know, professor?

Jenker goes to the "Linebacker" store to buy, and doesn't even support our local merchants. Wonder where the blue bull's testicles are (or the one who drinks it and runs this town). Maybe we should all grow a pair and clean up city hall (if we don't have them, or if ours hasn't dropped yet) As for Chief Spurgeon, if were to arrest his boss, the Mayor, he would probably be evicted & Fired!

Shannon Spurgeon - City Clerk Not Bonded- Violates State Law & The Council Won't Do A Darn Thing (or Can't) because of Mayor Jenker

How is it that the POLICE CHIEF, can be married to the CITY CLERK?

As was posted on "Ellis County Observer", our City Water Clerk collects money and is not bonded. Yet, the council can't (because Mayor Jenker calls the shots) or won't fire her because of her inability to be bonded.

She has collected money since she was hired right at a year or so ago.

State Law requires that clerks be bonded. Ms. Shannon ain't bonded, and can't be bonded, but no one knows why........

From the Local Government Code, Chapter 24.

§ 24.052. CLERK AND TAX ASSESSOR-COLLECTOR; BOND; POWERS AND DUTIES. (a) The governing body of the municipality shall appoint a competent person as clerk of the municipality. The clerk is also the tax assessor-collector of the municipality. (b) Before beginning to perform the duties of the office, the clerk must execute a good and sufficient bond with a surety company authorized to do business in this state. The bond must be: (1) in an amount determined by the governing body to be sufficient to protect the funds of the municipality, but not less than twice the largest amount collected at any one time in the preceding fiscal or calendar year; (2) approved by the governing body; and (3) filed and recorded in the minutes of the governing body. (c) The clerk has the same powers and duties that are imposed by the general laws on the clerk, treasurer, and tax assessor-collector of a Type A or Type B general-law municipality.Acts 1987, 70th Leg., ch. 149, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1987.

Maybe an audit would be in order by the Attorney General, as public funds are involved.

Why can't Ms. Shannon be bonded. This bond was supposed to be filed BEFORE she started to work, not a year later. We have been in violation of the law for a year or so, but who cares, this is Bardwell, and Jenker calls the shots, makes the rules, and the law.

Are we sure our funds and water bill payments have all went to the city coffer, since our clerk can't be bonded, and hasn't been bonded not 1 day of her employment?

Bardwell Intruder: Mayor Jenker Habitual Drunk & Convicted Criminal

Welcome To Bardwell, Come & Sit A Spell, While Your At It, Come See Our Mayor Who Should Be In Jail


Welcome to the blog, ladies and gents. This blog is dedicated to exposing the issues affecting Bardwell, and the current administration.I am your host, "Deputy Dog". We are going to take it to the 'net and expose the real issues. NOW, on to Issue 1 Volume 1, June 10, 2007: The Beginning



We are going to start this blog off with some post about mayor Prentice (P.W.) "Jenker" Gentry..... Seems that Mayor Gentry is a habitual drunk. Has a lengthy arrest history, including DWIs in Dallas County (convictions) , Unlawfull Carrying of a Weapon (convictions)- Dallas County, and several criminal charges right here in little 'ol Bardwell (of course not by OUR police. They are HIS force).



He has been arrested for Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon and Public Intoxication, right here in our own backyard, WHILE serving as MAYOR, yet he is still the Mayor.



WOW, no wonder Jenker can drive around inibriated, and never go to jail. He has the Police Chief under HIS control. We will post more on this issue later... Now on to another topic... "Let's get this party started".
