I found this on The Outside Course BB

I am using this as a P.S.A......most of you know, I like to keep the peace....but this is just way too important not to let you all know..

"This is the information I posted on COTH. It was taken down by the Mods. I'm not really sure why they deleted it, it is public record and there has been discussions there that were much more inflammatory with no real base in fact.

Case number F1034326

Stacey Farnham, aka Stacey Mitchell, known as "Spacely" on the forums, had a Felony Grand Theft Warrant filed on June 2nd, 2010, and was arrested on June 3rd and jailed.

This felony was for Theft Of Services from Terrence Konkle for horse transportation. Stacey Farnham had given him multiple false credit card numbers.

Stacey was released June 4th, 2010 on bail of $20,000, which she raised with a $2000 premium on the $20,000 bond to Bad Boys Bail Bonds of San Jose.

On December 6th, 2010, Stacey Farnham pled Nolo Contendere ("Guilty" or "No Contest") and was convicted of PC 484/487(a), Felony Grand Theft Of Labor of a Value Over Four Hundred Dollars.

She was sentenced to jail term of 10 days (of which she got credit for 2 days served and the rest was Community Service), $1200 restitution paid to victim and one year probation, at the completion of which she can ask to have her record expunged.

She has a previous Felony Conviction from 2002. She was working at Shaw's Saddlery and was arrested for and convicted of stealing saddles and cash. She made restitution and was bailed out of jail. Case EE221731.

According to court documents for this most recent Felony case, she can also ask to have the Felony Conviction for Case EE221731 expunged. This COULD mean that the Three Strikes Laws would be affected.

I urge everyone who has gotten a bad check or a false credit card number from Stacey Farnham, and anyone who was promised payment for services that she received and hasn't paid for, to file a criminal warrant report with their local police department. It is important that this be done before her 1 year's Probation Term is up.

Criminal Court Records for the most recent 5 year period can be looked up at:

And there is also this tidbit...

Solano County: Case ID: FSC054921 - JACKSON, ELLEN L. VS MITCHELL FARNHAM, STACEY
Filing Date: Monday , October 20th, 2008 SMALL CLAIMS TRIAL FINAL JUDGMENT $1,344.18 - ... This is still unpaid and she has been hiding from process servers."

Good grief! I'm glad I don't know her.

She has made some nasty remarks about my white thoroughbred in the past. I blew her off. I realize there is a lot of snarkiness (is that really a word?) in the colored world, but I wish her the best because we all have are hard times and low points in life. I am in no way justifying what she has done. I just try to look at the good in all people.

Good to know thanks.

There are several snakes slithering at the COTH that's why I choose
not to go there for anything unless I am trying to look something up.

It's hard being on here at times, sure makes me wonder about "what"
people are like on the inside, but a much better forum as a group I think.

I'm certainly not comfortable with this type of posting - just my vote. I do see why it would be banned by moderators and I hope ours do the same.

HH,
I completely agree with Angrove. Thank you for a spine. Who here would like to go through something like that with someone, not knowing they are fixing to get taken advantage of? Not me! What would be even worse is if folks on here knew and could have warned the group like this and didn't and someone here lost a favorite horse, a sum of money, or other and no one here thought enough of anyone else here and just sat back and said "Oh well, looks like they got screwed too, too bad!". Wether foreign or domestic I would like to know.
Thank you, HH

My point was that this forum isn't really the place to post such things. To me, it's almost like an unspoken thing.

But then, I have seen things in the Colored Section out in the open that most KY breeders would never dream of saying out loud. The lively arguements and insults hurled here between color breeders would never occur in KY. Instead, quietly and discreetly, it might be known or leaked out.

Just an observation.

I agree that it is good information to know. Especially since she is an active poster that someone here might do business with.

Remember the story of the color breed out west that took advantage of a lot of people? She finally got caught, but almost took me for a ride. Wish I would have known before I went through all the trouble with her. Not as much trouble as some people. The breeder with the pali stallion that came up missing...sorry don't remember names.

I'M BACK!!!

I had a terrible breeding season in 2008, I lost everything and swore off TB's...it's been like 2 years since I have been here.

Last week I posted a thread called "My husbands mare" on horse grooming supplies. I think criticism is great but SPACELY was really rude and when I stood up to her, I started getting all kinds of crap. I did however get fan mail in PM!
So I decided to switch forums...It's better here, better educated people!

You can see for yourself.....

It's a little hard to see why you'd provide that link. You sound much worse on the thread than Spacely does.

You got all kinds of crap because you acted childish about it. Posting in all caps is a quick fire way of losing all respect.
