Durango - Herb Young turned the telephone off again Tuesday after it rang at 12:40 a.m.
One recent caller had told him that "you should be found dead in a ditch."
Nine out of 10 calls to his house are from "crackpots," he said, ever since a plate of cookies and a case in La Plata County Small Claims Court turned life upside down.

Can't you read??? They called the Sherrff because of the BANGING on the door with no answer as to who was there....the Sheriff FOUND the cookies and thought it was so odd that he suggested they leave the house.
I scanned the story and didn't see any mention of a lawyer. Have some additional info? Since it was in Small Claims court, I figured she might have done it herself. $300-400 wouldn't be much of a fee.
that's their tale....the slug...I'm sitting on mine right now....sounds like spin to me...and a DimmerCrat blubbering sheriff
Yup. I've heard countless stories in the last few months of al Qaeda operatives leaving cookies (with initials) at the doors of many people all over this great land of ours.
Can't you read (between the lines)? The sheriff is a nitwit.
"And this is the photo of the whiplash Ms. Young has now had to endure from the phone calls. She will now make use of not signing the waiver and file a 2nd lawsuit to the young cookie baking girls."
Not necessarily. He may have just been trying to get them out of his jurisdiction for 24 hours.
In a rural county, there is usually only one sheriff or deputy patrolling. Response time is long if he is many miles from your home. I think that is one of the reasons most rural folk are just more cautious. The sheriff did right by advising them to leave their home until he was sure what was going on. Remember, most rural folks don't hide their vehicles, ring the doorbell at 10:30 pm and refuse to show themselves or identify themselves at the door.
sorry still don't believe this description of the flavor and character of the events just as I have difficulty with bthe girls hiking 1000 yards....
How rural? can someone MapQuest the locale?
Well, on another thread of the same content, the people were just as hateful there too and there were only three of us there too.
Continue to fight the good fight. These anti-Young people on their thread are coming across as Democrat-like nut cases.
Why do you have a problem with two healthy girls walking 1000 yards? It is a fact that they did, as it is in the actual police report.
What the heck are you talking about? I never said anything about shooting girls who knock on my door. However, in the country if a person knocks, and then hides in the shadows, they must MIGHT get shot.
You need to reread the articles. The mother offered to pay but didn't. The court agreed with the Youngs. The girls should have stayed at the dance.
You're probably one of the callers to the Youngs, right?
Apparently, it took no time for them to figure out who sent the cookies, since there were initials left behind. Like the anti-cookie girls on this thread, the sheriff over-reacted. JMO.

I'd say the sheriff isn't the dimwit between him and you.
"...and you would EAT COOKIES that you didn't know who left on your doorstep???"
They must have known who left the cookies. Not only are the two girls who left cookies friends of Mrs. Young's daughter, the father called their house the next morning. They knew who left the cookies - they are just sue happy. And I would have eat the cookies knowing that the delivery was from two neighbor girls who are friends with my daughter.

Nope, you do your own homework. You jump in here with your emotional posts of the poor cookie girls without the facts...and you demand I provide you proof?
You sue two teenage girls for giving you cookies, but "they" robbed you of your laughter and damaged your spirit and soul.
The depths of denial are breathtaking.
put up or shut up
Nice excuse on the parents part. But in the end the court said they had to pay...and likely didn't make her sign the agreement (at least I haven't read that the court did that anyway).
