Social Media FAIL! CA Woman Defaces Rocks at 7 National Parks & her own Instagram Posts get her Indicted & Convicted ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Meet 23 y/o Casey Nocket.  That's her below....



Casey is the unequivocal douche bag of the week.  



Why is Casey the unequivocal douche bag of the week?  Because over a 26-day period in 2014 Casey intentionally and for her own douche baggerous reasons damaged formations at seven (7) different national parks by drawing or painting on them with acrylic paint and markers, signing her works with her social media handle "Creepytings" and then posting them online.  Among the parks she targeted were Death Valley and Yosemite National Parks in California, Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, Zion National Park in Utah and Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.



Her own posts were her demise, as after proudly posting her work on Instagram Casey provoked outrage on social media and was arrested.  Per U.S. Atty. Phillip A. Talbert:  "The defendant's defacement of multiple rock formations showed a lack of respect for the law and our shared national treasures.  The National Park Service has worked hard to restore the rock formations to their natural state, completing clean-up efforts in five of the seven national parks.  They expect to complete clean-up efforts at Death Valley and at Crater Lake national parks as weather permits."  But some of the vandalism has proved difficult to remove, as sandblasting and chemical stripping techniques used to remove paint can cause irreplaceable damage to natural features.
And at two parks, Crater Lake and Death Valley, the graffiti is yet to be fully removed nearly two years after the fact.  Below is Casey's "creation" (douche) at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.



And below is her defacement of Yosemite National Park...



Other examples follow...




On June 21st, 2016 Casey appeared in federal court in Fresno, California where she pleaded guilty to seven (7) counts of defacing national parks, and she has now been formally banned from entering any of the National Parks in the United States (which, geographically, compromises more than 20% of the land in the US).  The amount of money that she will be ordered to pay remains an open question for her Judge.



Casey deleted her Instagram account but not before various media outlets got hold of it, publishing exchanges in which she shamelessly defended her work.  In one post from Casey defiantly wrote: "It's art, not vandalism. I am an artist."



Memo to Casey Nocket:  You are not an artist, you are an a**hole.




Memo to the Folks:  Props to those of you who called out this douche baggerous self-centered a**hole out for defacing protected nature.  Per Charles Cuvelier, the Chief of the National Parks Service Law Enforcement:  "This case illustrates the important role that the public can play in identifying and sharing evidence of illegal behavior in parks.  It is clear that the public cares deeply for the special places that the National Park Service represents, and the resolution of this case sends a message to those who would consider such inappropriate behavior going forward."


Memo to the Folks Continued:   Social Media is all fun and nice until it's introduced into evidence against you in Court.  See "Haber's Rules of Social Media # 1 - 5" by clicking here, and click on the video link below to watch HaberPA's YouTube Webisode / Video FAQ on "Social Media and the Law"




Memo to the Folks Continued:  Think before you post; Once posted always posted; Don;t post anything that you would not want your mother to see / read; Cops literally troll the internet looking for folks who go to, look in, download from or upload to targeted (and usually, but not always "deviant") sites, and they also conduct internet "stings", posing as children or deviants and looking to bag anyone foolish enough to take the bait; and If it's even remotely relevant to a pending charge then prosecutors will cram your social media posts, and history (sites visited, searches made, etc) down your throat in court.

When it comes to the subject of "Cops, Courts and Constitutions" you should always have a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney who is focused on serving your interests.  While we can't stop the cops from arresting you, as your legal counsel Michael A. Haber, PA will ensure that your rights are respected from the moment that representation begins and that any abuses which may have occurred beforehand are remedied.


At Michael A. Haber, P.A. "Its all about reasonable doubt"!

Sequoia National Park Posts an Apology Letter on it's Facebook Page from Contrite Thief who Stole, and then Returned, a Pine Cone ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




A seemingly young and guilt-ridden pine cone thief decided to return his booty to its original owner - the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks - with the following and heartwarming apology letter:  "To whom it may concern,' read the handwritten note. 'I took a pine cone out of the forest and I wanted to return it. I hope it will be replaced near the General Grant tree because that is where I took it. I am sorry for my decision. Thank you."




Authorities at the park were most pleased when the unidentified cone thief sent the stolen goods back to the park, so much so that they published the apology note on their Facebook page (which you can access by clicking here), together with an explanation as to why this was a good decision on the part of the cone pilferer: "Have you ever wanted to take a pine cone home from the park?  It's actually against park rules to do so. Why? It's a tough environment here. The animals need their nibbles and the area needs the seeds and vegetation. Also, cones and other plants deteriorate and help to create soil in this rocky environment.  Check out this note that we received from a young visitor. It isn't a pine cone - it's a Giant Sequoia cone, of course. But we are so glad this young person thought about the park's preservation messages. Thanks for leaving Sequoia and Kings Canyon Parks as you found them. And, thanks for sending this back, buddy!"




The national park, spans 404,064 acres, is located in the southern Sierra Nevada east of the San Joaquin Valley in Visalia, California, showcases pristine wilderness, mountains, canyons, wildlife, and plenty of the world's largest tree, the giant sequoia, including "The General Grant" sequoia tree which was referenced in the letter and which is the largest giant sequoia in the General Grant Grove section of the park (it is 267.4 feet tall and recently estimated to be 1,650 years old).




The reaction on Facebook, where the picture of the letter has received almost 1,400 shares and about 6,600 Likes, was extremely positive, with many commentators praising the parenting of the repentant cone thief and saying such things as "Great parenting! You are raising a good and responsible citizen!".





At Michael A. Haber, P.A. the goals in representing folks are A) to be honest and realistic about litigation objectives; B) to be fair in regard to fees; C) to be consistently available and responsive to the client (in person, by phone call, text, email, Facebook. Twitter and otherwise); D) to keep the client informed; and E) to secure your positive feedback / client review at the conclusion of each case.


At Michael A. Haber, P.A. "Its all about reasonable doubt"!

Former College Baseball Player is Arrested for Trafficking in MDMA & Marijuana & leads Agents to almost $2Mil in Buried Cash on his Family's Farm ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Bradley Lewis Felder, pictured below, was a standout outfielder when he played college ball at Clemson.




Had Brad made it into the majors then he may not have gotten into drug trafficking.



But he didn't, and so it came to pass that a DEA investigation began into Brad and his business partner, Everette 'Rhett' Carter Berry, in 2013 for importing and distributing high-grade marijuana and molly in Richland and Lexington counties, South Carolina. The marijuana was coming from northern California and the molly was coming from as far as China.  Agents determined that the pair had been renting houses and apartments just to have the drugs shipped, that they paid other friends to accept the shipments, 9 of which were intercepted by DEA agents which contained a kilo of MDMA and $150,000.00 cash.




Brad was arrested on August 31, 2015 at which time DEA agents seized $1,481.90 in cash, a loaded .45 caliber pistol, two watches valued at $64,000 and $46,356 and multiple cell phones.  A search of the photos on his cell phones revealed pictures of large quantities of cash, which led to Brad taking DEA Agents to his family's farm, where they found an additional $1,768,031.00 in cash buried in bags.  




Brad and Berry were charged with conspiracy to possess and possession with intent to distribute 3,4-Methylenedioxyethylcathinone Hydrochloride (commonly known as 'molly') and at least 50 kilograms of marijuana, and on Wednesday, June 1st, 2016 they both promptly pleaded guilty.   Neither has yet been sentenced but they each face 20 years in prison and a $1,000,00.00 fine.




Memo to Brad:  Next time (if there is one):  A) Be more humble (don't take photos of your cash); B) Bury it in a more conspicuous place (like the Wolley Swamp)




Memo to Brad continued:  and (last but not least) C) #STFU, #Invoke and #DontTalkToCops!!!  Forgetting the topsoil and earth critters that got stirred when the DEA tore up your family's farm there are Founding Fathers rolling all over the place after your failure to honor the Constitution that they fought and died to bestow.





When it comes to the subject of "Cops, Courts and Constitutions" you should always have a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney who is focused on serving your interests.  While we can't stop the cops from arresting you, as your legal counsel Michael A. Haber, PA will ensure that your rights are respected from the moment that representation begins and that any abuses which may have occurred beforehand are remedied.

Can I Return to the US from Overseas if my Ex took out a Restraining Order against me while I am away? ~ "Best Answer" on AVVO ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1

Q:     I can't go to court hearing because I'm outside USA and haven't been served, what's gonna happen when I come back? Can I sue him? My Ex filed a domestic violence case, (that's all I was told when I called court) while I'm overseas, i haven't been served and I can't go to the court hearing date because I won't be in USA in some weeks, what's gonna happen because if that? Also he is falsely accusing me of that when I'm already gone, and I can't afford a lawyer now. I told sheriffs and court I'll be in USA in almost a month looks like there wasn't problem for it. Also could I file a domestic violence against him and a restraining order? Perhaps something against him since he is accusing me of it when I'm not even there? will it be dismissed because I'm out of USA and haven't been served?

Answered .   What will happen is that the DVRO will remain temporary and it will not become permanent until after you have been served, a hearing is conducted and your ex proves (if he proves) that the permanent is necessary and lawfully required.  The Temporary DVRO will remain temporary for so long as your ex continues to appear in Court (the Judge will continue to grant extensions of the T-DVRO), and if at any time your ex fails to appear then the T-DVRO will be quashed and that will be that.

Regardless, so long as it is a civil DVRO then it is not a criminal matter, there is no warrant attached, you are not a fugitive, your name will not be entered into a criminal justice data base, and so no, you will not be taken into custody (not for this anyhow) when you return to the States.  You may be served (although I highly doubt that the Sheriff will be waiting around the terminal for you to return), but in the off chance that you are served then all that will happen is that you will be handed papers which will notice you of a future hearing in civil court (and you will be afforded sufficient time to retain counsel and prepare a meaningful and effective defense).

As to the rest of your question: "Can I sue _______", this is not a criminal defense question; It is a civil law question.

Last I checked this was still America, and in America you can sue pretty much anyone for pretty much anything. Whether or not a) you can find a lawyer to sign her / his name to the paperwork, b) your lawsuit survives a motion for summary judgment / to dismiss, c) you get a favorable judgment, d) your defendant is collectable or e) you ever see a dime is both beyond my ability to predict and is anyone's guess.

If you want to increase your odds at getting a competent answer then you should repost this question and list "lawsuits and disputes" and not "criminal defense" as a practice area. In fact, I will do this for you....

I hope that I have been helpful in properly re-directing your questions.
