Monday's Odds and Ends - Law and Order Edition

Serial Dead Beat Tenant April Dawn Willocks - Here's a story that says maybe the economy is not so healthy after all. Apparently, April Willocks aka Dawn Wilcox, aka April Wilcox has a long list of landlords and other creditors hot on her trail.




Not to mention the local cops and North Carolina Highway Patrol.

Seems the single mother has been jumping from apartment to apartment, following eviction after eviction. Apparently the former wife of a Charlotte restaurateur has found a way to live rent free or at least so she thinks. Ms. Willocks has racked countless "Summary Ejection" filings in Mecklenburg County alone over the last 10 years, the most recent one filed just last week.

Eviction actions filed by case number in Mecklenburg County:

2011CVD019770
2012CVM034878
2013CVM024080
2013CR 202898
1999CDV7920
2001CVM27311
2011CVM36992
2012CVM34878
2013CVM24080
2011CVD19770
2011CVD21339
20013CVM29899
2014CVM340
 
Other lawsuits:
Amsted Park
FIA Card DBA Bank America
Kingsley Home Owners Association
Brock & Scott

Staying just one step ahead of the law has been her M/O. That is until she was stopped for speeding in a work zone and was arrested for (DWLR) driving with a revoked license on September 10, 2013.

Apparently Ms. Willocks lost her NCDL thanks to one or more drunk driving arrests in 2010, 2011 or 2012. But she has reportedly been seen driving around Charlotte with impunity.
 
CP Bonus: Thanks to a CP reader, apparently Ms. Willocks is a promo girl for a liquor wholesale operation out of Florida known as Independence Spirits, LLC. the maker of "Sweet Revenge" a strawberry flavored "high proof" Liquor.
 
A couple of prior addresses this woman has used under different aliases:
 
11910 Royal Castle Ct, Charlotte, NC 28277
 
821 Selwyn Oaks Court, Charlotte, NC 28209
 
Confessions - Admittedly I'm a fan of "This American Life" and host Ira Glass. I simply love the framework that is used to tell a story. Often a story that is too in-depth to tell via mainstream media. Too controversial or too detailed for most of America to follow. 
 
And isn't that what a blog like Cedar Posts should point out?
 
 
Admittedly at first I was hesitant to even admit I found this interesting and in fact vastly enlightening. I feared I would offend some of my police friends and family. 
 
But imagine if you where charged with crime you didn't commit, and that crime was murder. What if the evidence was overwhelming and no one believed you were innocent? What if all the facts, charge card signatures and surveillance photos provided it was you? Would you confess to a crime you didn't commit?
 
The answer of course is NO! or at least that is what one veteran police detective used to think, until he reopened a cold case and reviewed the charges he help bring against a women named Kim.
 
"It was 1994. A man was found dead by the Anacostia River in Washington, DC. He'd been tied up and savagely beaten. Someone had taken his wallet and used his credit card at a liquor store, a drug store, and a Chinese restaurant. Police also had a surveillance photo from an ATM that looked like this woman named Kim. From public documents, they saw that her handwriting matched the signatures on the credit card slips.
 
Jim Trainum was the lead detective on this case. It was one of his first major homicide investigations. And when he started interrogating Kim, she just denied everything. She told him she didn't know the dead men. She'd never signed any credit card slips. So they sat there for hours going back and forth. Then early that afternoon, Kim started to crack."
 
Eventually Kim admitted to the crime, the trouble is she didn't kill anyone in fact she had nothing at all to do with the murder. In fact she couldn't have, but still she confessed to killing someone. Why?

I have to agree with Anonymous 8:03 this is low interest news.

Hopefully the cops will get her locked up, but the BS that is going on with the Meck BOCC is something you should look into.

They have tossed the open meetings rules out the highest window at the government center.

How about an update on local terrorist, Nichols Poulos? How many times does one have to get arrested until more lives are ruined by this criminal?

She looks pretty rough but I'd expect so much after an all nighter.

I know April and there is no way she has been arrested! You are scum and you need to take those fake photos down.

She used to work at City Tavern was fired for stealing and I'll guess got divorced for the same reason. She's a druggie. And yes that is her.

Well looks like she used to be hot. No way she is anything less than 50 in dog years.

Nice how Cedar "trolls" the Observer mugshots for hotties. Looks like he made up the dead beat tenant part to build a case against her.

How about someone just made an honest mistake?

I checked it out and sure enough she's due in court on October 31 and again in November. Looks like Cedar is dead on.

She's a hottie. Every old man landlord will let her rent.

Do your homework or get facts before slandering someone, a single mother. First a landlord can file for eviction on the first day rent is late by first sending a 10 day notice to pay or go, then a summary ejectment. In a lot of cases, if the landlord is paid, they simply do not follow through with eviction. When looking at the civil pleadings, the document number is the same on all but one meaning they equal one for Ms Willocks. The dates of the last are so close last one, I would conclude she wasn't hoping around getting free rent at all and when looking at the document filing DOES NOT appear this one went through to eviction at all.

After checking your facts on her arrest record, Ms Willocks had one DUI in 2009, again your lack of due diligence failed to notice the case numbers were the same.

Cedar looks like she's been arrested again in Rowan County, she's due in court again on January 16, 2014.

Are you sure she's from Charlotte? Looks like she spends a lot of time in Salisbury.

Well damn! I know April, she used to be hot, but drugs have taken a toll. Hear she's been to Molly and liked it.

I don't know about her legal issues looks like she owes a lot of money to a lot of un happy people.

Goggle her name and she's got a dozen or more judgments, but she always was a hoe.

Cedar check it out she's back in court this week another DWLR and other charges this time in Mecklenburg County. Someone needs to lock her ass up and toss the key.
