As always, facts interspersed with my opinions concerning those facts.
Tadric Wallace Page was arraigned today. Unfortunately, a doctor appointment kept me from attending, so I don’t have a first hand account to share with you. But, I will pass along what I heard.
Tad came to court and was yucking it up with one of the bailiffs. Doing his usual, as we have seen on body cam footage, name dropping, etc. “Do you know Sergeant so-and-so?” “He was at my award ceremony when Sheriff so-and-so pinned the ‘Assclown of the Year’ award on me.” That kind of stuff.
He was approached by a deputy who was taking his physical information, and Tad asked him what it was for. He was told that the protection order he is currently under is being extended until his trial date. Tad announced his intention to dispute that order, and the deputy walked away.
The judge called the case, and informed Tad that the Protection Order was in fact extended until his court date. He further informed him that the court date was set for July 17th. Tad then asked if he could ask the Judge a couple of questions, to which the Judge responded that he hadn’t prepared himself for a quiz that morning.
Tad, once again, perjured himself by claiming that “they” (Jimmy and Sarah) had attempted to contact him several times since the protection order was issued, and that “they” live more than 20 miles away. Please note, this is the same shit he is trying to pull with his charges against me. Trying to make the court believe that people are going out of their way and driving long distances just to hang out near his property. But this was the original Judge from the very first case, and he wasn’t buying the bullshit.
The Judge advised Tad that he had an attorney (who was not present), and that the Commonwealth Attorney was standing right next to him, so it would be advisable to stop talking. He further advised Tad that he should bring all of his evidence regarding these allegations to trial. Which, of course, he can’t. Because the things he is claiming are happening are not in fact happening.
So…currently Tad’s next court appearance is his actual trial, set for July 17th. I’d like to encourage everyone who can take a little PTO, to come out and watch the circus that is Tadric Page in a court room.
If July seems like a long time to wait, my next court date with Tad is June 20th. If you want to come watch him embarrass himself in court again, that’s your next chance to do it. Assuming that the Commonwealth Attorney is going to decline to prosecute the charges again, and that Tad decides to argue the case on his own. Either way, I am confident I will win. Why? Because almost everything Tad has alleged in his complaint is both untrue, and not illegal. He literally made it up out of thin air. Which means he has no evidence.
Anyway, stay tuned! I will update the community as things happen.
Meanwhile, I’m headed to the Richmond Zoo this Saturday to feed giraffes! That event, with accompanying pictures will definitely be covered here.
At the end of this I will post the results of the latest batch of FOIA requests from the Sheriff’s Office. But I want to speak directly to, and about, Mr. Page first.
Disclaimer: This blog is, was, and always will be “life as I see it”. My thoughts and opinions. Thus, no matter how much he hates it, I am entitled to my opinion, and this is therefor NOT defamation.
I want to be clear about something else. These posts I write are also not defamation because they are all true. As any person with a double digit IQ can ascertain. I am posting Mr. Page’s own words, the words of other people he interacts with, and the results of his actions. Sure, I sprinkle in some unkind commentary, but that doesn’t change the facts.
Mr. Page states in writing, nearly every time he mentions my name, that I publish lies about him. So here is the challenge. I stated in writing, in an email to Mr. Page’s attorney, that if Mr. Page wished to send me a list of the things I’ve said that were untrue, and facts to back up that claim, then I would publicly retract those comments and issue a public apology. Mr. Page has in the past attempted to threaten me in the comments section, so we all know that he knows how to find it. So…Tad…if I’m lying, all you have to do is correct the record. But you can’t, because I’m not, and we both know it.
Anyway, below are the latest emails between Tad and members of the Sheriff’s Office. In them, as usual, he claims that other people are doing everything that he is actually doing. He lies about the placement of a sign which he claims was put up to block a light that shines into his home…with the problem being that the sign was nowhere near being in between the light and his house. He bitches to the sheriff’s office about zoning; relates the same tired shit about Jimmy’s criminal history; you know…regular old Tad.
Well here are some more facts for everyone.
Tad has two stalking charges pending. They were filed by a detective and the CA intends to prosecute the case.
Tad has a defamation lawsuit filed against him by Jimmy.
Tad has a Preliminary Protective Order against him, which is set to expire the day after his arraignment, but I understand that an attempt will be made to keep it in place until the case is adjudicated.
Tad is under investigation by the DEQ in conjunction with the Office of the Inspector General for time fraud (and as the investigation continues who knows what else might pop up.) I do know that a person from the County was speaking to a person from the DEQ and informed them that Tad had been arrested for stalking. The DEQ was unaware of this fact. So he apparently felt no need to inform his employer…but they know anyway.
There are rumors that the county is considering suing him for the harassment of their employees and the wasting of resources. I hope they do. I want Mr. Page to need both criminal defense representation and civil representation…repeatedly. I want him to experience what it feels like to have legal expenses because of someone else. As he has tried to weaponize the legal system against both Jimmy and myself for several years now. But, more importantly, I hope he spends a bunch of money on an attorney and then loses anyway.
The detective’s investigation is still ongoing, additional charges may be pending. Yes Tad, I hope with all my heart that you catch a felony, and are convicted, so that I can spend the next 20 years telling everyone in the county that Tadric Wallace Page is a convicted felon…just like you currently do to Jimmy. But my hopes don’t make charges appear, evidence does. So me stating that I hope you are charged, and you being charged, have nothing to do with each other (moron).
Man…I bet it must be frustrating. You wrote all this shit to various people, especially the Sheriff, and then just two weeks later the cops rolled up in your driveway and arrested you anyway. Because you still don’t get it. You’ve worn out your welcome. You’ve taxed the patience of every department of government in this county. No one believes you anymore.
There are a couple more lawsuits and possible other consequences coming down the pike. But here is the bottom line. The detective is going to file a report with the Commonwealth’s Attorney. She has talked to all of the people that Tad has talked to; read the FOIA requests; read the emails; talked to witnesses; and I believe she has even read parts of this blog. All of the compiled information will wind up in her report. If I am able to get it, I will publish it here.
The report will no doubt be lengthy, but without even reading it I can summarize it here for you, in advance.
“Doug was right about everything. Tad is a liar. Tad should go to jail.” You know…or words to that effect.
Now…if I’m lying about any of that… I challenge Mr. Page to prove it. But I don’t expect he will, because I know in advance he can’t. But judgement day is coming! People in official positions are about to weigh in, some of them with the power to make life altering decisions. Get ready Tadric! Because the facts, the truth, the community, the county, and I dare say Jesus, are all on our side.
My hopes have never been secret. I want Tad to lose his job; lose three lawsuits and be forced into bankruptcy; be convicted of one or more crimes resulting in a 2 year protection order and the confiscation of all of his guns; eventually lose his house and (in a perfect world) his wife; and wind up a homeless turd, sitting on a park bench, with passers by occasionally hearing him mumble something about “Goddamn Brewer and Hayes”. Right there, out in the open, that’s what I want.
But a brief review of the records will reveal that I have filed no charges or suits against Mr. Page. I have made no calls for service to the Sheriff. I have written no complaints to the county. All I have ever done is sit here and accurately report what is happening and then give you all my opinion about those facts. But Tad cannot get me off his mind. I am that shadow that scares him in the corner of the room at midnight. Apparently, before he goes to sleep, he checks under the bed for…me. lol And that’s fine. In fact, that’s perfect.
Before “fuck around, find out” became popular a buddy of mine used to say, “fuck around, get dealt with”. Tad fucked around. Now he’s being dealt with. Simple as that.
Here are the latest missives from a clearly troubled man, who thinks he is bringing some kind of harm to people he dislikes, but is actually just digging himself deeper into a hole he appears unable to see. SMH
Note: I redacted some personal, and irrelevant information that Mr. Page enjoys sharing, because it is hurtful to Jimmy’s parents. Because I have class and Tad does not.
The most hilarious part is where he claims we are systematically harassing him and his wife. Every interaction I can recall, of any kind, between myself or Jimmy with Mr. Page, has been in response to something Mr. Page has done. The “systematic harassment” has all been coming from him. He knows it, and so do we. I know for sure the County knows it, and I believe the police are figuring it out as we speak.
So keep crying wolf Tad. I find it endlessly entertaining!
Oh yeah, one last thing. According to everyone we have talked to, Tad has gone radio silent since his arrest. No calls or emails, to anyone, about anything. lol Maybe he is finally confronting reality. We shall see.
Disclaimer: Facts, followed by my opinion as usual. Tad can kiss my ass…as usual.
First of all I want to dispense the facts to you dear readers. Here are the documents produced as a result of Tadric Page’s visit to the Magistrate last night.
I want to draw your attention (and perhaps Tad’s attention if he is reading this) to the name in the “complainant” box. Jacques, R. Not Jimmy Hayes. Not Sarah Hayes. Not Doug Brewer. Let me explain briefly what that means.
In the Commonwealth of Virginia any person can go down to a Magistrate, swear out a complaint, and file misdemeanor (not felony) charges against anyone else. The Commonwealth’s Attorney can then decide whether they wish to prosecute the case or not. If they choose not to prosecute, the individual who filed the charges can prosecute the case themselves. Though I don’t imagine that results in a successful conviction very often.
This is what Tadric Page has done. Twice now to me, and once to Jimmy. I still have one matter pending, which is based on complete fabrications and outright perjury; but the other two cases were dismissed.
What Tad has going on here is completely different. In this case the person who is listed as the complainant is a Detective with the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office, and those charges were filed at the direction of the Commonwealth’s Attorney. So he is facing real charges, by real members of law enforcement; and I do not imagine they pursue these types of cases if they do not believe they have enough evidence to win them.
Tad is also about to be (or perhaps already has been) served with a Preliminary Protective Order that is good through his arraignment date.
On Monday (or thereabouts) he is also going to be served with a lawsuit.
There are three or four other actions in the works, but I’m not going to get into any of that until official results are in. But stay tuned, it’s gonna get better!
In short, all of the things Mr. Page loves to tell people about me; that I’ve been arrested, sued, had a Protective Order placed against me…are all true of him now. Let us see how well he handles the shoe being on the other foot.
I have it on good authority that cameras outside the Magistrate’s Office caught Mr. Page pacing about, flailing his arms and acting (and I quote) “distraught”, while waiting with the arresting officers to be escorted in to the building. I hope to get that footage, as well as the body cam footage of his arrest, soon.
Mr. Page has, for two and a half years, conducted an unrelenting campaign of persecution against the Hayes family. When I took offense to his activities he sought to silence me as well by the fraudulent use of the courts and local law enforcement. In the process Mr. Page has made accusations against many people, at a multitude of agencies, involving everything from dereliction of duty to (now) anti Semitism.
He has no friends. No allies. No good will. No political capital. It’s just him, against everyone. The list of people who are not only expecting to be subpoenaed to testify against him, but looking forward to it, is long. I am one of them.
Mr. Page, who I imagine has been a bully most of his adult life, after what I can only imagine was a rough childhood as a kid named Tadric, tried what has worked for him on (I am sure) many occasions. He simply failed to take one thing in to account. He messed with people who will not be bullied.
I will admit up front, I am not unbiased. I am not simply reporting things I believe my community will find interesting. I am gleefully watching as Mr. Page brings about his own destruction, and capturing as much of it as possible on video so I can watch it over and over again. There is a lot more coming. These misdemeanor charges are the least of his worries. I for one cannot wait! Because he brought this on himself, and he deserves it.
This started out as a struggle between Tad and Jimmy. It still is with regard to all of these legal proceedings. Jimmy will do whatever it is that he is going to do, and he will stop when he is satisfied with the outcome. I will be content, and consider this over, when Mr. Page’s entire life is a steaming pile of rubble. When no one will take his calls and his emails are marked as spam. When his name is a punchline. When nailing your own nuts to a wall with a 16 penny nail and a 16 ounce hammer is listed in the urban dictionary as “Pulling a Tadric”.
I am happy to report to those members of what I refer to as the Elys Ford Community that Tadric Wallace Page was in fact arrested at about 2:30 p.m. today. I witnessed, along with a small group of other folks, three cop cars pull into his driveway, and pull back out approximately 4 minutes later with Tad inside one of them. So he got the full treatment, which he very well deserves. I will have more information regarding the charges, body cam footage, etc., in the coming days. So stay tuned!
I must apologize in advance for what is to follow. It is, of necessity, going to be a long one. Mr. Page has apparently stopped reading my blog, and was therefor unaware that he has been under investigation for the last couple of weeks. That, or he did not care. Either way, being the busy beaver that he is, he wrote an epic email directly to our Deputy County Administrator Sunday night. It was simply too much to let go, so I present it below. I will be posting it here in snips so that I might add my usual keen insights to the various sections. However, I will present the letter in its’ entirety, with no edits, exactly as I received it.
Disclaimer: What follows is Tadric Page, in his own words, making an ass of himself (in my opinion). Interspersed you will find my thoughts and feelings (opinions) on the Assclownery. Thus making this an opinion piece, and not subject to Tad’s litigious tendencies.
Here we go:
So, in the first two sentences we have Tad doing…what? Asking for a quid pro quo? Looking for some special consideration in exchange for past campaign contributions? Attempting (poorly) to bribe or blackmail a public official? It certainly seems it can at least be construed that way.
In the second section Tad goes on again about a subject that has already been explained to him. However, I will try one more time to explain it to him. I know in advance he won’t get it. But, you will.
The difference Tad is that the store is not preparing food and then providing people a place to sit and eat it. The store has seating, which you perfectly well know is occupied by members of the community 7 days a week. Rain or shine there is almost always someone sitting on the porch at Jimmy’s. When the food trucks show up, most of their patrons purchase their food and leave. Some take a plate over to a chair and sit down to eat it. What exactly is Jimmy or Sarah supposed to do? Walk up and down the porch yelling at people about the Code of Virginia and telling them to leave? lol If that’s how things were going to be the place would be called Tadric’s Stop and Shop, and it would have gone out of business years ago.
With regard to parking of vehicles, I will freely admit that I do sometimes park at the house and walk across to the store, as do a few others. That is because I am not there for the food truck, or to patronize the store. I am there to meet the people. I intend to stay all or most of the day, and I may or may not buy anything. I do not want to use up one of the limited parking spaces that paying customers can use…so I don’t. Deal with it.
Here, once again, Mr. Page makes allusions and allegations regarding people he does not know, and circumstances he does not understand, to people who do not care, because they work in zoning not law enforcement. He loves to blather on about how Jimmy is a felon, and how I’ve been arrested (don’t worry, my name is coming). However, though it is none of anyone else’s business, let me set the record straight (because Tad is, as usual, either terminally stupid or cunningly deceitful).
First, Jimmy’s brother and whatever crimes he may have committed in the past, have nothing to do with the operation of the store.
Second, he did not rape a little girl, and the girl in question was not a family member.
Third, Jimmy made an offhand comment and a preliminary protective order was in fact issued. However, when it was adjudicated the matter was explained, settled, and the protective order was dropped. Just like the various protective orders Mr. Page has gotten, that were not upheld in court.
Lastly, it might interest all of you, and it should interest Tad, to know that the mother of the two children is not pleased that Tad obtained records he should not have had, which revealed their personally identifiable information, and then related that information to a third party without her consent. She is currently reviewing what charges she may bring against Mr. Page for revealing the identities of minor victims of a crime. Revealing that information to Mr. Page appears to be a violation of The Code of Virginia § 16.1-301 on the part of whomever gave it to him, and Mr. Page further transmitting it may well be a crime also.
So parking, eating, blah, blah, blah. Then a demand in all caps that the County inspect the store when the food trucks are in operation. What Mr. Page appears to be unaware of is the fact that the food trucks have been alternating between Fridays and Saturdays, and that various members of zoning and code compliance have actually come to some of the events. So they have actually been inspected while the food trucks were in operation.
First of all, the store was originally classified as a General Store, and more recently misclassified as a Convenience Store. That is being corrected. The change in status (or really what amounts to the fixing of an error) will change the rules the store has been operating under (incorrectly) for the last several years, and invalidate much of Mr. Page’s passionate but misguided pursuit of the proprietors of Jimmy’s Stop and Shop.
Second, a brief look at Tad’s own criminal history, his yelp reviews (published here) of other local businesses, testimony of other local residents, and some rumors I have heard (but not verified) from former co-workers at the DEQ. reveals that Tad has not lived in harmony with ANYONE for 20 years. Period.
Then back we go to the “well known to law enforcement” bullshit. Well Tad…guess who else is well known to law enforcement. And code compliance. And the Fire Marshall. And ABC. And now the County Administrator…and the Commonwealth’s Attorney. lol
Tad…as another citizen of Spotsylvania County, I am asking that you shut the fuck up! But since that is clearly not going to happen, let me address your three demands.
Jimmy doesn’t share in the profits. He has the food trucks out to support other local businesses and to give the community events to look forward to. In fact, the only event we all look forward to more than the trucks is the day you move out.
The chairs and tables are there 24/7 as explained previously, and you were already informed in an email posted here recently, that food purchased outside the store may be consumed outside the store. Jimmy’s is just prohibited from preparing and selling food to be consumed on site.
No. And the customers don’t park there.
I will let Dena respond to the part concerning conversations between herself and Mr. Page as I was not privy to them. However, I will directly address the last part.
I have not in fact obtained countless documents from the county. I have only obtained about 4 or so documents from the county. All the rest of the documents I have obtained I have obtained via copies of FOIA requests filed by others. You are paying $200 because you have become a terrible pain in the ass, a disrespectful clown, and a person who wasted the time of county personnel, and the money of the taxpayers who pay their salaries, by asking the same fucking questions over and over again. I am paying nothing because I make modest requests, on an infrequent basis, and I am always polite and respectful.
Saying, “with all due respect” before you accuse people of nepotism, incompetence, complacence and/or collusion…doesn’t really cut it. Here is the perfect example:
SMH…where to start?
*IF* Tadric Page is Jewish, how does he imagine anyone is, was, or could become aware of that? He’s a white guy named Page. Not exactly a well known Jewish name. By his own admission he attends a Baptist Church. Though if Tad is an example of the type of person they are turning out, something is very wrong at the Baptist Church.
So this is once again Tadric Page pulling some bullshit out of thin air and seeing if he can make it stick. He likely saw news reports of pro-Palestinian protestors on T.V. and said to himself, “That’s it! I’ll tell them I’m Jewish!”
He then goes on to say (essentially) did all you guys and gals down at the County happen to run into Hayes and/or Brewer at a Klan meeting in the last year or two? Because it appears they hate Jews, and I’m just speculating that that hatred might be the common bond between you and them (with all due respect).
My wife is a person of faith. Sarah is a person of faith. The only grown ass man walking around today for whom I have life-long and unwavering respect, is Pastor Terry Swiney. I meet with him and his wife along with the rest of my family, every 90 days for lunch in Fredericksburg. I have done so for many years now, and will continue to do so until one of us leaves this planet. My brother-in-law was a practicing Jew before he died, and my sister by virtue of marrying him became one as well. Mr. Page’s allegations are not only patently absurd, they are baseless, moronic, and stupid. I would have said they are beneath him, but I have come to believe that nothing is in fact beneath him.
Not that I owe an explanation of any of this to Tadric Page. I am simply relating these facts because they illustrate what a true clown this man is. They also seem to present some sort of case for slander, libel, or defamation IMHO.
Yes, Jimmy is taking down the fence that Jimmy put up. Mainly because Tad uses it to hide behind while attempting to spy on the goings on next door and across the street. But to be honest…he doesn’t need a reason. It’s his fence. He paid to put it up, and he can damn well tear it down. But let me say this…if a 10 foot fence would solve your problems…BUILD ONE and STFU!
LMFAO! Yeah Tad…take the case all the way to the Supreme Court! What a clown…
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that no one, from any agency, including the one you work for, ever wants to meet with you face to face.
That said, the measure of MY resolve is great, and I told you how this is going to end. You are right about one thing though, you’re not going to give your home up to Jimmy. I told you two years ago…I’m going to rent it out to a Section 8 family and raise goats in your corral. And that’s what’s going to happen. You are in fact leaving, it’s just a matter of when.
I do love how he ends it. “Sincerely and Respectfully”. Wow!
Yeah…sincerely and respectfully, you incompetent, Jew hating, utter failure who refuses to do your job (which in Tad’s view is to adjudicate every situation in his favor).
Let me end with this. Tad spent the last two years filing fraudulent reports, charges, law suits, etc., against both Jimmy Hayes and myself. He has cost us both money (though it’s not a huge deal because we both have money) but he has done much of it for free simply as a means of harassing us. That time is over. Nothing is free anymore. And if Tad thinks this afternoon sucked, sitting in a squad car, and then the Magistrate’s Office from about 2:30 until about 9 pm… just hold on. The shit storm is just getting started.
The next several blogs on this subject will be titled under this heading. I will update information I believe the community has an interest in as it becomes available. I am suspending my usual practice of adding commentary and treating this subject as strictly the reporting of news. I will return to my normal format once matters are settled.
I have it on good (official) authority that Mr. Page is currently facing two charges of Stalking. One against Sarah Hayes, and one against Jimmy Hayes. These charges are being brought by the Commonwealth’s Attorney Office, and the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office has been directed to arrest Tadric Page. The warrants were signed by a Magistrate with the “not permitted” box checked, meaning Tad will not be issued a summons. He is going to be placed in cuffs, put in the back of a squad car, and taken to the Magistrate’s Office.
There are additional charges possible, as well as several other actions I am aware of. However, I am not going to write about those things at this time. I will wait until things are officially filed and on the record before posting them here for the community to read.
I do intend to appear in court every time Mr. Page does, and to report here in this blog what happened at those appearances.
Disclaimer: What follows is, as usual, my opinions regarding factual information, which is backed up in the form of official documents and/or video. The blog is called “The Real Deal: Life As I See It”. The clue is in the title. Tad can continue to kiss my ass.
If you have been following the ongoing saga of Tadric Page for any length of time, you are aware that he has waged an unrelenting campaign of harassment against the Hayes family and Jimmy’s Stop and Shop. He drew me in to the conflict by sending my post “Redneck Rescue 2022” to the county government as “evidence” of wrongdoing. Mr. Page, apparently unused to being told no (except by his wife), decided he was going to teach me a lesson. That hasn’t worked out well for him. To be honest, that hasn’t worked out well for anyone…ever.
In any event, it has been fairly common for members of the community who stop by the store to echo each other in expressing a couple of (imho) reasonable sentiments. Those being that Mr. Page must have some form of mental abnormality or disorder, and that something needs to be done to stop this man. I have heard these two things literally hundreds of times now.
Over the course of the last two years I have joked that I have become “the paper of record” for our community. In some sense this is true. Mr. Page once promised he would make me famous. This has been, to date, the only promise I am aware of that he has ever made and kept. I have in fact become a bit of a local celebrity, as people I have never met come up to me on the porch at Jimmy’s and say, “You’re the blog guy right?” Apparently at least some of them get almost as much pleasure out of reading my posts as I do from writing them. This fact brings me joy.
I sit down to write this morning with good tidings of great joy! After Tad had me arrested on Friday I guess the Hayes family finally had enough. Jimmy and Sarah decided it was time to do not just “something”, but everything. All at once.
I will have more details, documents, hopefully video, and insights to relate in a future post. But I wanted to let the community know what is happening as soon as possible, because it is my ultimate goal to spread happiness and joy, and I know this news will do these things.
Jimmy and Sarah swore out a complaint against Tadric Page for stalking. Upon presenting it to a Magistrate, the Magistrate become so alarmed by what he was reading that he summoned a detective. As a result Mr. Page is now under investigation by a Detective from the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office. Personally, I hope (as I imagine many of you do) that the investigation finds felony charges are warranted, and that Mr. Page finally pays the price for the persecution the Hayes family has had to endure.
Not to mention the fact that he has had me arrested twice, filed three lawsuits against me, and turned another customer of the store in to the Zoning and Code Enforcement folks because of “suspicions he had” about their business. Turns out, he was wrong as usual.
In addition, Jimmy is in the process of filing two lawsuits. One on behalf of himself for defamation, the other on behalf of Sarah and the store for Tad’s outrageous behavior which Jimmy says he can prove has cost him customers and sales. Those will both be filed in General District Court, and both are for the maximum amount allowed in District Court, which is $25,000.
But wait…it gets better. Many of us have long suspected that given the volume of complaints filed by Mr. Page, along with the many emails, letters, signs, etc., that he must be performing at least some of these activities during working hours. In other words, while he is on the clock as a State employee. Jimmy and Sarah sent a request to the State Attorney General’s Office requesting that they investigate whether time fraud has been/is being committed by Mr. Page. They have agreed, and an investigation has begun.
Lastly, the Detective I mentioned before is combing through all of the various complaints, FOIA requests, Police reports, etc. She is investigating whether any other crimes appear to have been committed, and whether any other charges are warranted. Fortunately, between the Hayes family and myself, there is literally a mountain of evidence to go through. Official documents, court testimony, affidavits, etc. Believing, as I do, that Tad is not what you might call a smart man, I find it unlikely he has kept his story straight all this time. In fact, I have documented multiple lies on multiple occasions.
Bottom line is this. Other than that time he came home early from work and found his wife being double teamed by two guys from her office, this is likely to be the worst week of Tadric Page’s life. (And no, I don’t know for sure about that wife thing…I’m just guessing).
Mr. Page is a State employee. He is an Inspector with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. I am certain he is used to hopping out of his truck, walking around a site like Vince McMahon headed to the ring, flashing his badge, and watching those folks he thinks of as “peasants”, tremble at his authority. If there has ever been a guy who said, “Do you know who I am”, I am certain it was Tad.
His problem is that he fucked around with the wrong people, and now he’s about to find out. If all goes well; if there is a God; if justice still exists in the Commonwealth of Virginia; Mr. Page will lose his job, he will lose his money, he will lose his home, and maybe even his wife. If things turn out as I hope they will, he will wind up on a park bench somewhere dropping bread crumbs for pigeons and mumbling to himself, “Never shoulda fucked with those people”.
Honestly though, my hope is much simpler and smaller than that. I just want Tad to understand that this shit aint free anymore. You aren’t going to cost me thousands in legal fees while you sit there paying nothing, over and over again. From now on, if we’re spending money, so is he. I’m cool with that, because if you want to go toe to toe with me in the dollars department, I’ll win.
But I want to be clear. These are MY feelings. At the end of the day the Hayes family just wants to be left alone to run their business and enjoy their community. I am more of a “war is the answer” kind of guy. I believe, as my father told me, that if you let one person take your lunch money, you’ll never eat lunch again. So I have to establish, as I have had to do in the past, that I am not someone you should screw with. That is what I aim to do, and what I hope comes out of all of this.
So we shall see, and YOU shall see. Because everything that happens will be reported here, and all the documents I am legally allowed to obtain will be published here too. Because it is my wish to return Mr. Page’s favor and make him famous too.
I told Mr. Page once that before you pick a fight with someone it is wise to find out who their friends are. He didn’t listen. Instead, he chose to fuck around. Now he’s finding out.
Now he is under multiple investigations. His name is being spoken all over the county this afternoon, and not because everyone likes him. Now the members of local law enforcement, the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, County Government, The State Attorney General, PetSmart, UPS, and the trash guy all know what kind of man Tadric Page is. Which is precisely what I told him would happen two years ago.
I know it’s hard to believe. Trust me, I know. But Tadric Page has once again taken his bullshit to a Magistrate and found someone willing to sign an arrest warrant based on nonsense. I will post the documentation below so that you can read it for yourself, and then I have some comments.
As is always the case, it’s difficult to know where to begin with Tad. So I guess I’ll just start at the top and hit the highlights.
As is his well documented history, Mr. Page only tells half the story in the first handwritten portion of his complaint. Mr. Page swore out a complaint for harassment, and the Commonwealth declined to prosecute. Mr. Page filed a request for a Protection Order, which was dismissed by a judge. Mr. Page filed a complaint with the Virginia State Police. They conducted an investigation, turned over their report to the Commonwealth’s Attorney, and they decided no charges were warranted. Mr. Page has filed suit against me several times, and non-suited his complaint on each occasion. His attorney did send me a cease and desist letter…but so what? You can pay your attorney to send anything you want to anyone you want.
I was in fact captured on video posing next to a sign feet from his property. What he doesn’t mention is that “feet from his property” can also be described as “in Jimmy’s back yard”. I was there with Jimmy, and another friend, and that friend’s children.
I have never sent Mr. Page an unsolicited email. I have only ever sent him an email in response to unsolicited emails he sent to me. The last time that happened would have been about 2 years ago.
On or about 4/13 I did in fact “drive by” his house twice. I rode past the store, realized too late to stop that I needed to speak to Jimmy, pulled in to the next driveway (which is across the street from Mr. Page’s house) and turned around to go back to the store. At no point did I even see, much less stare at Mr. Page.
I have in fact NEVER stared at Mr. Page. Not in my car, not on foot, not at any time of the day or night, for any reason, under any circumstances. The full extent of my interaction (or lack thereof) with Mr. Page takes place right here in this blog.
I have, from time to time, waved in the general direction of Mr. Page’s property because I know he has cameras recording everything everyone is doing in the general vicinity of his residence. I have never personally seen the man outside his house and waved at him personally.
The part about me looking up at him on his porch and waving in a threatening manner is a complete fabrication. The part about me driving by his home slowly while cars behind me honked is also a complete fabrication. Neither of these events happened. Period.
Mr. Page has claimed repeatedly for two straight years now to be in fear for his life from both myself and Jimmy. Meanwhile, he posts signs in public view meant to incite Mr. Hayes, he gives members of the Hayes family the finger whenever he sees them outside, and he continuously files false charges and lawsuits against both Jimmy Hayes and myself. These are hardly the actions of a man who is living in fear for his life.
Mr. Page lives on the only road in to and out of the community in which I live. I have no choice but to drive by his home when I am coming or going. I did in fact drive past his home at 7 a.m. on April 13th. I remember it because he was operating a riding mower right beside the road, and he was wearing a reflective safety vest. I slowed down because Mr. Page lives on a curve AND he was directly adjacent to the road (which has no shoulder). I did not slow “to a near stop”, and because I was approaching Mr. Page as he was facing away from me, it is not even physically possible that I “stared him down”.
At no time in my entire life have there ever been cars behind me beeping because I was moving too slow. I have never slowed or stopped near Mr. Page’s property except to safely navigate the curve he lives on, and I have never stared at him. Not ever.
I live approximately 1.5 miles from Mr. Page’s home. He lives about 150 yards or so from the local country store that I frequent, and directly adjacent to the home of a good friend of mine. I am never anywhere near Mr. Page’s home for any reason other than these two facts.
I have never stalked Mr. Page. I have never threatened Mr. Page. I have never met Mr. Page. I have never spoken to Mr. Page. In fact, I have never seen Mr. Page outside his home with the exception of the one or two times I have driven past his house while he was mowing his lawn, and the numerous times we’ve been to court.
Mr. Page has spent the last two years filing frivolous lawsuits and false criminal charges against James Hayes and myself. He has had all of his criminal charges dismissed and his lawsuits have been non-suited. What Mr. Page is doing is using the legal system to force Mr. Hayes and myself to hire attorneys and impose what amounts to fines against us in furtherance of his personal vendetta.
I am calling on the Magistrate’s Office to stop granting these nonsensical arrest warrants. If you boil this most recent complain down, and take it at face value, what has happened here is that waving at someone has become a criminal offense. I say that after having explained that most of his complaint is concocted, and that Mr. Page has in fact, once again, perjured himself in writing on an official court document.
I am not the type of person who generally allows people like Tadric Page to win. But I am also not the type of person to throw my money down the toilet. I have spent the last two years defending a friend and a local business from a bully who has done everything he can think of to shut them down. In the end, I have spent thousands of dollars on legal fees, been arrested twice, and spent more than a few hours with elevated blood pressure. Nothing has been accomplished. No one is willing to do anything to stop this man. So I am just pissing in the wind. I am about at the point where I am ready to walk away.
Tip O’neill is widely credited with this saying, though he did not originate it. According to Texas.gov this is what it means.
“The importance of airing positive constituent casework during campaigns is a testament to the accuracy of saying, “All politics is local.” This phrase, attributed to former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill (D-MA), essentially means that the most important motivations directing voters are rooted in local concerns.”
There was a point in time when I would have agreed with this. I did in fact hear someone make this very point this weekend at an event I attended at Jimmy’s Stop and Shop. But, I believe that person was wrong.
If the federal government is spying on me; if they are trying to deny me my Second Amendment rights; if they are sending my children off to foreign wars; if they are passing laws restricting what I can say and where I can say it; if the members of one party are using the institutions of government to prosecute their opponents in the other party; in short if the United States is slowly but surely beginning to more closely resemble the places people have historically come here to escape; then it really doesn’t matter much if my property taxes went up $50. That is how I see it.
I spent a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon speaking to Cameron Hamilton. He is, among other things, a former Navy SEAL who is running to represent the 7th District of Virginia in the U.S. Congress. I left that event impressed, and I wanted to take a few moments to tell you why.
Let me start with this. I have had the honor of meeting a few Special Forces guys over the course of my life. If you grew up watching Rambo and other such over the top movie portrayals of these guys, the first thing you think when you meet one in real life is…he just looks like a regular dude. If you are particularly cocky you may even think, “Hell, I could probably take this guy.” Who knows…maybe you could.
What sets these people apart, in my experience, is not that they can beat you up. It’s not that they are all built like Sylvester Stallone. It’s not that they are, to quote Colonel Troutman, ” An expert in guerrilla warfare, a man who’s the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who’s been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke…” All of the SF guys I’ve ever known laugh at this kind of stuff.
If you’ve ever watched any of the small number of documentaries on BUDS and in particular Hell Week, you know what sets SEALS apart. The top guys from all over the military come to SEAL training, and 75 to 80 percent of them don’t make it. Because, in the end, it’s not about how big your arms are, or how fast you can run, or even whether you can take on a UFC fighter and beat him in the cage. It’s about how much heart you have, how much you’re willing to sacrifice for the team, how far past what you thought were your limits you are willing to push yourself. It’s about enduring things that would have the rest of us curled up in the fetal position, and then getting up tomorrow and doing it again. For the love of country. For the brothers that are counting on you. For the people back home that cannot do what you are doing, and need you to do it for them.
In my opinion, THAT is the “Special” in Special Forces.
In the environment in which we currently find ourselves in this nation, these are the types of men and women we need to send to Washington to represent us. People who cannot be bought. People who cannot be intimidated. People who’ve been there and done that, got the tee-shirt, and are willing to do it again.
Mr. Hamilton spoke at length about his positions on a wide range of topics. I don’t want to get into a lot of detail because I may mischaracterize a nuanced position of his, and I don’t want to do that. What I took away from the conversation is that this is a man who is running because he sees a job that needs to be done, and he’s willing to do it. He’s running to add his voice to a growing number of constitutional conservatives that are willing to push back against an ever growing, overreaching, abusive federal government. He’s running because a friend and fellow SF guy, who is currently serving in the Virginia House, asked him to. Because once again his nation, and his brothers, need him.
He didn’t talk to us about how much money he could bring home to the district. He didn’t talk to us about the ringing bells and clanging symbols that the media and the Democrat Party use to keep us distracted. He talked to us about U.S. intervention in foreign conflicts; abuses of FISA; Second Amendment issues; Constitutional Conservatism; and other such high level issues. The ones with the power to cause your children to grow up in a country that in no way resembles the one your parents grew up in.
He told us he has been endorsed by Rand Paul. A man I personally hold in high regard. He said that the last question Senator Paul asked him before agreeing to endorse him was, if he was faced with a vote where voting his conscience would cost him his seat, would he do it anyway. His answer was yes.
That is integrity. That is something that folks around my way have, and appreciate, but is sorely lacking in Washington D.C.
He told me something I have never heard from a politician before. He said to me, “I have a fiduciary responsibility to represent your interests, not mine”. Holy Crap! Imagine that! Someone who gets it.
Just to bring this around full circle I will say this. If you grew up around rough people, like I did, you learned early on to identify the sheep and the wolves at a distance. It is never about how loud you talk, or what you say. It’s about the little flash of light just behind the eyes, often hiding behind a smile, that let’s you know (if you know what you’re looking at) that this is not someone you should screw with. Mr. Hamilton has that light in his eyes.
When I got home I told my daughters, “You just spent two hours with one of the baddest dudes on the planet. That dude could kill you with a plastic spoon.” lol Though I know without question that he would never say that.
But that’s who we need. We need someone who can look at Hakeem Jeffries, or Mike Johnson, or anyone else who is saying some form of, “You need to get with the program or things could get rough around here for you”, and look them right in the eye and say, “You have no idea what ‘rough’ even means”.
He’s got my vote. In my humble opinion he deserves yours too. If you get the chance go hear him speak, and then get out and vote! The time for hoping things will work out is over. We have to do our part to save this country, and it starts with sending people like Cameron Hamilton to Congress.

I will keep this brief as I have already written about both of these events. But as I was speaking to my wife this morning I mentioned to her that the thing I like best about Tadric Page is that you don’t actually have to say or do anything. He clowns himself every day. And so, since a picture is worth a thousands words…
For those of you who are new to Tad, he likes to make a few things clear to everyone he speaks to. Deputies in particular, but also code compliance officers, zoning folks, the UPS guy…you name it. Those things are that Jimmy is a multiple time felon, and that Tad has lived in his house for 20 years. He literally says these two things almost every time he writes or speaks.
In any event, the response to the light complaint is too funny not to share. Deputy Walker showing up for a noise complaint where a bunch of middle aged men are standing around with their kids visiting with Santa Claus was also good stuff.
Here is life on Elys Ford Road, with Tadric Page as a neighbor.
Disclaimer: As always, facts along with my opinions regarding those facts. Tad can continue to kiss my ass.
I have to say, in all my years I have never met a person as strongly committed to hitting themselves in the nuts with the peen end of a ball peen hammer as Tadric Page. With each passing day his unhinged ranting gets crazier. I’m starting to wonder when someone is going to take seriously the notion that Tad may be a danger to himself or others. I know for a fact he has firearms, and in my opinion that should make everyone on Elys Ford Road nervous. Especially given his history.
In any event, here is his latest text to James Rogerson. Sent this very evening as I was sitting on the porch at Jimmy’s, enjoying some milk and cookies.
Here is the video to which he is referring. In it I am leaning against a car while a mutual friend takes a picture of me. We are standing in Jimmy’s yard, minding our own business. Turdric happens (at the time) to have a camera pointed through a gap in the fence, into Jimmy’s yard, and captures our “nefarious” activities.
Now, on to my commentary.
First I would like to point out the obvious. Turdric sent a request to James Rogerson to “keep the criminals on his side of the road”. What exactly is James supposed to do? Is he supposed to tell Jimmy that he is prohibitted from going across the street to the house he owns? lol This appears to be yet another in a long list of fairly basic things that the Virginia DEQ’s “sterling” employee struggles to understand. JIMMY OWNS THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR! There is nothing that Turdric Page, or James Rogerson, can do about that. Period.
He claims to have sent this video to the Sheriff “and others”. I’d be willing to bet that’s a lie. But to be honest I hope it’s true. I hope Turd actually sent a video of his neighbor and some friends walking around in the neighbor’s yard, referred to what they were doing as “deranged activities”, and tearfully requested assistance because he fears for his life. I suspect that is possible, because he immediately took down the camera, and all the signs meant to provoke Jimmy that he had posted in previous weeks.
I hope that’s all true because if it is then Turd is doing exactly what I want him to do. Thoroughly and utterly destroying his own reputation with every member of County government and law enforcement. Thus, making my job so much easier.
For those only reading casually, please note the following. Turd knows where Jimmy was before his wife was feeding the horses. He knows where Jimmy was while she was feeding the horses. He knows where Jimmy was, and who he was talking to, and apparently what they were talking about, after she came back inside. But Jimmy is the one who is stalking Turd… according to Turd.
Let me try to clear this up for Turdric, in case he is reading this. Dude…your wife isn’t exactly worth staring at. Know what I mean? Of course you know what I mean. I suspect that’s why you keep the lights off over there all the time.
So what Jimmy was actually doing was sitting on his own back porch, taking in the view. As he is well within his rights to do. The fact that your wife was outside feeding the horses really didn’t have anything to do with anything. From time to time you and he will be outside at the same time. I guess you’re going to have to learn to deal with it.
Answer me this, if you can. What kind of grown ass man believes another man is…what,”spying on”, “stalking”, or “staring at” his wife…for 15 minutes…and doesn’t say or do a damn thing about it. Other than what Turd actually did, which was go inside and leave his wife out in the yard alone. One stuggles to understand what this woman sees, or ever saw, in the apparent piece of shit she’s married to. Maybe that was just the best she could do. I don’t know.
Anyway, Jimmy and I didn’t have an intense conversation. It was just a regular conversation; and it wasn’t about Turd’s wife. But to summarize…
Walking across the street, sitting on your porch, and talking to a friend are all signs of “sick people”. Leaning against a car while a buddy takes your picture, is deranged. The Sheriff has been notified about these sick people and their deranged activities. And…precisely DICK happened. Except I imagine some Deputies had a good laugh at Turd’s expense.
The bottom line is this. I personally have had enough of the bullshit. It no longer has anything to do with Jimmy or his family insofar as I am concerned. He hangs a sign, I’m hanging a sign. He puts up a camera, I’m puttiing up a camera. I’m going to tit for tat his ass at every turn, just cuz I feel like it. And he’s going to keep calling the cops to complain about people doing the exact same thing he is doing, until they stop answering the phone. Meanwhile, I will sit on Jimmy’s porch drinking a Coke, eating some Doritos, and laughing at the clown across the street.
In the end, Jimmy is making friends in high places. State Senators, members of the County Council, U.S. Congressmen, the Commonwealth’s Attorney, the list goes on. People who frequent the store, see with their own eyes, hear with their own ears, and form their own opinions. People who judge a man by what he is doing, not what he once did. Which works out well for those of us on James’ side of the road. Because they are also judging Turd by what he is doing; and I gotta tell you buddy…it isn’t looking good.
I have created a new Youtube channel so that I can share video to this blog. I have alluded over these last two years to all manner of bodycam footage that was obtained via FOIA request. I may begin posting some of that as well, in the interests of transparency. We shall see.
