CHANGE of HEART

A supporter of Alamo's on the Fouke council is T.O. Hardin. He wasn't always a friend to the church. When they were caught stealing city water and illegally dumping their sewage, Hardin condemn the followers saying "they should have known better and they have nobody to blame but them selves." But something changed T.O.'s mind. He now votes the same as Alamo's "yes man" Ben Edwards on city business. But T.O. has a shady past and criminals stick together.
Hardin owns a auto/ junk yard located at his residence. After receiving help from ex- mayor Cecil Smith, T.O. was able to apply for and is now on disability for a bad back. He owns some of Fouke's run down rental houses. There has been several strange incidents surrounding Mr. Hardin that has affected several families in Fouke. Since facts began to fade over the years, some will be left out for now. What will be posted is as stated, the truth as we know it, from involved family members. It is a fact that he was questioned by authorities in the murder case of Monica Sanders, but was never charged with anything relating to that crime. Hardin's daughter, by his wife Pam Cox, was a good friend of Monica's. Some believe that if Monica had been with her friend Olean ( T.O.'s daughter) that night, she would not have been murdered. The mother of his children told that he locked her in a room at his shop and would not allow her to use the phone, or have any contact with the outside world. He forbid her to speak to her mother. She had two boys by T.O.and she got out. He was physically, mentally and verbally abusive to her. Laquita Moore said years ago, before Alamo got here, that T.O. was setting up towers around Fouke to be able to listen in to peoples homes. Well guess who showed up a few years later, listening in on the citizens? Laquita was called a mental case. It's been told by family members that he literally stalked, raped and drove her crazy. T.O. is now with Yvonne Robertson Bobo. When she was a young girl , of high school age, she told her family members that T.O. had sexually assaulted her. She did not go to the police. He has called the mayor a liar and insults him and citizens that attend the meetings if he gets angry. It upsets T.O. when citizens show up for the council meetings. He's been use to nobody being there watching him for so long, now he knows his every move is noticed. This is a man that needs to be voted out. Finding someone to run against him may be hard. One such candidate going against him, had their lug nuts loosened during a election in the past.

Con Men Hang Together

One of Tony Alamo's known associates Buster Leslie White was charged with selling counterfeit goods at his business in Texarkana. He has Federal charges against him. White told a room full of Fouke citizens that he was Alamo's co-pastor. Of course after his indictment, Alamo denied this, saying he was only a member of his church. He was recently seen giving the nightly services though.
Buster spends a lot of time traveling from Texarkana to Fouke visiting the church and his local best friend ex-mayor Cecil Smith. Probably going over their strategies for the upcoming elections.
Buster's trial date has been postponed numerous times but is now set for August. These delays are well practiced by Alamo and his fellow con artist.
Buster claimed in a radio broadcast that the FBI took thousands of dollars from his safe and had been watching his home. If his wife had any sense, she'd tell him to break off all ties to Tony Alamo, that the money was not worth it.
Buster claims that the government can take all his possessions but not his soul. What a man! Especially coming from someone who faces 20 years in prison.

Perverts Council

Cody Williams is from California but has spent most of his life in the Fouke area. He has 2 grown children from a previous marriage and is now married to a local who graduated from Fouke High. He works for a wireless cell company.There has been reported an assault taking place at Williams' home in Fouke. Officers from both Fouke and Miller County responded when a man that Cody invited to his home under false pretences arrived and was beaten with a bat or stick of some kind used as the weapon. Witnesses also reported a gun being held to the man's head at one point, but this has not been confirmed. While the man was seeking help, he left his truck at the Williams' where when he returned with authorities, it had been filled with water. No formal charges have yet to be filed to date.A strange incident involving Mr Williams last summer was he got possession of some papers nameing some Fouke residents as trouble makers because of unfavorable letters they had sent to the Gazette concerning Alamo Ministries. These papers also contained information on the challenging mayoral canidate. The papers contained their personal information and even told of one woman's son being killed. Cody said this information was left at his house so he took it to the local store with him to share. A couple of months later, copies of the same articles were left on the benches of the store. These papers contained 3 e-mail addresses; Tony Alamo, Alamo follower at the time Don Sweat ,and Alamo wife Lydia Willis. Cody's voting record has been 100 % with Ben Edwards.Williams has been seen by Fouke residents visiting Alamo's home. An ex-member who got out recently identified him as a regular. Nobody knows if his rewards could be underage females or money or both.

Pervert's Pon

No good con artist can suceed without the help of stupid people and people as dishonest as they are. Tony Alamo has these people to cover or run interference for him. First he had to get his nose into the operation of the city. So with the help of stupid people, getting one of his devoted followers on the council was just what he needed.Ben Edwards :Edwards join the Alamo Ministries as a teenager in it's early days in Saugus, California. In the late 70's he was moved to their compound in the Alma / Ft. Smith area of Arkansas. When Ben was 35 years old he was married to another foundation member, 17 year old Kimberly Ondrisek. It is believed they have 6-8 children. They moved to Fouke when the Alamo Ministries moved their facilities here. Their families all reside here at the Alamo compound. His presence on the council is thought of by Fouke residents as not only a joke, but as a conflict of interest to the town. His ability to be voted to the council without any opponent, is still very much in controversy. He votes whatever benefits the Alamo Ministries. Notes from his fellow followers have been given to him during meetings in order for him to know what to do next. He's opposed free surveys to settle the issue once and for all of Circle Drive and refused a free city web site. On behalf of his foundation , he has called emergency meetings to threatened the city with a law suit. It has been witnessed during executive session, Edwards turning his cell phone on and laying it on the table in order for Buster White, Alamo's associate pastor, to listen in from the comfort of his car. Ben's dislike for the mayor and the towns people is apparent to all that attend the council meetings. It has been reported by ex-members that Ben's sister-in-law was given to Tony Alamo at the age of 9 to marry.

False Prophet Extraordinaire

You can always tell when someone is telling the truth about Tony Alamo, the self proclaimed world pastor. Because when they do, he starts the attacks. First he name calls. Very religious of him. Then he makes up unproveable lies about the person. Next he threatens them with the wrath of God.

Ex-members have stated that he can get so mad he actually spits and foams at the mouth.

Tony Alamo has an obsession with sex. Any kind of sex. He talks about sex with little girls, sex with little boys, gay sex, married sex, rape sex, sex for sale. You name it, he's talked about it on his radio broadcast. These messages he gives are in front of the children of his congregation.

Something has to be done to put the maniac and his associates in jail!
