Cyberstalker arrested
Zachary police book woman suspected in cyberstalking:
An Alabama woman by the name of Wendy Cashman was arrested for sending false court documents and electronic messages making threats to a woman in Zachary, La. She had been sending threatening e-mails and text messages to the Louisiana woman over some kind of dispute. She also sent fake court documents telling the Louisiana woman to appear in an Alabama court. Thanks to tipster Lythia we have Cashman’s MySpace.
Would you look at that. Ms. Cashman is studying to be a lawyer and is taking Criminal Justice courses at a community college. I guess she thought her “legal acumen” made her above the law which just goes to prove even “law students” can be psychos.

What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? You really should get your facts straight before you bash someone in public! For your information, It is the Louisiana woman who is crazy. I was engaged to her ex-husband and she couldn’t handle it. I have a mountain of emails and phone records that will prove in court that the “stalking” was the other way around. Yes, I send her documents, trying to scare her into leaving me alone. I should have pressed charges for real, but hind site is 20/20 and I was trying to not cause any more drama when it came to her ex and her daughter. She had done enough of that already. When the charges are dropped in court, I will make it a priority to post a notice! I have been harrassed by her to the point of being arrested on false charges and now you want to help her in her quest to make my life hell? Your an idiot for believing something without facts. Yes, Im a law student. And I know what my legal rights are for when this is over with. SHE will be the one who is dealt with in a court of law! I’ll make damn sure of it!

Soooo….if SHE was the one stalking YOU, then why did you not press charges? You claim to be afraid of drama, but it looks like by not pressing charges caused more drama. If you had the evidence and studying to be a laywer, you should know better. If you are not willing to take a risk and prove stuff, then why would someone want you to be their lawyer.
Trench just posts what is seen and heard in the news. If you didn’t want your info viewed in public, you should have placed it for anyone and everyone to see. This is HIS blog and he has every right to comment on any news item that comes his way!

As I stated before, She had already caused enough drama between her ex, her daughter, and me. I was trying to keep the fiction down. I’m a nice person who thought that she was just jealous and loony and would eventually stop the craziness. Apparently I was wrong and I’m now paying for it. Her daughter and her ex husband had both asked me to just ignore her and that’s what I kept trying to do. Trust me, it won’t happen again. And as for someone wanting me to be their lawyer, I’m got into law to help children. I considered myself doing that when I was trying to obey my future stepdaughter’s wishes by not pressing charges on her mother. Her daughter has been emotionally traumatized enough by feuds between her parents. I did not want to add to that. I thought I was doing right. I see now that the only way you can deal with certain people is through legal means. I won’t make the same mistake twice. I have no doubt I’ll be fine. I do feel sorry for her daughter and for anyone else that has to ever cross her path.
As for me putting my info out to the public, I didn’t. I also didn’t ask for her to have me arrested. But now that it is public, I have no problem defending myself. I have done nothing wrong but be gullible and ignorant to how far she would take this craziness. It may be your blog, but if you want to post comments about someone then you really should know what your talking about BEFORE voicing your opinion on their sanity!
And by the way, I do realize that by not doing anything that I ended up letting things escalade to this level. I admit it as a mistake. And your right, I did know better. But apparently I was thinking more with my heart than with my head. I just cared about what would keep my family happy. They wanted me to let it go and I did. I wish to GOD I hadn’t, but I cant do much about the past now can I? But I will make sure that when my charges are dropped, she will be in court right behind me, paying for all the damage she has caused!

“As for me putting my info out to the public, I didn’t.”
Uhh…yes you did. You have a myspace profile according to someone that found it and let Trench know. It isn’t private and anyone can see it…it has been known for months that you can make your profile private. Thus why anyone can see where you go to school at, where you are from, what you look like, etc. It is not Trench’s fault that the info was posted in his blog because he is taking it straight out of your profile that any and all can see.
If this person was so bad and you wanted justice, you should have reported her to the police. They could help her by getting her help if she was so crazy.
“Yes, I send her documents, trying to scare her into leaving me alone.”
SOOO…you are admitting to sending her false documents saying to go to court. Smart one there. It also says you was caught speeding. Wow you would make such a GREAT lawyer (sarcastic there)!
And in the news report it states “Police arrested an Alabama woman this week who is accused of sending false court documents and electronic messages making threats to a Zachary woman, Lt. David McDavid said.”
Gosh darn it, would you know that if you send an electronic message, it never goes away? There is always a trace of it. Did you think others would delete them or wouldn’t sense to open them.

You, obviously, are only interested in believing what you want to believe. Its ridiculous.
Yes I have a public Myspace. So what? It doesn’t say anything “personal” about me on it. So I could care less who looks at it. The only info I care about is the newspaper printing my address. It was uncalled for and unsafe. I have children and there are crazy people in the world that should not have been privileged to the knowledge of where I live.
As for her being “sooo bad”… grow up. She was a annoyance that I thought would go away in time. I had no idea that she would take things this far. I wanted her gone, yes. Who wouldn’t want someone to stop harassing them? I wasn’t worried about getting “justice” until she pulled all this mess. Now Im not only dealing with her, but Im also dealing with people like you. It’s unreal that this is even happening!
As for false documents…gimme a break! I legal papers telling her to leave me alone or I would take further action and sue. She beat me to it.
Speeding tickets? Come on, now your just being petty. What does me getting a traffic ticket have to do with my skills as a lawyer? Nothing, and you know it. You are bein incredibly childish about what you choose to throw in my face. Makes a person wonder…do you know her or are you really this ignorant and bullheaded. You obviously have no desire to know the truth or to even consider someone else’s opinion.
And as for the electronic messages…I only ever replied to hers. So you should be telling her how they never go away. I was bright enough to print them out. She was dumb enough to send them.
Are you a child? Because you keep repeating the same nonsense, just in different wording.
I no longer have to defend myself to anyone. My lawyer called this afternoon and informed me that the DA is dismissing the charges. So, innocent until proven guilty…Guess that makes me innocent. He is now in the process of drawing up a lawsuit against her for the costs I have incurred and the verbal damage that has been done to me. Oh and by the way, I also have him looking into what I can do about someone slandering me in their internet blog. Besides all that, it doesn’t matter what you write anymore. I won. Your opinion of me isn’t worth squat.

I just quote what I see that has been posted in the report in the news article and on your profile.
As far as privacy, just by looking at your profile, we can see that you are a current student at Central Alabama Community College and work at Cook’s Pest Control in Lakeshore Dr, AL as an Office Specialist in the North Office. Your photographs show not only what you look like, but family members look like. If that isn’t enough personal info, I don’t know what is. I’m suggesting it again as I have each post…either put your profile on PRIVATE or delete those things that are not private. Otherwise, your man’s ex (or anyone for that matter) can find any detail of where you are, work, etc. Myspace has this warning up as well when you click on Edit Profile: “Please be aware that MySpace is accessed by thousands of users every day; since you do not know every user on the MySpace site, exercise caution when posting personally identifiable information.” I’m just putting this for your own good. Too many bad people in this world and proof of that is this blog run by Trench.
Police don’t just go out looking for someone. They have to have concrete proof that something happened…in this case they have text messages & emails sent from you. They can always check records with cell phone companies and internet providers to see who sent them. You can also block phone numbers and email addresses from contacting you. Why would they (the police) even bother you if you didn’t send them? I pointed out the speeding ticket because it was another line of charges against you. It may be petty to you, but to others that have been injured or killed in an accident due to someone speeding, it isn’t petty.
If you have a lawyer…he would have told you to not speak about the case, but you are. No I don’t know you nor your “cyber stalker.” I posted after I saw your response on the article about you. You could have easily emailed Trench in regards to the article. You could have easily contacted the newspaper in regards to the article. As far as your address printed in the paper, it is public record and you cannot hide it. Just like any newspaper, they report the name and address of a person as they have the right to do so.
If my opinion doesn’t mean squat, then why do you keep reading and responding to each thing I say?
Don’t be mad at me….be mad at yourself because you got yourself in this mess in the first place. Good luck and best wishes to your family.

I did contact the newspaper. As for “Trench”, this was my first time on here and I assumed that I was speaking to the author of the blog. How can they get away with arresting me with little evidence?…She is friends with the investigator and two of the judges. The investigator let that one slip. There weren’t NUMEROUS messages from me and like I said, I HAVE PHONE RECORDS. But the whole subject is void because it’s so outlandish that the DA chose not to prosecute.
I no longer work at Cook’s, I just never updated it. No one knows anything about me on Myspace that I dont want them to. My address, my phone number, social security, things of that nature, those are what I consider too private for ANYONE to see, let alone the whole world. Honestly, thanks for your concern, but my only privacy issue was concerning my home address.
And by the way, just letting you know…the police NEVER have to have concrete evidence. All they need is suspicion and they can arrest you or put out a warrant to arrest you. Innocent until proven guilty is only a saying in this country. It isn’t how the legal system is actually run. Actions speak louder than words and thats what this country says…”prove to me your innocent”. It sucks and needs to be fixed but until then, thats what we live with.
There are no “line of charges”against me. Im not a criminal (which was proven when they dismissed the charges) and Im a damn good law student. I plan on being a damn good lawyer and making sure children are treated the way they should be. Words said about me won’t tarnish that. They may tick me off and cause me to rant online, but I know who I am and what Im going to eventually be able to do for people. *George Bush did cocaine, and he became our president. Im sure a speeding ticket wont stop me from my goals. And for the record, I wasn’t even goin that fast. I was goin the normal speed limit, but they had changed the signs due to construction starting up. I felled to notice this and did the regular limit. I rarely go that route so I wasn’t accustomed to the change. My bad. Doesn’t make me a criminal or show that I wont be a good lawyer. Those people who REALLY know me, their opinions count, and they love me and know Im a good person who never deserved persecution from anyone. I guess Im lucky, I experienced an injustice that taught me several lessons. It will benefit me when I become a lawyer. It will make me fight FOR the people and their rights. No one should have to go thru the indignity that I have been thru, just because they didn’t fight back when they should have.

Ms. Cashman, I suggest that it might be in your best interest to not comment further as long as the charges against you are still outstanding.
