Church Volunteer Finds 41 Permits for Stalls That Never Existed
-
Lu par :

A church volunteer stumbled on 41 laminated vendor permits tucked behind plastic chairs in a storage annex - each bearing a genuine city seal and a permit number in the 200s that corresponded to no physical stall. Who created a parallel licensing system that funneled monthly cash payments and hid in plain sight across five market seasons?
In this episode, we follow the discovery and the chain of ordinary transactions that led local authorities to label the scheme extortion. What the episode covers is how permits, manila envelopes of cash, and an unlocked fire door became the backbone of a quiet revenue stream - and who profited from it.
Person: Emily Jones
Person: Randy Coleman
Person: Donna Pryce
Location: Harwick Fairgrounds
Event: Five documented market seasons
- 41 laminated vendor permits found by Emily Jones in December 2011 behind a stack of plastic chairs.
- All permit numbers fell in the 200 block and pointed to stalls that did not exist on the Harwick floor plan.
- Randy Coleman began paying Donna Pryce $300 per month in 2006, which rose to $700 per month by 2011.
- Annual cash take from the racket ranged between $3,600 and $6,000 across the five documented seasons.
- Ashton Valley Transport owned six trucks, employed fourteen people, and Coleman was 58 years old.
