Michael Avenatti charged with
defrauding Stormy Daniels
Prosecutors: Attorney used doctored
document to divert about $300K
Daniels was to get from a book deal
By JIM MUSTIAN
and LARRY NEUMEISTER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Michael
Avenatti, the attorney who
rocketed to fame through
his representation of porn
star Stormy Daniels in her
battles with President Don-
ald Trump, was charged
Wednesday with ripping
her off.
Federal prosecutors in
New York City say Avenatti
used a doctored document
to divert about $300,000
that Daniels was supposed
to get from a book deal,
then used the money for
personal and business ex-
penses. Only half of that
money was paid back, pros-
ecutors said.
Daniels isn’t named in
the court filing, but the
details of the case, includ-
ing the date her book was
released, make it clear that
she is the client involved.
Avenatti denied the alle-
gations on Twitter.
“No monies relating to
Ms. Daniels were ever mis-
appropriated or mishan-
dled. She received millions
of dollars worth of legal
services and we spent huge
sums in expenses. She di-
rectly paid only $100.00 for

all that she received. I look

the evidence,” he wrote.
Avenatti added in a later
tweet that his agreement
for representing Daniels
“included a percentage of
any book proceeds.”
The charges pile on top
of previous allegations of
legal misconduct by Av-
enatti, who represented
Daniels when she sued to
be released from a nondis-
closure agreement involv-
ing an alleged tryst with
Trump. The president de-
nies an affair took place.
Avenatti was previous-
ly charged in New York
with trying to extort up
to $25 million from Nike
by threatening to expose
claims that the shoemaker
paid off high school basket-
ball players to steer them to
Nike-sponsored colleges.
And in Los Angeles, he’s
facing a multicount feder-
al indictment alleging that
he stole millions of dollars
from clients, didn’t pay tax-
es, committed bank fraud
and lied during bankruptcy
proceedings.
Avenatti has denied the
allegations against him on
both coasts, saying he ex-
pects to be exonerated.

Lawsuit
Continued from Page 1A
Owen, one of three at-
torneys representing the
plaintiffs, had little to say
after the verdict.
“All I can tell you is I
hate it for (the victims’)
families,” Owen said.
According to police
reports and trial testimo-
ny, the altercation began
when Weems and Knight-
en, who are white, got into
an argument with a group
of black men at a nearby
Waffle House restaurant.
After being told to leave,
Weems and Knighten
went to the Huddle House,
where at least three of the
men who they had argued
with had arrived earlier.
The men began to ar-
gue again and soon were
involved in a physical
altercation that security
officer Avant was unable
to break up. By the time
West Point police arrived
minutes later, Weems and
Knighten had been seri-
ously injured and three
men were charged in the
beating.
The suspects plead-
ed guilty to aggravated
assault in 2017. Courtez
McMillian, 25, of Okolo-
na, was sentenced to
seven years in Missis-
sippi Department of Cor-
rections. Five years and
eight months of the sen-
tence was suspended and
he was released on time
served. Later that year
Marquavious McMillian,
34, of Aberdeen, was sen-
tenced to eight years in
the MDOC with two to
serve, and a week later,
Kent Davis, 26, of Okolo-
na, was sentenced to 10
years, with five to serve.
According to witness-
es, Weems incited the
incident by yelling pro-
fanities and racial slurs
at several people in the
Huddle House, including
Avant.
Brady said that while
the testimony was at
times racially and emo-
tionally-charged, he did
not believe the racial
slurs prejudiced the jury
of eight blacks and four
whites.
“I think the fact that
the jury heard from multi-
ple witnesses, including a
white man, and from one
of the plaintiffs through
an officer’s report, that
Weems, a white man, went
into the Huddle House
and used racial slurs and
that’s what created the sit-
uation,” Brady said. “The
three men who assaulted
him went to prison, and
rightfully so. We can’t get
away from the fact that
it was a racially-charged
event caused by a white
man. This had nothing to
do with our clients. I think
the jury’s decision con-
firms that clearly.”

project without any
matching money from the
city. Mayor Lynn Spruill
said the money is paid
through a reimburse-
ment, which can allow the
city to get started faster
without having to wait
for the money to come in
from the foundation.
J.L. King Park’s walk-
ing track had been on the
list of projects for the city
to address within the next
two or three years. The
project is one that’s been
requested by residents —
former county NAACP
President Chris Taylor
asked the board of alder-
men on Tuesday during
their meeting when the
city would repave the
track.
“It’s been on our radar
screen and Gerry has
been awesome in getting
grants,” Spruill said. “We
didn’t think it’d be fund-
ed any time soon — we
thought it would be next
year or the year after.
We’re really pleased it
came through.”
Logan said the grant
not only helps the city get
to the project earlier than
it would have, but frees up
money for other projects
in the future.
“We have a lot of proj-
ects we want to do and
we’re always on the look-
out for grants to help
speed up some of those
projects,” Gerry said. “In
this case, we were plan-
ning to do the work, but
it was just a matter of
when. Getting this helps
us speed up the project
and supplement the bud-
get to stretch our dollars
further.”
The grant comes on
the heels of aldermen
approving more than
$43,000 on Tuesday for
projects to resurface both
basketball courts at J.L.
King Park, a basketball
court and three tennis
courts at McKee Park
and converting one tennis
court at McKee Park to
four pickleball courts.
“This is another proj-
ect that will impact a lot
of people,” Logan said.
“We’re excited to have the
board’s support to move
forward on this.”

Stormwater

the same period in 1983.
Even without those fig-
ures available at Tuesday’s
board meeting, Ward 1 Al-
derman Ben Carver said
this year’s rains have been
different from normal.
“We’re seeing — I don’t
know if this is accurate
— but probably 100-year
type levels,” Carver said.
“Things are happening,
I’ve seen, in Ward 1, in
areas that don’t normally
flood.”
Mayor Lynn Spruill told
The Dispatch that while
this year’s rainfall totals
might be lower than those
in 1983, the city is far more
developed now than it was
in the 1980s. That, with
continuing development,
may exacerbate issues.
For example, a video
City Engineer Edward
Kemp showed during
Tuesday’s meeting
showed an underground
storm drain that was near-
ly completely clogged with
runoff silt dirt from the
construction in Country
Club Estates.
Studying runoff
The city may take a
multi-pronged approach in
addressing its stormwater
issues.
Earlier this month,
aldermen approved a
contract of up to $2,400
with River Science, LLC,
to conduct a runoff and
detention analysis of the
Country Club Estates
Phase III development.
Spruill said she hopes
to use that study as a
launching point to look at
other areas of the city.
“I’d like to see what it
might cost us to do a study
of those basins,” she said.
“I want to go back and
look at areas that may or
may not be problem areas.
I want to identify all those
problem areas.”
Spruill said the city,
when it created its storm-
water ordinance about
10 years ago, looked into
creating a stormwater
management fee to help
mitigate the effects of ex-
cess rainwater. However,
at the time, the city got an
attorney general’s opin-
ion that such a fee would
be viewed as a tax, which
would have to be approved
through the state Legis-
lature. Stormwater man-
agement fees, which have
been employed in other
states, are assessed to
property owners and used
to help fund stormwater
infrastructure projects or
maintenance.
Spruill said she’s had
some early discussions
with District 41 Rep. Rob
Roberson (R-Starkville)
and the Mississippi Mu-
nicipal League about find-
ing some way to create a
support structure for fund-
ing for cities to address
stormwater issues.
“I am delighted to re-
visit that issue because
I do think it’s a citywide
issue we need to look at,”
Spruill said. “I think (City
Attorney Chris Latimer)
can help us sort our way
through that.”
Possible code changes
The city is also build-
ing stronger requirements
for stormwater detention
into its development code
rewrite. The code lays out
regulations for zoning and
land type designations, as
well as the processes and
guidelines for building
new developments or al-
tering existing ones.
In the proposed re-
write, the city would in-
crease its requirements
for developments to have
to retain enough water
from 100-year events, rath-
er than the two- or 10-year
events the code currently
requires.

Our View

Airport decision another example of city budget creep

What are we missing here?
In November, the Lown-
des County Airport Board of
Directors unanimously chose
Jared Rabren to manage the
city-county airport as its
Fixed Base Operator (FBO).
Although just 25-years-old at
the time, board members noted
he had the kind of relevant
experience that made his age
a non-factor in its decision.
Rabren had been working as
operations manager for Bryan
Field, the municipal airport in
Starkville, for a year at the time
of his hiring. Prior to that, he
worked stints as a mechanic at
the Cleveland Airport in Boli-
var County and as a lineman at
the Greenwood-Leflore Airport.
Board members also liked
his ambitious plans for the
airport.
In the six months since tak-
ing over, Rabren has concen-
trated his efforts on cleaning
up the airport property - mak-
ing sure the grass is cut and
the buildings are clean.
Yet on Tuesday night, the
Columbus City Council ap-
proved a recommendation to
hire Rick Milburn as consultant
to help Rabren with his duties,
particularly obtaining grants
for upgrades and improve-
ments. The Lowndes County
supervisors also signed off on
the move. The airport is owned
by the county and city, so each
government will provide $500
for the five consultation meet-
ings proposed by the airport
board.
This is a curious move on a
couple of fronts.
Most notably, we question
why the board feels it neces-
sary to hire a consultant. By all
accounts Rabren has already
been making improvements.
On Tuesday, city administra-
tor David Armstrong told the
council that Rabren needed an
“elder statesman” and that he
needed someone with “lots of
experience.”
Milburn, 71, had offered
his consulting services to the
airport board at the time of
Rabren’s hiring. Now, he’ll
provide those services for $200
per consulting session.
Perhaps there are legitimate
board concerns that haven’t
been made public, in which
case help may be warranted.
But that leads to our second
concern.
The city council voted to pro-
vide the funding for the consul-
tant despite a “spending freeze”
implemented in the wake of a
financial situation projected to
result in a $300,000 shortfall
by the end of the fiscal year.
The spending freeze, first an-
nounced in December, was part
of the city’s plan to eliminate
the shortfall.
Spending $500 in un-bud-
geted money admittedly isn’t
going to break the bank, but
since the freeze was enacted,
multiple un-budgeted expendi-
tures have been approved, mak-
ing us concerned the spending
creep that has put the city in
this situation continues.
At the least, it’s a bad look.
At the worst, it raises the
question about how seriously
the city is taking its budget
issues.

The Republican Party

working to repeal the
20th century
The Republican Party’s
appeal, it has occasionally
been argued in this space,
stems largely from an im-
plicit promise: Vote for us
and we will repeal the 20th
century.
This was meant as truth
wrapped in snarky hyper-
bole. But, as has become
distressingly apparent over
the years, it’s actually truth

The latest evidence
thereof arrived with a jolt last week in the form of
the so-called “Human Life Protection Act,” passed
by the Alabama state legislature and signed into
law by Gov. Kay Ivey. Even by the standards of an
era of emboldened encroachment upon a woman’s
right to choose, the bill stands out as the most
sweeping and restrictive abortion ban of modern
times.
No abortions. Not in cases of rape. Not in cases
of incest.

Third grade reading

the 2014-15 school year to help en-
sure student literacy.
The scoring is based on levels 1
through 5, with 5 being advanced.
For the 2018-19 school year,
MDE increased its expectations of
a “passing score” from a level 2 to
a more rigorous level 3, mandating
students who score a level 1or 2 to
retake the test, while levels 3, 4 and
5 students progress to the fourth
grade.
The state average pass rate was
74.5 percent.
“This year’s assessment is a new
beginning because
the passing score has
been raised one level
to move closer to mea-
suring proficiency,”
State Superintendent
Carey Wright said ac-
cording to a press re-
lease. “Students need Wright
strong reading skills
in order to learn other school sub-
jects, such as science, social stud-
ies, writing and even math.”
Students who fail the exam on
the first try get two more chances to
pass before actually being retained

guage Arts specialist, said the dis-
trict is gearing up for a summer
program preparing students for the
final retake in late June. The camp
will give students mock-tests de-
signed by both MDE and SOCSD.
“We’re going to have a camp
called ‘open the gate summer camp’
for the students who do not pass the
test we took last week,” Tullos said.
“It will be a three-week literacy
camp. We are going to work hard on
remediating the skills and prepar-
ing for the second retest opportuni-
ty. We’re looking forward to seeing
improved results.”
Some students who did not score
proficient on the exam may qual-
ify for a “good-cause exemption”
— depending on special-education
needs or if English is their second
language. Those students will not
have to retake the assessment. The
district is working to see which stu-
dents have qualified for good cause
exemption, but has not tallied an of-
ficial number, Tullos added.
Comparing apples to apples,
Peasant said he is happy to see im-
provements and growth in students.
SOCSD had three students held
back last year due to the reading as-
sessment.
“It’s different this year,” Peasant
said. “I did do a comparison of if we
placed this year’s requirements on

about a 4-percent increase. That’s
a measure of growth which is most

HOOVER, Ala. — As the
clock neared 3 a.m. at Hoover
Metropolitan Stadium, faint
chants of “Let’s go Dogs” from
a thinned crowd filled the air.
The cheers grew progres-
sively louder when junior Gun-
ner Halter stepped to the plate
with runners on first and sec-
ond in the bottom of the 17th
inning.
Thoughts of his failed bunt
attempts in the 16th weighed
heavy in the back of his mind
after Mississippi State coach
Chris Lemonis chewed him out
over the miscue.
“He missed the bunt and I
got on him a little bit for that,
and then he walked around like
somebody took his dog,” Lemo-
nis said after the game.

ter redeemed all wrongs — rop-

bouncing around pretty good.”

second baseman Brandt
Broussard scored Rowd-
ey Jordan from third to tie
the game at five with two
outs in the bottom of the
16th to keep MSU (46-11,
20-10) alive.
Finally, it was Halter
who delivered the dramat-
ics in the longest game in
SEC tournament history.
The MSU dugout did
its part in keeping things
light while the seemingly
endless contest sojourned
on. Freshman Brad
Cumbest tried to coax
a run across with a ral-
ly outfit of sunglasses, a
waving towel and a back-
ward ball cap.
bill facing backward, his
sunglasses upside down
and small green Gato-
rade cups hanging from
his ears, the injured right
fielder attempted to bring
the Bulldogs a semblance
of luck with his absurd
get-up.
“We stayed loose, but
at the same time it’s kind
of frustrating,” Halter
said of the mood in the
dugout. “Had runners in
scoring position a lot, just
nobody could get the job
done. So we’re doing any-
thing we can to get some
runs on the board.”
Hours prior to the ex-
tra-inning madness, MSU
opened the scoring with
a two-run first inning.
Sophomore Tanner Allen
belted a double to right
field, scoring Mangum
from second and moving
sophomore Jordan West-
burg to third.
Junior Dustin Skelt-
on then plated Westburg
with a sacrifice fly to put
third and fourth innings.
Westburg first notched
an RBI single to center
field in the third before
freshman Luke Hancock
was hit by a pitch with the
bases loaded to give the
Bulldogs a 4-0 lead the
following frame.
LSU responded with
two runs in the fifth when
redshirt junior reliever
Trysten Barlow walked
in a runner he inherited
from freshman starter
Brandon Smith with the
bases loaded. Cade Be-
loso plated another with
a sacrifice fly to left field
to score Broussard from
third.
The Tigers evened
things up in the eighth
inning when Giovanni Di-
Giacomo smoked a two-
run home run over the
right field wall to send the
game to extras.
DiGiacomo struck
again in the top of the
16th inning. A ball, a foul
tip, and another ball gave
ners at second and third.
DiGiacomo then skied a
sacrifice fly to left field
to give LSU a 5-4 lead —
though Broussard’s error
afforded MSU a second
lease on life in the bottom
half.
“I give our guys a lot
of credit for competing,
making plays, making
pitches when we weren’t
real offensive,” Lemonis
said.
MSU now advances to
take on No. 1 seed Van-
derbilt today. Redshirt
junior Ethan Small (8-1,
1.84 ERA) will take the
mound against the Com-
modores’ Drake Fellows
(10-0, 4.34 ERA). First
pitch against Vanderbilt is
scheduled for 8 p.m.
The winner will ad-
vance to Saturday’s semi-
final and the loser will
take on either LSU or
Auburn in an elimination
game Friday.

Gordon
Continued from Page 1B
had anything left in the
tank,” Lemonis recount-
ed. “About halfway there
he started barking at me
that he wanted this last
guy.”
Gordon remembered
the moment likewise.
“I told him, ‘those are
my runs out there and I
owed it to the team to get
that guy out,’” Gordon
said. “I told him, ‘just give
me that last batter and if I
don’t get him out the ball
is all yours. But let me get
that guy.’”
Five pitches later,
Gordon induced an in-
ning-ending groundout
to first base from LSU
leadoff man Josh Smith.
He had capped his gem
—five innings of one-hit
ball with eight strikeouts
to boot.
“Every pitch in that sit-
uation the game is on the
line,” Gordon said. “One
mistake, it turns into a
game. I was just trying
to go out there and make
every pitch. From there
the results are up to them-
selves.”
In 22 appearances
entering Wednesday’s
game, Gordon had just
two outings that lasted
longer than two innings.
Of those, he pitched three
innings just once — a 20-
15 road win over Auburn
March 24.
Gordon looked headed
for another routine outing
against the Tigers as the
Bulldogs moved runners
to third in the 10th, 11th
and 12th innings. Three
times MSU failed to plate
the winning run as part of
a 4-for-26 combined effort
with runners in scoring
position.
With his offense strug-
gling, Gordon dug in and
delivered the most mem-
orable performance of his
final season in Starkville
to date.
“I was just going one
pitch at a time,” he said. “I
don’t know when the last
time I threw five innings
was and I couldn’t tell you
the last time my arm felt
like this.”
Gordon looked on
from the dugout with bat-
ed breath as chaos took
over in the latter stages
of Wednesday’s game that
spilled into this morning.
While redshirt junior
Keegan James tossed a
solid 2 2/3-inning, one-
run, two-hit appearance,
it was junior Gunner Hal-
ter who ensured he and
James’ outings were not
wasted with a walk-off,
RBI single in the 17th. ACROSS

COLLEGE TENNIS

MSU’s tennis stars keep winning at NCAAs

Two advance in men’s singles, two pairs
in men’s doubles, to quarterfinals
DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
ORLANDO, Fla. — The
Mississippi men’s tennis team
continued its unblemished run
through the NCAA singles and
doubles tournaments Wednes-
day in Orlando, Florida.
Senior Nuno Borges and
junior Giovanni Oradini both
advanced to the singles quar-
terfinals.
Borges easily dispatched
of Tennessee’s Timo Stodder
6-0, 6-1 in their sixth-career
meeting. The No. 1-seeded
Borges will next meet No. 5
seed Brandon Holt of Southern
California.
“Even though it was a short
match, I had to stay sharp the
whole time,” he said. “He made
me play a lot of balls, and I
knew he was going to do that.
I ended up getting some free
points and it turned out very
well for me.”
Oradini battled through a
three set affair with Colum-
bia’s Jack Lin. After dropping
Borges Oradini
the first set 2-6, Oradini took
the final two 6-4, 6-4 to ad-
vance.
“Early on, I was playing
rushed and was trying to fin-
ish my points in short rallies,”
he said. “In the second set, I
came out calmer and I wasn’t
rushing my points. The key for
me today was just being calm,
tough and working on every
point.”
Oradini will play No. 4 seed
Paul Jubb of South Carolina in
the quarters.
On the doubles side, Borg-
es and senior Strahinja Rakic
cruised past California’s Jacob
Brumm and Yuta Kikuchi, 6-1,
6-2. They will take on Tennes-
see’s No. 6-ranked team of
Stodder and Preston Touliatos.
Oradini and senior Niclas
Braun also advanced in the
doubles draw. The duo defeat-
ed Northwestern’s Simen Bra-
tholm and Nick Brookes, 6-4,
6-2. Oradini and Braun will
face No. 1 seed Jimmy Bend-
eck and Sven Lah of Baylor in
the quarterfinals.
“Going into the match, we
both knew what was on the
line,” Braun said. “Tonight, we
came out very sharp from the
first point. Our game plan was
working pretty well and our
positioning on the court was
great. We executed our plan
very well and that, combined
with our energy, made the dif-
ference.”
With the victories, MSU be-
came the first program since
Stanford in 1998 to boast two
quarterfinalists in both singles
and doubles in the same sea-
son.

DEAR ABBY: I
have worked for
the same doctor
for 29 years. My
30-year anniver-
sary is approach-
ing. People think
I should be ready to retire
when he does. The problem is,
I live paycheck to paycheck,
and there is no retirement
plan. What little money I had
saved went out the window
when I got a divorce a few
years ago.
I know I need to quit and go
somewhere that offers REAL
benefits, but I feel like leaving
will create a huge rift. I adore
the patients, and I know they
will ask him what happened. I
don’t want to seem ungrateful.
I know it’s my fault for not
demanding more earlier. I get
depressed when patients tell
me about their retirement
plans, or I hear about his. I
will be working until I die. I’m
afraid he will take the staff out

TAURUS (April 20-May
20). All wins and losses are
temporary. Being up or down on
your luck is but a mask worn by
destiny. There are always nu-
merous and legitimate reasons
why an excellent happening is
also terrible and vice versa.
GEMINI (May 21-June

out different parts of you. So
whether you don’t like the way
you are around someone or you
like it so much it’s practically
intoxicating, remember, every
relationship is a joint venture.

Procrastination isn’t all bad. If
you wait until the last minute to

DEAR ABBY: Please enlight-

we were sitting there, she
got on Facebook and posted
about it. I think it was rude of

not a secret, but why put it on
Facebook? I don’t understand
why people think they have to

Do they do it because they
want to feel important? —

DEAR OLD-FASHIONED:
I am sure some of them do.
Others may do it because
they want to memorialize the
occasion or think others are

should have spoken up, told
her you are a private person
and asked her to please not
mention your name or post
your image in the future.
fast. In fact, it’s actually a pretty
efficient plan.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even
though it’s important to love
and support yourself and be
confident in your own being, you
also need to hear kind words
from others from time to time.
This doesn’t make you weak. “I
love you” goes a long way today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). Remember the time you
tried and didn’t quite make the
mark? You don’t have to recall
the details of it because the
lesson was learned by your
body and in deep parts of your
brain. And it’s the reason you’ll
succeed today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You just want the other person
to feel comfortable, pleased
and good about an interaction
with you. This desire of yours is,
in and of itself, an achievement
— it is the essence of charm.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). When you feel strong and
capable, it’s awesome to act in
accordance. But there is noth-
ing to gain by acting like this is
the case when you don’t really
feel it. It will only alienate others
and rob them of the chance to
help.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). What is true and natural is
also eternal, though it can be
disguised as an ending, a begin-
ning or some other plot twist.
So don’t fret when the curtain
closes on one act. Settle in.
There will be much to enjoy.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You know what you want,
and this makes you magnetical-
ly attractive. Don’t just come up
with one idea about how to get.
Brainstorm an entire menu of
options. Your confidence grows
with every possible new route.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Can love thrive under the
weight of additional burdens
and responsibilities? Yes. In
fact, love needs those respon-
sibilities in order to develop
properly.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’re intriguing. Loved
ones may feel funny about the
extra excitement that seems
to hang in the air around you,
and they may get jealous of the
attention you’re getting.
