Shelby Co. (ECWd) –
Dr. Christoper Boehm, the same “Dr.” who invoked his 5th amendment rights after filing a bogus petition objection complaint (article here) has now been charged with Indirect Criminal Contempt.
The following is found in the Judic.com docket entry on 3/20/2024:
“COURT MAKES FINDING THAT THE ALLEGATIONS IN STATE’S PETITION ARE “SERIOUS” IN NATURE; COURT DETERMINES THAT C. BOEHM WILL NOT BE DETAINED AT THIS TIME SINCE THIS IS A NON-VIOLENT OFFENSE AND COURT WILL NOT CONSIDER ISSUING A ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AT THIS TIME PENDING FURTHER RESEARCH OF COURT AND PARTIES;THIS CASE TO BE FILED AS CC CASE BY CLERK; ATTY FINKS TO FILE ANY OTHER MOTIONS WITHIN 7-DAYS; RESET FOR HEARING ON ANY PENDING MOTIONS ON APRIL 15, 2024 AT 1:00 P.M.”
While we do not know what Boehm did leading to the charge, we do not believe it had anything to do with his invoking his 5th Amendment rights related to the petition objection. While we think the public has a right to know who in the county courthouse assisted Boehm in making copies for his bogus filing in that matter, all offices have denied records requests for that information.
There have been rumors, which we can not confirm, that Boehm bragged about being kicked out of a Grand Jury last month. It is possible this charge is tied to that but that is totally speculation as we have not been able to obtain a copy of the petition filed with the court.
The statement from the court tends to indicate this is no laughing matter. “COURT MAKES FINDING THAT THE ALLEGATIONS IN STATE’S PETITION ARE “SERIOUS” IN NATURE”
We attempted to contact Boehm for comment but he has us blocked on his Shelby County First page. We have yet to see any disclosure on his page about this charge.
We will update you when more information is available.
