The ongoing nearly 5 year long Federal Prosecution of the Yellow House and its owners Guy and Carrie Neighbors is discriminatory, selective, based on favors, and its a Conspiracy cover-up for Misconduct of Government officials! The obvious is the pattern of abuse and selective prosecution between Federal and State charges in various cases from Lawrence Kansas.
In July of 2008, Robert Sample sold the Yellow House store a Dell Laptop. At the time of the sale Mr. Sample filled out the sellers form and signed & dated the bottom of the form stating that the item was not stolen.
It was placed for sale on an Ebay auction with the serial and model number listed in the auction. It turned out that Mr. Sample had stolen the laptop from his employer the University of Kansas.
The Yellow House owners were notified about the theft by KU Detective Mike Riner on August 7th, 2008. The Yellow House agreed to turn over the Laptop to the Detective. The Yellow House business owners agreed to allow KU Detective Riner to copy the information from the sellers form Mr. Samples had filled out, but on Friday Aug. 8th, requested the right to go through their attorneys to physically hand over the document or make any statements to police.
In response to the Neighbors requesting the presence of their attorneys:
Later that day KU Detective Riner returned with Lawrence Officers Jay Bialek, Micky Rantz, Postal Inspector David Nitz, and a number of officers from LKPD and KUPD and served a search warrant on the business (during the search the stores video surveillance video was taken and a blank off brand tape put in its place). Officers stormed into the business front and back grabbed both Guy and Carrie Neighbors put them in handcuffs and placed them under Federal arrest for "Federal Obstruction of Justice".
The Neighbors were taken into custody and held from Aug 8th to Aug 11th in 24 hour lock down at the Douglas county Jail.
On Aug. 11th the Postal Inspector David Nitz picked up the Neighbors and their personal belongings from the Douglas County jail, and transported them in his vehicle without their attorneys present to the Kansas City DOJ 45 min. away, where they were chained and shackled and held in cells. After a brief appearance before Federal Magistrate Judge James O'Hara they were strip searched and transferred to the Leavenworth Maximum security detention center. They were incarcerated for "Obstruction of justice" in the Federal Prison until they were released and the case was terminated for lack of evidence on Aug. 18th, 2008.

During the investigation it was discovered that over a 5 year period Robert Sample had stolen over $31,000.00 worth of property from the University of Kansas. The bulk of the merchandise had been sold to the local Pawn Shops. The local Pawn shops are linked directly to the local police for oversight yet Mr. Samples was never investigated.
On September 17, 2007 it was a documented fact by the Topeka FBI that the local Pawn Shops sell guns and other items missing (stolen) from the Lawrence Kansas Police Department evidence room.
Mr. Sample Plead guilty to misdemeanor theft and 3 felony counts of theft in State Court and was ordered to pay restitution and serve one month in the Douglas county jail. He was not charged in Federal court. The Yellow House owners were arrested and incarcerated in Federal Prison on Federal Charges for "obstruction" in this State misdemeanor case Investigation. The Neighbors case for Federal Obstruction connected to this midemeanor State case is still pending in Federal Court.

James Ludwig, Lewis Parsons, and Stacy Barnes, are individuals that were paid by checks for various items sold to the Yellow House Store, mostly over a 5 year period. They were all charged in Federal Court, even though none of the merchandise sold by these individuals was proven to be stolen, because People selling to the Yellow House not involved with the Pawn Shops are prosecuted in Federal Court!
It was alleged that Lewis Parsons while claiming to be a wholesaler, sold just under $30,000. Worth of merchandise to the Yellow House over a 5-6 year period (The same amount that Mr. Sample sold the Pawn shops). The merchandise sold by Parsons had never been reported stolen, and had no reported victims. Yet Mr. Parsons was charged in Federal Court and was forced to take a plea deal in exchange for Grand Jury testimony and anticipated testimony at trial against the Yellow House owners.
Ludwig who also claimed to be a wholesale dealer and sold merchandise which he accepted checks for from the Yellow House over a 5-6 year period for an estimated total of $100,000. His property was never proven to be stolen, had no listed victims or police reports. Both men plead guilty in Federal Court In April 2008, and now (April 2009) 1 year later are still free waiting to be sentenced.

Stacy Barnes Catlett, was paid by check for some instruments sold to the Yellow House during the summer of 2005. Stacy allegedly purchased the used instruments with a stolen credit card. Stacy was charged in Federal court 3yrs later after Prosecutors discovered she had been written checks from the Yellow House. Postal Inspector David Nitz was involved in her arrest.
