SHE SAID, HE SAID
Last week, Madras attorney William Carl was arrested, not once, but twice within the space of a few hours for allegedly violating a restraining order filed ex parte by Katie Garret-Dundom.
In a story published by Bend Bulletin reporter, Garrett Andrews on June 22, titled, “ Madras lawyer arrested twice in one day”, Katie Garrett stated “I’m lucky to be alive...” “I want the public to recognize the severity of our mass failures protecting victims.”
Katie Garrett sat down with Ranch Matters (RM) and explained why she filed the restraining order against William Carl along with her concerns regarding how the judicial system handles domestic violence cases.
Katie told RM she filed the restraining order over “safety and abuse issues.” She said, “I am a victim of domestic violence and I had a very very hard time getting support...”
Katie added, “There is some link for me with the office fire investigation...” “He (William Carl) is using-reviewing the discovery between-the discovery that was given to Troy Patrick, that they are having involvement with each other.” “Having meetings, you know and William has me, which I’m participating, because I was a Grand Jury witness for the office fire.”
Katie is referring to the May 25, 2019, arson fire at the former law offices of Madras attorney’s Glenn, Reeder & Gassner. She testified before the Grand Jury on October 22, 2020.
We have published several stories regarding the arson fire including the Oregon Department of Justice investigation and Troy Patrick’s Indictment that was sealed by the court on February 25, 2021. Patrick was indicted on “2 counts of arson 1” for the law office fire and is awaiting trial in September.
Katie further stressed, “To go through this, you know and be a person that was at the Grand Jury, was subpoenaed for Grand Jury testimony-which I did.” “I have been manipulated substantially for the cause of him...”
Katie Garrett stated, “manipulation is tampering” and thanked RM for allowing her to speak freely.
RM reached out to William Carl and scheduled a couple of in person meetings, but Carl cancelled them. However, he did respond to some of our questions regarding the restraining order and Katie Garrett’s interview with us. He also was offered an opportunity to view Katie’s video interview, but declined.
