Summons For Temptations Singer Hits Snag
Story by Vince Lennon on Sun, Jun 8th 2003 (11:34 PM)
A subpoena for Temptations singer Harry McGillaberry in an Anderson County, Tennessee lawsuit hits a roadblock when a Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy refuses process servers access to the singer.
A strange thing happened before the Tempations hit the Riverbend stage Sunday night.
A summons to appear in court for Harry Temps, aka Harry McGillaberry, one of the band' s singers, did not go over as planned as servers say Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy Lieutenant Billy Long refused them access to McGillaberry.
Lt. Long declined to comment when asked by NewsChannel 9 of the situation with service agents and the subpoena for McGillaberry.
Sheriff John Cupp soon interceded and after discussing the situation with Lt. Long, sided with his deputy's actions.
" That service of process is limited to a sheriff or a constable," says Sheriff Cupp, who noted if the summons agents had gone through his department, then they could have served the papers on McGillaberry.
Floyd Thompson, who was trying to serve the papers on McGillaberry, says as an officer of the court with a legitimate legal summons, he should have been allowed to do his job. Thompson disagrees with the Hamilton County Sheriff Department' s interpretation of the law. Thompson declined to talk on camera for fear of future reprisals from local law enforcement.
The subpoena for McGillaberry is for a lawsuit filed in an Oak Ridge, Tennessee court, where McGillaberry is expected to testify as a material witness June 25th.
