CLAY CO.—One of the people responsible for the prima facie abduction of a two-year-old girl in the Spring of 2013 has filed an order of protection in Clay County circuit court.
However, Jesteen Billingsley, formerly known as Jesteen Weiler, 28, suffered a loss on her complaint, as the judge in the case denied the petition on the day it was filed, making her 0 and 3 on the court docket when it comes to trying to prevail in that arena.
The ill-tempered Billingsley, whom equally-ill-tempered Jon Billingsley finally made an honest woman of, attempted to take out an order of protection against an uncle, Robert Lee Koehler II, 43, of Rinard, after some smart-mouth comments Koehler made in late July that apparently hurt whatever feelings Billingsley possesses.
First two strikes: Drug felony, then kidnapping
Billingsley, as Weiler, made headlines in mid-2012 when she was convicted of Obtaining a Controlled Substance by Fraud (taking a patient’s medicine from him when she was working at a local nursing home), a Class 4 felony. In August of that year she was placed on 30 months probation, ordered to pay $2,627 in fines and fees, of which $402 has yet to be paid, and ordered to attend drug treatment.
But she went off the deep end later when in May of 2013, she accompanied her mother, Sherry Kittle, in effectively kidnapping her niece, Lily Jones, from Lily’s father, Zephrum Jones, after Lily’s mother (and Jesteen’s sister) Andrea Weiler was killed in an ATV accident in Jasper County a few weeks prior.
Neither Billingsley nor Kittle were ever charged in the incident, which amounted to Jones, believing he was allowing his little daughter to visit with his late girlfriend’s family, not being allowed the return of the girl at a scheduled time.
Despite being on the girl’s birth certificate, it took DNA evidence and good arguments by Olney attorney Bart Zuber to get a court to order Kittle and Weiler to turn the child back over to her rightful parent, where she remains today.
Uncle Bobby calls it
Weiler-now-Billingsley, hostile in the wake of the whole mess, lambasted Disclosure for outing her despicable behavior.
However, apparently this news outlet isn’t the only one who believes her behavior to be what it is…and which her own words show.
In the petition for protection, Billingsley wrote that in July 11, “I texted my uncle yesterday asking him to leave my mother alone because it was no one’s fault but mine that he was not invited to my niece’s birthday party,” referencing Lily’s fourth birthday. “I told my mother if he was there I would not be and that I ranked higher than him.”
To this offensive and hubris-filled statement, Koehler apparently took offense.
“He replied with ‘you need to shut your mouth.’ I replied ‘so do you,’” Billingsley wrote. “He attempted to call me at 5:08 p.m., which I ignored and he left me a voicemail saying ‘Hey you f^*king c^nt you’re the f^*cking reason she got the motherf^*cker, you need to keep your mouth shut and stay out of everybody’s f^*king business. I don’t have a f^*king problem with your mother, you f^*king c^nt.’
“I do have texts and voicemail still on my phone. He texted 1 minute later ‘talk sh!t answer your fon bitch,’” she concluded for that day’s complaint on Koehler’s perceptive rant, which couldn’t exactly be termed slander, as, in order for that to be the case, the allegations have to be false.
And calls it again
A few days later, she claimed that she “went with Aunt Susie (married to Bobby) and Eric (my cousin’s boyfriend) so she could get her mail from him which he was refusing to give her,” apparently in an effort to make Koehler out to look as bad as possible in the eyes of whatever judge would be hearing the case.
“Eric and I were not on their property. We stayed at the end of the street and I actually called Wayne County police but then saw Susie walking toward us and said ‘Never mind ma’am the issue has been resolved.’ Bobby then saw me and Eric and yelled ‘Jesteen get your f^*king ass back in the god damned car.’ My reply was ‘F^*k you’ then he got really psycho and yelled ‘f^*k you you f^*king c^nt bitch I could burn your f^*king house down anytime.’ By that time Susie was back at the car and we left.”
Addendum
“Bobby walked in my house unannounced and yelled at the children (mine and his),” she wrote in an addendum, apparently not meaning to make it look like the two had had children together.
“He has driven by my house numerous times and parked in the alley watching my house and told me that it wasn’t illegal for him to do that. He is diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
“Drove recklessly almost hitting the car my children were in and then he proceeded to yell at them.
“Uses/might be making meth and smoke pot.
“Threatened to commit suicide and has done this constantly over the past four years.
“Has 2 guns in house without a valid FOID card,” Billingsley finished the laundry list of what she was apparently told by some misguided person in her life would be a sure-fire way to make certain an OP would be issued in her favor.
Strike 3, you’re OUT
However, it wasn’t.
On the day the OP was petitioned (August 1), the judge, Allen F. Bennett of Shelby County, made a docket entry that there was “no basis for an emergency order of protection” and ordered it denied, in Koehler’s favor.
There’s been no indication of whether Billingsley will try to re-file with “new” information about her uncle, or whether she’ll just pick up her gear and go home, having struck out.
