I: Introduction
On April 26, 2007 Lt. Keith Stevens of the Lexington-
Fayette County Sheriff’s Department arrived at the
home of my mother, Jane Hignite, with whom I live.
My mother was there as was my youngest sibling,
Brandon, a 27 year old man who was born with
Downs Syndrome. Lt. Stevens told my mother that
he had a summons to serve me in a child custody
case. The County Attorney’s Office had been looking
for me for quite a while, he said. Now that they had
caught up with me I was in big trouble. To my brother
Brandon, Lt. Stevens said “What do you think of your
brother now. You are an uncle and he didn’t even tell
you. We’re going to put him in jail for a long time.”
My mother told Lt. Stevens that I was at work
delivering pizzas and that he would find me
downtown at my place of employment, A Slice of
Chicago.
Lt. Stevens left his business card with my mother. He
then came to Slice of Chicago, marched into the back
of the building where the pizzas are made and loudly

demanded to know where I was, stating again for all
to hear that Chris Hignite was in a lot of trouble.
Stevens was told by the owner of Slice that I was on
a delivery and that he, Stevens, could wait outside for
me to return. When I did return, Stevens handed me
a copy of a Civil Summons issued for me on
November 11, 1997 and signed by Robert M. True
and Amy Fowler, a Summons to appear in the case
of Michelle Brizendine and her daughter, Madison.
Later I would learn that this Civil Summons had been
occasioned by a Court Complaint pursuing child
support issued on November 4, 1997, and signed by
Fayette County. Margaret Kannensohn and her
assistants Byron L. Ockerman, Christopher E.
Hutchison, R. Barry Minton.
On April 27, 2007 I called family court attorney Jenny
Scott and on May 1, 2007 my mother and I met with
her. Ms. Scott had already collected copies of papers
from the County Attorney’s office, and after some
discussion of the case, I signed a contract with her,
for an initial fee of $750, to represent my interests in
the upcoming case. I pointed out to Ms. Scott that, in
the upper right corner of the original of the copy with
which I had been served someone, at some time,
had written by hand ‘07-17-06’. Ms. Scott noted with
interest that the section entitled ‘Proof of Service’ had
not been filled in or signed by either Stevens or
myself, thus making the document appear as if it had
never been served at all. “But,” she said, “I do not
want to make a deal out of it”.
A further set of facts is even more remarkable. On
April 26, 2007 Lt. Keith Stevens told my mother that
the County Attorney’s Office had been looking for me
“for quite a while”. On June 28, 2007 The DNA nurse
told me, in the presence of Michelle and Madison
Brizendine, that her paperwork showed that three
attempts had been made to serve the summons.
[The DNA nurse stated, by the way, that she “didn't
work for the city but for the testing facility”;
nevertheless, her office has doors adjoining those of
both the County Attorney and the Family Court
Judge, and she also has access to their mutual
conference room.] On May 1, 2007 my attorney,
Jenny Scott also told me that three attempts had
been made to serve the summons and she showed

me a copy of a piece of stenographer’s notebook
paper bearing three signatures and three dates. Ms.
Scott noted, again with considerable interest, that she
had never seen the summons attempts listed on a
separate piece of paper; furthermore, that in every
other case she had known the dates of attempts to
serve a summons and the names of the servers were
written on the back of the summons itself. “But,” she
said, “I do not want to make a deal out of it”. Finally,
in the last week of October, my attorney, told me that
nobody now remembered the note listing three
attempts to serve the Summons, but that the County
Attorney’s office claims it can produce a carbon copy
of a note on scrap paper of one attempt to serve it.
And, yes, you guessed it, my own attorney, Jenny
Scott, did not want to make a deal out of it.
I, however, did want to make a deal of it. It was
Wednesday, October 31. There was a hearing of the
case scheduled for November 1 at 9 a.m. The County
Attorney was asking the judge for a summary ruling
that my attorney Ms. Scott called “devastating”. I had
cleared the fact that I could not be at this hearing and
we had agreed that Ms. Scott would act in my
interest. Both Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday
morning I tried unsuccessfully to reach Ms. Scott by
phone and in person. I then hand-delivered and slid
under her office door a letter of instructions
containing the specific wording of several motions
which I wished to have entered into the court record.
That evening my mother, Jane, and my brother, Cory
visited Michelle Brizendine at her home. And on
Thursday morning, Ms. Jenny Scott sold me down
the river.
Ms. Scott had decided to settle the matter herself.
She said that she didn’t want to cause ill relations
with anyone in the County Attorney’s office. She said
that my motions would be have been ignored by the
Judge. I told her I didn’t care if the judge ignored or
denied the motions; the very fact that the record
showed that an attempt had been made to enter them
would have done the trick. Ms. Scott said she had
taken what she thought was the best offer and that
she didn’t want to do battle.
Today, on November 6, 2007 at 4:29 p.m. my
attorney, Jenny Scott finally returned a number of
calls that I had made to her. She said again that she
had read my motions, she said there were “valid
points” in all of them. Nevertheless, she would be the
laughing stock of family court if she had attempted to
file them, she was a family court lawyer, she did not
sign on with me to take on the County Attorney’s
office, and perhaps I needed to see a criminal lawyer.
To put the matter as she herself had put it at our very
first meeting: “My daddy told me not to shit where I
eat.”

The motions, “the valid points” that would make Ms.

Scott “the laughing stock of family court” were based
on these following six claims:

The County Attorney has a documented history of

harassing me.
I am privy to secrets that the County Attorney would
not want leaked to the public.
The mother removed the child from the state and
didn’t pursue child support so as not to have to worry
about custody battles with the intention of raising the
child as her own with another father.
The County Attorney’s child support division is
plagued with mistakes and incompetence making this
a great place to place someone if you want to harass
them. One could always claim later that the mistakes
were due to incompetence and an apology would be
given for your time in jail and the cost of your
attorney.
Michelle has made it a habit of changing her stories
to suit her needs and therefore nothing she says can
be taken with any confidence.
A similar situation occurred in Scott County with a ten
year old case that re-appeared after being dismissed
originally. The officers in the case stated on record
that they had been asked to harass me by members
of the Lexington Vice Squad. Ten years later, in
2005, the case was re-entered into the computer and
listed and un-finished. This made it appear that I had
been avoiding them for ten years. Once again
damaging my reputation and costing me money.

The remainder of this series of articles will

substantiate these claims.
