Country music legend
Merle Haggard came to Yreka, Calif. on September 21 to give his night to benefit the Friends of the Fair, a volunteer auxiliary supporting the
Siskiyou Golden Fair and the Siskiyou County Child Abuse Prevention Council. Behind the scenes was Theresa Ann Lane Haggard's 2013 alleged narcotics and drug possession and trafficking arrest by California Highway Patrol, dWebServe releases for the first time today in a breaking YouTube news video.
Her arrest and booking information is not found in the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Jail online records.
"For Siskiyou County locals, it was an astonishing, odd honor to have
country music superstar Merle Haggard choose our small, remote county to receive his Fair Aid 2013 Festival," said Daniel Webster, dWebServe editor and publisher in his YouTube news video. "It gave local bands the extraordinary opportunity to open for Mr. Haggard and pumped several local important organizations with cash."
Rain forced the Haggard soiree into the commercial building, with the audience needing to bring their lawn chairs to sit. It was a sold-out event, according to Webster's news video. The concert was announced days after the dismissal for the 2013 alleged
narcotics and drug possession and trafficking felony charges.
Released for the first time publically, Webster shares his interview with Siskiyou County District Attorney Kirk Andrus and the California Highway Patrol. He shares the Lane
Haggard arrest, booking information and mugshot in Yreka California from 2013 and releases her 2005 driving under the influence (DUI) arrest.
"The story behind the story is a message of grace, love and hope," said Webster. "But, most surprisingly, it is all turned around and not what it appears to be according to the public information records. I guess, you'll have to watch the YouTube news video to get the real story."
The Merle Haggard benefit concert was announced shortly after the dismissal of the charges by Siskiyou County Superior Court Judge Donald Langford on August 5, 2013.
"If the Haggards had played their cards right with Siskiyou, they probably would never have given us a concert," said the Siskiyou County news editor Webster. "It was an extraordinary story of grace, love and hope, but it was being extended to us from the Haggards, not remotely the other way around."
There is local talk that country music legend Merle Haggard may consider coming back, according to the news video. Webster personally extends his hope and desire for this to happen in the video, as a personal message from Siskiyou County to the Haggards.
Webster was the editor and publisher of the Pioneer Press in Fort Jones, Calif., a small weekly newspaper in northern California. He currently is the editor and publisher of dWebServe.com, a local community news hub for communities around the world.
