My Dear Litigation War Diary

My dear litigation war diary,

The day has arrived. The moment of truth. The undersigned's credibility was about to be put to the test. We have been waiting for this moment, like a dog who sees the bag of food being touched, ready to be poured a cupful.

Is this the Harvey Specter moment the undersigned was born for? Has it finally arrived? Would we get our law degree put to the test and actually have to sweat to argue?

It's Friday. 9 PM. We get the notification.

We go before the mirror. We loosen the collar. We do some shadow boxing. Left jab. Right hook. Constitutional violation. Due process uppercut. We look in the mirror: "All that money we paid for a law degree — now's the time."

Ready. Willing. Energized.

We check our reader messages.

We click.

We get...... Anita Weeks.

Anita Weeks

Mrs. Anita Weeks — Admin, Biloxi Politics Forum

Sorry to disappoint folks.

The shadow boxing stops. The fists drop. The dog realizes the bag was empty — barely a few pieces of kibble rattling at the bottom. Disappointment gives way.

Who?

The undersigned is not part of the Facebook group "Biloxi Politics Forum" — it is the least prevalent of all Biloxi groups. Apparently it was at some point called "Biloxi Politics Uncensored," but after seeing Anita's picture, we quickly understand why she decided to rebrand.

Mrs. Weeks is the Admin. And she has decided to post about us.

We consider ignoring it. It was probably not worth our time. But then we reconsider. It is likely she was tasked with trying to raise controversy. Someone sent her. Someone gave her documents. Someone is pulling strings.

Confession time.

It has been three weeks since November 18th. Counsel for defendants — Zachary Cruthirds, Joseph Ross, Michael Whitehead — along with Mr. Creel and the Mayor... they will not respond. To the emails. To the rebuttals. To all this stuff we have been doing. Radio silence. Complete blackout.

It appears their two brain cells finally started working. They realized it was better to shut up than to continue being an evidence manufacturing facility for RICO predicate acts. Before, by provoking the dinosaurs, they would lose their cool and commit mistakes — revealing more of the scheme with each angry response. Like a dumb dog that took about six months to learn, they finally figured out how to be quiet.

It sucks. The undersigned misses fighting with them over emails and constitutional rights.

Dear reader, you know when you are hungry and there is nothing you like? You search the fridge four times. You open the pantry. You close it. You open it again. And then, finally, defeated, you decide to eat the old peanut butter — not because you want it, but for lack of option?

Anita Weeks is our old peanut butter.

Let's go....... I guess?


The undersigned was not very motivated for this task. The target is not appealing. The usual fire, the passion, the righteous indignation for injustice against the people — it is not there. All we have to work with is a middle-aged woman with a very questionable past.

Give me your hand, dear reader. Help the undersigned. Walk with us through this exercise. We shall endure it together.


First, let us understand who we are dealing with, dear readers.

As Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War: "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."

The CIA's first rule of engagement: "Know your target."

Target: Middle-aged Facebook admin. Very large glasses. Fits the textbook description of "Karen." Runs a Facebook group that was strategically renamed from "Uncensored" to "Forum" — a rebrand we suspect was necessitated by circumstances rather than marketing strategy.

Next step: learn who she is with. The undersigned sees she is married.

We check court records.

Oh.

Oh my.

Mrs. Weeks's husband, Officer Weeks, was terminated from his law enforcement position. The circumstances of that termination are documented in legal proceedings. Testimony from Sergeant Brumley noted that Officer Weeks's "demeanor changed from offensive to an aggressive body posture," that his "tone had been angry and escalated at times," and that he "cried and used profanity when he discussed his anger toward a fellow officer."

And the pièce de résistance — Sgt. Brumley testified that Officer Weeks explained his behavior by claiming he had "white knight syndrome" and "always wanted to help people."

White knight syndrome. His words, under oath, not ours.

The undersigned, however conflicted by this interaction, recognizes that Mr. Weeks is at the very least passionate. He stood for what he believed. He fought. He sued. He did not go quietly.

And for that, this person has earned our respect.

We suspect this person has the right profile to be an acquaintance. Merits aside, our investigation into this person stopped here. We see his picture. He looks like a cool guy. Under different circumstances, we might share a beer and swap war stories about fighting City Hall.

But that is not why we are here.

We bring our car into reverse. Back to the Karen.

Following his termination, the Weeks family initiated litigation against the City of Biloxi.

Dear reader, do you see what we see? The same family that once accused the City of wrongdoing now serves as its unofficial propaganda arm. The same woman whose husband sued the City now carries water for City officials facing federal civil rights claims.

It is a little controversial, is it not? Her husband — such a passionate person — sued the City of Biloxi. And here she is, taking the City's position. Amplifying their narrative. Attacking their critics.

It seems Mrs. Anita is at war with herself. Or perhaps at war with her husband's legacy. Or perhaps something changed that we do not yet understand.

Too many red flags. Too many questions. Not enough answers.

Threat level disbands. The undersigned loses interest in this prong of investigation.

We move to the next.


Prong Two: Motivation

"Cui bono?" — Who benefits?

This is the first question every prosecutor, every investigator, every journalist learns to ask. The Romans understood it two thousand years ago. The FBI still teaches it today.

"Follow the money."Deep Throat, Watergate

"To understand what a person is doing, you must first understand what they think they are gaining."Robert Mueller

Why is Mrs. Weeks doing this? What does she gain from inserting herself into federal litigation? From posting about a private citizen? From attaching documents that mysteriously disappear?

The undersigned does not know her personal motivations. We can only observe her actions and ask questions.

And questions we did ask.

Readers familiar with this character report that she is a fangirl for Mr. Creel — our Sunday Pervert, for those keeping track at home. She reportedly has his direct cell phone number. She's hot stuff.

But what attracted our attention — what earned her these ten minutes of writing — is that she is in possession of the transcript from the November 7, 2025 Board of Adjustment and Appeals hearing.

She renamed it "Public Records."

Except that said Board meeting was not subject to open meetings requirements in a manner that would produce such a transcript. That transcript was commissioned by Michael Whitehead — defense counsel, our "spy," and star of our most famous article yet. The undersigned himself had difficulties obtaining this document. We had to pay for it. Court reporter fees. Certified copy. The whole process.

Yet this person — a Facebook admin with very large glasses — was given this ninety-page document. Meanwhile, Deputy City Clerk Catherine McMahan refuses to provide basic email documents to the undersigned through proper public records channels.

For instance: the undersigned recently received documents from McMahan. She would not email them. Instead, she printed them. And the printout broke down — pages missing, quality degraded, barely legible in parts. The undersigned was ashamed to share that with the FBI. The numbers for Currie Johnson's billing report did not quite match what appeared on the city docket — a strong indicia of fraud and cover-up. But that is a topic for another day.

The point is this: that is how the City treats the undersigned's document requests. Broken printouts. Missing pages. No emails.

But Mrs. Weeks? She has the digital transcript file. Ready to upload. Ready to share on Facebook.

Why does this person have the transcript file instead of a ninety-page broken printout like the rest of us?

And here is where it gets even more interesting. The PDF metadata shows the transcript was printed to PDF on Friday, December 12, 2025, at 3:40 PM.

That is a little suspicious for someone claiming a "December 11 request."

Sketchy gal. (You do identify as a gal, right? We need to ask these days.)

Curious.

Reasonable inference — the logical conclusion a reasonable person would draw from known facts, even without direct evidence — allows us to arrive at a conclusion.

Someone gave Mrs. Weeks that transcript. Someone with access. Someone who wanted it disseminated. Someone who perhaps could not do so themselves without raising questions.

Could this be "Rise and Shine" himself, trying to Rise? And maybe Shine?

For readers unfamiliar: "Rise and Shine" refers to Mr. Jerry Creel, who — along with his legal team — filed the undersigned's text message containing "Rise and shine! 😊" as evidence of harassment in federal court. An emoji. In federal court. As harassment.

The same Mr. Creel who has Mrs. Weeks's ear. The same Mr. Creel who has gone radio silent for three weeks. The same Mr. Creel who perhaps needed an unofficial channel to get his narrative out while his attorneys tell him to stay quiet.

The undersigned cannot prove this. We are merely asking questions. Observing patterns. Following the breadcrumbs.

But if Mr. Creel wanted to "rise and shine" through a proxy — a devoted Facebook admin who hangs on his every word — Mrs. Weeks would be a logical choice.

Allegedly.

Very well. Let us continue walking through how the undersigned processes information.


First Impressions

From her profile photograph, we observe that Mrs. Weeks wears very large glasses.

One would assume these assist with vision. One would assume they help her read things. Documents. Records. The International Residential Code. Basic facts.

One would be mistaken.

Because despite those impressive spectacles, Mrs. Weeks appears to have difficulty reading official documents accurately. Or perhaps she reads them just fine and simply chooses to present them... selectively. Creatively. In a manner that omits inconvenient details.

The undersigned cannot know which explanation applies. We can only observe the result.

Perhaps she should get those checked.


The Post

The undersigned is now a registered reporter and must follow ethical procedures.

And so we shall.

Let us read her post together, dear reader. United. Line by line. Fact by fact. Claim by claim.

On December 12, 2025, Mrs. Weeks posted about the undersigned and the federal lawsuit Petrini v. City of Biloxi. She referenced City Council executive sessions. She presented the City's narrative as established fact. She attached what she labeled "the MINUTES OF THE APPEAL."

What she did not mention, for instance, is Councilman Jamie Creel.

You see, dear reader, Jamie Creel abstained from voting on Resolution 434-25 — the appointment of Currie Johnson & Myers as City Attorney. Why did he abstain? Because his brother, William H. Creel Jr., is Director and Secretary of that very law firm. Jamie Creel knew voting to appoint his brother's firm would be an obvious conflict of interest.

Yet this same Jamie Creel — who recognized the conflict sufficient to abstain on the appointment — participated in the executive sessions discussing the Petrini litigation. The same litigation where Currie Johnson bills $150 per hour to defend. The same litigation where every dollar spent flows to his brother's law firm.

Under Mississippi Code § 25-4-105(1), no public servant shall use his official position to obtain pecuniary benefit for any relative or any business with which he is associated. William Creel is Jamie's brother. The statutory chain is complete.

A conflicted Councilman participating in executive session discussions about litigation that profits his brother's law firm taints the entire proceeding.

But Mrs. Weeks did not mention that. It would complicate the narrative.

Logic, it seems, is not the point here.

The comments that followed her post were... predictable. One commenter thanked "Biloxi for averting this apocalyptic disaster." Another criticized the property's appearance. Mrs. Weeks replied approvingly.

An apocalyptic disaster. Apocalyptic. Dear reader, our deck has been called many things in these proceedings — but apocalyptic disaster is new. We shall add it to the collection.

Then there is Mrs. Weeks herself, who replied to commenter Aaron Wilson: "I like the part where a pool wasn't going to have water or electricity hooked to it."

She was referencing the exchange at the Board hearing about whether a pool that is not yet installed — without plumbing or electrical yet — has been "installed."

Here we see Mrs. Weeks is "weeks away" from the truth.

A pool will have water. A pool needs electricity to power a pump. Once it is operational. The key word is yet. The pool is not installed yet. That is the entire point.

For the record: the pool is pre-fabricated and ICC-certified. Documentation below.

This comment shows that — just like our friends at the City — this person is not interested in facts. She is just trying to create problems.

Our deck brings strong feelings in people, it seems.

Jerry probably got his first hard-on in years reading that one.


Addressing the Claims

Dear reader, in federal litigation, it is good practice to address each claim and reference it by its numbered paragraph. Defendants do this. Plaintiffs do this. Courts expect this.

And so shall we.

Let us number Mrs. Weeks's claims and address them one by one. Methodically. Like adults.

Claim 1: "Steel beams were not allowed."

Response: We have been through this before. Literally.

On December 24, 2024, Building Inspector Jeff Harbor issued a stop work order alleging — on the record — "unfamiliarity with steel construction." The City's own inspector admitted he did not understand steel.

By the way, he is quitting too.

We received notice that Mr. Harbor has planned his departure from the Building Department. While he was a primary causation agent in these constitutional violations, the undersigned will release him from the federal lawsuit once he is truly out. Biloxi will be better with one less corrupt, ignorant inspector. Once he can no longer harm the people, he becomes a nobody unworthy of our attention.

Godspeed, Mr. Harbor. May your next employer never ask you to inspect steel.

Our Engineer of Record, Terry Moran, PE, met in person with Building Inspector Robert Standsbery. He explained the design. They reviewed the plans. They settled the matter. Andrew Harwell delivered the updated plans to the Building Department three times in December — rejected for missing page stamps, rejected for insufficient copies, then finally accepted. The stop work order was lifted on January 3, 2025.

The helical pile foundation and steel columns already existed at that point. The City accepted them. The work continued.

And let us be clear: the City does not contest that the four footings — the only footings, located beneath the pool columns — were in fact inspected and approved.

The "not inspected" claim pertains to the helical piles. But here is the technical reality that Mrs. Weeks, with her very large glasses, apparently cannot see: helical piles are the footings. They are large steel augers driven into the ground. There is no separate "footing" to inspect because the helical pile itself is the load-bearing foundation element.

But we shall not expect Mrs. Weeks to understand technical references. Engineering is not her forte. Facebook administration is.

Since the November 7, 2025 hearing — where Jerry Creel claimed on the record that footings were "covered with concrete" — the undersigned took action. On November 12, 2025, we broke the slab allegedly covering the footings. We jackhammered it open. In the presence of federal witnesses.

There was no footing beneath. There was no concrete pile cap. There was steel connected to steel.

We then called the City to conduct an inspection. They came on November 18, 2025.

And since that day? They have not provided the inspection report.

Twenty-four days. No report.

They cannot find a way to manufacture reasoning. They have tried for six months. They know this is a horrible case that goes beyond money. Several persons' freedom — the kind that involves picking up soap — is on the table.

Jerry Creel himself committed four felony instances of perjury in his July 10, 2025 affidavits. The undersigned called him a criminal and a mafioso to his face, on the record, at the November 7 hearing — the same transcript Mrs. Weeks posted.

But she did not mention that part.

Curious.

Interestingly, Creel initially claimed he never received those plans.

Then he was proved wrong.

So at the November 7, 2025 Board hearing, Creel actually showcased the very plans he claimed never existed — except now his argument shifted. Now the plans were somehow "insufficient." How were they insufficient? He could not say. Which code provision did they violate? He could not identify one.

This is a man who is not an engineer. Who holds no engineering license. Who cannot read structural calculations. Who admitted — on the record, at the November 7 hearing — that he was "directed" by Peter Abide to issue the June 30, 2025 stop work order.

Directed.

The Building Official does not make his own decisions. The City Attorney — an outside contractor billing $150 per hour — tells him what to do. And Creel does it.

Now, months later, the City resurrects the same objection they already resolved. "Steel beams were not allowed" — except they were allowed, after the City's own process determined they were acceptable.

But wait — it gets better.

On August 13, 2025, lawyer Joseph Ross — working under Peter Abide — filed a document containing manufactured "findings" that he attributed to an engineer. The problem? The engineer mentioned in the document denied ever making those findings.

The City's own lawyer fabricated engineering conclusions and put them in writing.

The undersigned then hired a new engineer — Dreux Seghers, PE — to investigate the City's claims. His report demonstrates the structure operates at 80% capacity with a 20% safety margin. The City has not disputed the engineering. They dispute paperwork they already approved.

This is not code enforcement. This is harassment with a bureaucratic costume.


A Brief Intermission: The Fun Evidence

Dear reader, before we continue, let us share two pieces of evidence that bring the undersigned great joy.

Exhibit A: The Secret Motion

Prosecutor Robert Harenski — the first defendant to settle, now conveniently "retired" — filed a Motion for Pretrial Diversion on July 25, 2025. This motion was filed through secret channels, outside normal docketing, without notice to the defendant.

The motion ordered mandatory appearance at a pretrial diversion conference on August 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM, at the Community Development Department — Jerry Creel's office. Mandatory, as in: failure to appear constitutes contempt of court.

A prosecutor filed a secret motion requiring a defendant to appear before the complaining witness, without notice, with contempt of court consequences for non-appearance.

This is not how courts work. This is how traps work.

Mr. Harenski has since "retired." The undersigned suspects the timing is not coincidental.

Exhibit B: The Email Where They Admit They Have No Case

On August 8, 2025, Jerry Creel sent an email regarding the pretrial diversion meeting. In it, he explained that he was "still awaiting the report from the Consulting Structural Engineer" and that "meeting before the report is received would not be productive since we would not have any of the conclusions or recommendations."

Read that again.

The City issued criminal charges. The City issued a stop work order. The City obtained a cease and desist order. The City scheduled a pretrial diversion conference.

And the Building Official admitted — in writing — that he did not yet have an engineering opinion on whether the deck was actually illegal.

They charged first. They would figure out why later.

This is not code enforcement. This is "shoot first, ask questions never."

We shall add these exhibits to the collection.


Claim 2: "Footings were covered up with concrete."

Response: This is demonstrably false. On November 11-12, 2025, in the presence of federal witnesses, the undersigned conducted a foundation exposure operation using jackhammers. The exposure revealed an all-steel foundation system with welded steel-to-steel connections. There is no concrete cover-up. There are no concrete pile caps. Photographic and video documentation exists in the federal court record. Mrs. Weeks either did not know this — in which case she should not be posting authoritatively about the case — or she knew and omitted it.

Claim 3: "No Certificate of Occupancy has been given."

Response: Correct. And why? Because the City issued a facially invalid stop work order addressed to "To Whom It May Concern" rather than to the property owner — a violation of IRC R114.2. Because the Building Board acted ultra vires by voting to "deny" the appeal when their authority under IRC R112 permits only "affirm," "reverse," or "modify." Because the undersigned has been trapped in a Kafka-esque loop where compliance is made impossible by design.

Claim 4: "The deck was not being passed."

Response: Let us review the timeline.

Before June 2, 2025 — the date the undersigned filed the federal lawsuit — the deck was fine. Inspections had been conducted. Work was progressing. No existential crisis over steel beams.

After June 2, 2025? The deck became an apocalyptic disaster requiring armed police officers and criminal charges.

Curious timing.

The newest inspection occurred on November 18, 2025. The undersigned has been calling ever since, asking: where is the report?

The City must now explain how three licensed Professional Engineers are wrong. The first was Terry Moran, PE. The second was Dreux Seghers, PE. The third — and Mrs. Weeks may want to sit down for this — is Commander Fitzgerald, NASA Director of Engineering.

NASA.

Commander Fitzgerald reviewed the Finite Element Analysis verifying the Terry Moran, PE engineering plans — 130 pages of advanced computational modeling. For those unfamiliar: FEA is a computerized method that divides a structure into thousands of small elements and calculates the stress, strain, and deformation at each point under various load conditions. It is how NASA ensures spacecraft do not disintegrate during launch. It is how Boeing verifies aircraft wings will not snap. It is the gold standard of structural verification.

This 130-page FEA report — verifying Moran's engineering — was delivered to Jerry Creel on July 9, 2025.

The next day — July 10, 2025 — Creel signed four perjured affidavits to bring criminal charges.

He had NASA-grade engineering proof in his hands. He chose to commit perjury instead.

The City of Biloxi must now argue that their non-engineer Building Official — who was "directed" by an outside contractor attorney — knows more about structural engineering than a NASA Director.

We await that filing with great anticipation.

Furthermore, at the November 7 hearing, the Board denied the undersigned two fundamental rights of quasi-judicial proceedings: first, the right for his engineer, Dreux Seghers, PE, to speak; and second, the right to rebut Jerry Creel's testimony.

No engineer testimony permitted. No rebuttal permitted. Just Creel's unchallenged narrative, rubberstamped by a Board that voted ultra vires.

But Mrs. Weeks did not mention any of that either.


The Mic Passes to the Undersigned

We have addressed Mrs. Weeks's claims. Now, we shall return the gesture.

Let us look into Mrs. Anita Weeks's own dealings.

As we mentioned at the top of this article, Sun Tzu teaches us to know our target. The CIA agrees.

So the undersigned did some research.

Terry's Coin Laundry
10122 Central Ave, D'Iberville, MS 39540

Permanently closed.

Google Reviews: 2.4 stars out of 5. One hundred twenty-three reviews.

Let us sample some of the public feedback:

"Needs clean and lots of other stuff people smoking inside just nasty place"
"It's a shame too, perfect location but half of everything is broken."
"Trash cans were filled to the brim with food trash resulting in flies."
"Nastiest laundry Mat i have ever been to there was muddy water everywhere loose clothing items on the floor..."
"Dirty place. Rude staff. Broken machines. Clothes would come out cleaner if you washed them in the sewer."

Here is what we know as verifiable fact: The original owner of this establishment passed away. The owner's son subsequently "cleaned up" the location. The laundromat is now permanently closed.

Here is what was transmitted to us: Allegations that crime — including prostitution — overtook the location after the owner's death.

We cannot independently verify these allegations. But the laundromat is real. The death is real. The closure is real. The reviews speak for themselves.

Now, here is where it gets interesting.

Mrs. Anita Weeks — who lives in Biloxi — owns an auto shop called Central Avenue Station, located at 10144 Central Ave, D'Iberville, MS 39540. This is verifiable fact.

That is the same block. Same street. Adjacent businesses. Also verifiable fact.

Here is what was transmitted to us by sources: Allegations that Mrs. Weeks's auto shop reportedly provided "cash back" services — card swipes for cash — so that customers could then "pay" for services at the neighboring laundromat.

And what were those services? We do not know. We are asking.

The undersigned makes no findings of fact — unlike Mrs. Weeks, who stated her claims about our property as established truth. We merely present the allegations that have been transmitted to us and ask questions.

Given the proximity of the businesses, is it plausible? We leave that to the reader.

Was Central Avenue Station — the auto shop — providing cash advance services to facilitate transactions at Terry's Coin Laundry? Were those transactions for... laundry? We do not know. We are asking.

Mrs. Weeks is welcome to respond to these questions at contact@peoplevsbiloxi.com. Her response will be published in full, unedited. Unlike her post about the undersigned, we offer the right of reply.

In this article alone, we have provided: a prosecution settlement agreement, emails from Jerry Creel admitting he had no engineering proof, fabricated findings from counsel, professional engineering reports from multiple licensed PEs, and a 130-page Finite Element Analysis from a NASA Director of Engineering.

We will be waiting for Mrs. Weeks's proof.

Perhaps business records showing she did not partake in said activities? Bank statements? Sworn affidavits? We do not know what form her evidence will take — but we expect her to answer in the same manner she accused: with data, exhibits, and explanations of her reasoning.

Until then, we find it curious that a woman whose business operations were adjacent to establishments of questionable repute now positions herself as a moral authority on construction permits and federal litigation.

Mrs. Weeks also runs Anita Weeks Photography — a Facebook page where she describes herself as "an amateur Photographer who lives on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and loves birds and scenery." Her latest photoshoot features some boats at night. Out of focus.

Well, she does say she's an amateur. She's not wrong.

Perhaps the glasses help her see some things more clearly than others.


An Invitation to Mrs. Weeks

Ms. Anita.

Click contact. Or post on your little page. We will address.

Silence is also an option.

But people like you are usually fun at the start. You try hard to win. You come out swinging with your very large glasses and your exclusive access to documents and your fangirl devotion to Jerry Creel.

We are here for you.

In every medium you would like to engage: social media, website, a lawsuit — as you demonstrated, you have our address. It was right there on those court documents you posted.

The undersigned does not hide. We do not delete posts.

We publish. We cite. We wait.

Your move, Mrs. Weeks.


The Sword

"He who takes up the sword shall perish by the sword."

Mrs. Weeks chose to enter this arena. She named a private citizen. She described his property. She made claims about his construction. She invited public commentary celebrating the City's actions.

She did this while her husband's history with the City sits in public records. She did this while maintaining confirmed direct communications with a defendant in federal court.

Anita Weeks wanted to talk about Yuri Petrini.

Now everyone can talk about Anita Weeks.
