Abduction: Mother-in-law pepper spays witness trying to rescue Summer Inman
LOGAN, Ohio -- A search warrant released Wednesday revealed that Summer Inman’s mother-in-law, the person driving the vehicle used in Summer’s abduction, pepper-sprayed a witness who tried to intervene and save Summer.
At about 11 p.m. Summer went into the alley behind the bank. Two men dressed in black forced her into their white Crown Victoria driven by a “bleach blonde” woman.
The two men were Summer’s estranged husband, William A. Inman, Jr. 26, and his father William A. Inman, Sr., 47. The driver was Summer’s mother-in-law Sandra K. Inman, 46.
At least one person tried to save Summer, the warrant read, and was hit with pepper spray by the woman driving the car, Sandra Inman.

Lady Cop, Damn good report! I doubt if we'd read this in the Toledo Blade Lady Cop Post #64 - I was stunned to hear this woman used pepper spray - what a wicked bitch! Sure she is sorry.

LOGAN, Ohio — Video released on Thursday showed a violent outburst by a man accused of kidnapping his daughter-in-law and suspected in her death.
Video taken from a Vinton County sheriff's deputy cruiser showed the temper of William A. Inman, a man who neighbors said controlled his family and thought of himself as a religious leader.
The video was taken in December, when deputies evicted the Inmans from their home.
The deputy was called to the house to protect Inman's estranged daughter-in-law, Summer Inman, and her boyfriend.
Deputy Ryan Cain said Summer was most worried about her father-in-law, who, in front of deputies, blamed her for the family's problems.
"She said that her and her husband had been in some arguments in the past, and he always got involved, and he had a real bad temper," Cain said.
When Summer's boyfriend pulled up, it sent William A. Inman into a rage.
"He said he was going to '(Expletive) shoot him. Or (expletive) kill him,'" Cain said. "He squared off with me and said 'Don't put your hands on me.' I said, 'Now I've heard you yell at everyone else here long enough, you're going to be placed under arrest.' He said 'No, I'm not.' And it just instantly turned into a fight."
Cain eventually had to use a Taser to subdue William A. Inman.
Cain said when he heard about the Inmans allegedly being involved in Summer's kidnapping, he was disappointed but not surprised.
"William Inman is their leader, like their king. They'll do what he says," Cain said. "They're blinded by loyalty and he's blinded by rage."
Those orders of protection aren't worth the paper they are printed on & I think anyone who believes they will offer security need to wake the hell up & find a way to protect themselves. Buy a gun & learn how to use it. No one can save you but yourself.

Great post
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Richard "Joey" Leake, 21, had a chemical sprayed in his eyes when he attempted to aid Summer Inman.
HAYDENVILLE, Ohio - As the oldest of four children, Richard Leake is used to standing up for people.
So when he heard a woman's desperate screams as he walked down a Logan alley late on the night of March 22, he knew he had to do something.
"It sounded like she was getting her arm cut off," said Leake, 21, who is known as Joey to his friends and family.
The first thing that Leake saw next to the Century National Bank was a white vehicle that looked like a police car. He then saw two men dressed in black, who he figured were police officers.
But as he got closer, he noticed that there was a woman curled in a ball beneath the open car door, attempting to fend off the men.
As 25-year-old Summer Inman continued to scream, Leake realized these men weren't police: He saw that they wore ski masks and that they were shocking her with a stun gun.
"They held it on her," Leake said. "You can't forget something like that ... the way they were Tazing her."
Leake moved quickly in an attempt to help. He said he got about a foot from the car when the woman driving the car - he said she was a bleached blonde - cried out to warn the men that he was coming up behind them.
That's when the taller of the two men turned around and blinded Leake with a chemical spray.
"They pepper-sprayed me and then my vision went blank," said Leake, who then ran for his own safety. He said he ran into a woman walking toward him and told her what was happening, and they called police.
It was the last time anyone would see Summer Inman alive.
Summer's estranged husband, William A. Inman II, 26, and his parents, William A. Inman, 47, and Sandra Inman, 46, are charged in her kidnapping and are being held in lieu of $1 million bond each.
More charges are expected in connection with Summer's death. Her body was discovered on Tuesday, bound with plastic ties in the septic tank of an Athens County church. She had been strangled.
Authorities say Sandra Inman revealed the location of the body as part of a plea deal. The Faith Tabernacle Church, nestled alongside Rt. 33 just north of Nelsonville, was familiar to the Inmans, who had attended the church and been married there.
Authorities say Summer and William Inman II were fighting over custody of their three small children, who are now living with Summer's parents.
The crime-scene tape at the church has been taken down, but remembrances of Summer remain around the building, and in her hometown of Logan.
The churchyard has become a makeshift memorial to the slain mother. Balloons, flowers and notes line the ground near the church's entrance. Similar memorials are scattered throughout Logan, where yellow, purple and green ribbons still are tied to trees, street signs and telephone posts of that Hocking County town.
"You don't ever think you would see something like that in a small town like this," said Leake, who lives in Haydenville, just south of Logan. "It bothers me; I should have done something else."
Leake's mother was more than a little shaken after hearing of her son's attempt to help Summer.
"What if they had a gun? They could have shot him," said Misti Leake, 37, who said she was in bed when her oldest son came home at almost 3 a.m. March 23 with his left eye nearly swollen shut.
"He's always been the one to stick up for people," she said.
But attempting to help cost Joey Leake more than a swollen eye. After staying at the Hocking County sheriff's office until the early morning hours that day, he overslept and missed work, causing him to be fired from his job at Saw Miller Inc., a hardwood-packaging outlet that's only a few hundred feet from his front door.
"They said, 'No call, no show' and fired him on the spot," Misti Leake said. "I don't think they knew the full extent of what happened at the time."
Joey, who has worked at the hardwood warehouse for four years, cut his former employer some slack. He had missed two days of work the previous week, he said, so the third day was the clincher.
Despite that, Joey Leake said the only thing he'd change about the night of March 22, if he could, is he'd try to do more to save Summer Inman.
"I've heard people say that I should have done more, and I've heard people say that I did what I could do. In a way it's both," he said. "I wish I could have did more for her, but I did what I could do.
Richard "Joey" Leake was a good samaritan that night - he was brave, trying to help save Summer Inman from this trio from Hell! I hope his eyes will recover from the ordeal! Thank God the 21 yearold didn't get shot by these insane people - I know his Mother has to be badly shaken with it all, it's a dangerous business out there! I was really shocked these bastards used a stun gun. They are Evil to the core!
I hope Richard "Joey" Leake's employer will re-consider his termination (have a heart) after all he was a worker at your business for 4 years.
Summer Cook Inman kept journals from the time she was a girl. She wrote an entry shortly before she left her husband, Will Inman, in June. The entry became part of their divorce file. Following are excerpts:
"I'm so tired of having to please everyone else but leaving myself high and dry. Don't I deserve to be happy, too? Don't I deserve to fall in love with someone again and feel love from someone again? I think so ... I don't know if it's the right time to tell Willy or not ... I feel bad not telling him because I think he deserves to know the truth and to know that I don't want to be with him right now.
"I want to be alone for a while and find out who I am again. I'm just some slave that runs around and does as she's told ... I'm so used to just doing whatever everyone else wants to that I've forgotten who I am.
"I love my kids with all my heart and I wouldn't trade them for anything, but I don't want them to grow up remembering their mom as someone that just did as she was told. ... I would be OK with shared custody and wouldn't try for full custody unless he wanted me to or forced me to. I think that the kids should see both of us the same amount of time.
"I just don't know how Willy will react to all of this. I don't know if he will get mad and try to take the kids and run, if he will threaten to hurt me, or worse yet actually do it, or if he will be civil about it and let us try a separation and see what happens ... I know his parents will gang up on me and try to get me to just work things out and not want me to leave.
"But I don't think that I can work things out unless we are separated. I can't focus on myself and what I really want unless I don't have to focus on what he wants. He asked me last night during an argument what I wanted. I couldn't answer that because I don't know what I want. I know that I don't want this ... I don't want to be unhappy and feel trapped. I don't want to not know who I am anymore. But I couldn't tell him that. So I just sat there in silence. ...
"All I want to do all day is cry and sleep. I just don't know how to get out of this situation and have it end well. Maybe by the next time I write I'll have figured it out."
Bill Inman considered himself a man of God. BUT HE WAS A FUCKING LOSER.
Tiring of playing the piano and strumming his guitar at Faith Tabernacle Church near Nelsonville, where he had married his wife, Sandy, in 1983, he set out to shepherd his own flock.
He converted a garage at his rural Hocking County home into a church around 2004. It never attracted many of the faithful.
Bill then led his family - Sandy, their son, Will; their daughter-in-law, Summer; and the grandkids - to Florida for two years in search of construction work for himself and Will. But they lost their home in Arcadia to foreclosure.
Bill returned to Ohio in mid-2008 with the family in tow and new designs on the ministry, this time in rural Vinton County.
He obtained a minister's license last spring, listing himself as the leader of Mercy Tabernacle Church and creating Mercy Ranch - a nonprofit organization - with Sandy.
Bill envisioned Mercy Ranch as ministering to orphans and widows, "to help people who has lost their jobs or been cut back on hours keep their homes," he wrote in an incorporation document filed with the Ohio secretary of state's office.
To fund his charity, Bill set out to sell $10 raffle tickets, promising on a website to award a new home or $200,000 and 99 other big-ticket prizes in September, once 100,000 tickets had been sold and $1 million raised.
But it all soon collapsed. Mercy Ranch went nowhere. Summer left Will in June, taking the grandkids with her. Bill and Sandy were thrown out of their Vinton County home on Dec. 1 for failing to make the payments. It was against this backdrop of personal and family failures - as recounted in interviews, police reports and court records - that Summer Inman was killed. She was snatched in a Logan parking lot by two men wearing ski masks on the night of March 22 and wrestled into a car driven by a blond woman.
Summer was bound, strangled and stuffed in the underground septic tank behind Faith Tabernacle, the church her father-in-law had helped build with his carpentry skills and had filled with his music.
It ultimately was mother-in-law Sandy who pointed police on Tuesday to Summer's unholy grave after striking a deal with prosecutors. The three Inmans have pleaded not guilty to kidnapping, and the deal Sandy made has not been revealed. No one has been charged in Summer's death yet.
Yellow, purple and green ribbons in Summer's memory flutter throughout Logan, where friends and family will gather at 1 p.m. Monday for her funeral at First Church Praise and Worship Center.
