Jury bribing suspect Darine Chely denied lower bond

By Vanessa Miller, Camera Staff Writer Posted: 07/23/2010

A 51-year-old Boulder woman accused of trying to bribe a juror during her April trial and then attempting to flee the country was denied a lower bond this morning, despite her pleas that she has significant emotional and physical health issues that she needs to treat.

Darine Chely is being held at the Boulder County Jail on a combined $625,000 bond for three separate cases, including one in which she's accused of bribing a juror and another stemming from a February arrest in which she's suspected of theft and witness-tampering charges.

Her attorney, Scott McComas, told a Boulder County District Court judge that Chely has enough equity in her house to meet a lower bond, which she needs to deal with some “pretty serious” emotional health and physical issues.

A process server didn't come to Melissa Etheridge's window, but his arrival at the door of her hotel room wasn't particularly welcome, either.

"In a ploy to have me served, and mistakenly believing that by serving me I would have to dismiss my Petition, [Tammy Lynn Michaels] used our children as pawns," Etheridge states in a declaration released Thursday in which she describes how she was presented with her ex's petition for sole custody of their 3-year-old twins.

The Grammy and Oscar winner says Michaels told her the kids were going to meet Etheridge at her hotel. "Finally, I received a text message...stating, 'My plans changed, sorry,'" the singer recounts.

Under the category ... "When it rains, it pours" ... Lindsay Lohan was just served with legal papers in a civil lawsuit while she was in the courtroom elevator.

Lindsay was in the elevator at the Bev Hills Courthouse, on her way to Judge Marsha Revel's courtroom at about 8:25 this AM, when a process server working for a company called Tough As Nails attempted to hand Lindsay legal docs.

The process server says Lindsay "freaked out," told people around her to get the guy out of the elevator and away from her. The process server says he attempted to hand Lindsay the papers but she would not take them so he dropped them on the elevator floor, by her feet.
