I-Team: New Developments in Process Server Investigation
Posted: Aug 10, 2010
LAS VEGAS -- There are new developments and a new arrest in the ongoing investigation into a process serving company and the court system.
That company, On Scene Mediation, now has two employees under suspicion of falsifying court documents and putting upwards of 20,000 cases at risk. It could cost $150,000 in taxpayer money to sort through the cases involved.
The company owner and employee are accused of saying they served papers but didn't. Maurice Carroll, a former Metro police officer, was running the company out of his North Las Vegas home. He is facing 35 felonies and a court date next week.
Visalia Coleman, one of Carroll's employees, is facing eight charges. She was arrested after a traffic stop on Monday. Metro and the courts say the two and other workers at On Scene Mediation lied on court documents about serving papers.

Busy Times for Las Vegas Process Servers
Las Vegas Now - Feb 11, 2009
With foreclosures at an all time high in Nevada, those who serve foreclosure notices have been busier than ever. In some cases, letting people know they are about to lose their homes has turned into a dangerous job for process servers.
You wouldn't think it's a dangerous job, but on this morning, Norma McMahon is reminding her employees about their safety, "You need to remember, if you have any incidents out in the field you have to call the officer immediately."
McMahan runs a legal process service that serves people with legal notices -- a job that isn't getting any easier, "It's all having to do with collections, people losing their homes, people losing their vehicles, people who can not make ends meet."
Hard times are keeping her servers busier than ever, "Before all this happened, I rarely saw a foreclosure. We didn't see them very often, in all honesty."
But times have changed. Jeannie Smith is a process server and knows first hand how desperate times can affect people, "Some people lie, say they aren't them but they are because I have a picture of them. One man was really mean. He threatened me -- if I ever come back again he would shoot me, and bring me in his back yard and bury me."
