Added: 2026-05-07

[00:00:01]Plaintiff Parthnia Ford was friends with the defendant, but she claims the defendant was so disloyal that she cheated on her husband while her husband was in the house. Parththenia claims after the defendant went to Wisconsin to have sex with a married couple, they abandoned her and Parthnia had to pick her up. So, she's suing for a towing fee, a tire repair, gas, and tolls.

[00:00:27]Defendant Roberta Jenkins insists she never cheated on her husband and the only reason she went to Wisconsin with her married friends was to see a Bulls game. Roberta insists Parthnia is suing her for more than she owes because she already paid her for the gas and tolls.

[00:00:45]>> Start with you.

[00:00:45]>> I met Robera Jenkins 2009 through a mutual friend and I thought she was a loyal friend to me. Um, in 2010, Miss Jenkins took my credit card and linked it to her phone account and paid and I paid her phone bill. Yes, she did.

[00:01:01]Yes, she did.

[00:01:02]>> A phone bill?

[00:01:03]>> How did she get your credit?

[00:01:04]>> Since when?

[00:01:04]>> I sent her to go pick up some Jordans for me because I had to go to work and I gave her my credit card to go pick up the shoes.

[00:01:11]>> She's a lie. She's a lie.

[00:01:13]>> And she linked my credit card to her phone account and that was in 2010. I forgave her for that and went on and still be friends with her. Your honor.

[00:01:24]>> Yeah. Right.

[00:01:24]>> In 2010, your honor, also she cheated on her husband. She ain't loyal to him either.

[00:01:30]>> She ain't loyal to him.

[00:01:31]>> Why you worried about me?

[00:01:32]>> Because she slept with my god brother in in her house in the basement while her husband was upstairs.

[00:01:37]>> Who? She ain't loyal to him.

[00:01:39]>> And who is that? And she's married.

[00:08:18]Where you got that receipt though?

[00:08:20]>> It was $249.

[00:08:22]Your sir, >> she gave me $40.

[00:08:26]>> So, the total came to $29.

[00:08:28]>> What do you say to this ma'am?

[00:08:30]>> Sir.

[00:08:31]>> Mhm.

[00:08:31]>> She lying. Now, when on our way back, it was the tire did pop. I can't agree to that. When the towing when we got to the toward, my words was, "I'm gonna help you, which I'm offering to pay you half on the tire because yeah, we out here.

[00:08:48]You are out here because of me." Yes, I understand that. So, yes, I did offer her half on the tire and the whatever.

[00:08:56]>> And >> then, >> what was wrong with the tire? Why did it uh >> It blew when we was coming around on the highway. The tire blew. I also have a statement.

[00:09:05]>> Something was wrong with it already. No, there was brand new tires, your honor, that I just put on my car, >> your honor. And I have a picture of the tire.

[00:09:13]>> Why do you think it blew then?

[00:09:14]>> I honestly don't know because we was going about 90 miles over. She was driving. She was driving.

[00:09:20]>> Were you going?

[00:09:21]>> She was going about 90.

[00:09:22]>> I was doing eight.

[00:09:23]>> And I had my oneyear-old daughter and No, you wasn't. No, you wasn't. Okay. 10 miles over the speed limit.

[00:09:30]>> Were they new tires to your knowledge?

[00:09:32]>> To my knowledge. That's what y'all said.

[00:09:33]But when when we went I do, too. And when we went to Sears after we came back to Michigan City cuz she was claiming it was a new tire, she went and that man told her it was wear and tear from her not keeping air in the tire. I also have a picture too.

[00:09:49]>> Let's see it, please.

[00:09:52]Well, low on air combined with 80 to 90 uh miles an hour would cause that.

[00:10:00]>> And that's on the way back. Low air without 80 to 90 would not. So she can have low air and do the speed limit.

[00:10:09]What she can't have is low air and go >> 80 to 90 miles an hour. So that would cause a blowout.

[00:10:17]>> 90 when they came and got me. And your honor, >> I'm unclear on what this means all whether it means all of the money or half of the money. But what I do know is you agreed to pay. And what I am going to conclude is that it was your fault.

[00:10:31]All right. Judgment for the plaint of $29.

[00:10:37]>> Thirsty.

[00:10:39]>> I'm I'm sure you going to go sad to your friend in jail, huh?

[00:10:43]>> Boogie will be happy you uh got him 2009. Oh, yes he do. This is a real mama.

[00:10:49]>> Oh, I did have a whole house.

[00:10:55]Plainif Savannah Hart says when she first met the defendant, she was a stripper and they drank and did meth together. Savannah claims she and the defendant married and after they quit using drugs, they decided to have a child. However, she's suing him today because he assaulted her and damaged her property. Defendant Joe Hart says after he appeared before Judge Matthysse in 2010, he went through a divorce and got hooked on meth. Joe says Savannah was an escort and she's the one who instigated the physical fight by biting his lip.

[00:11:29]Joe petitioned the court for a DNA test because he has doubts about fathering Savannah's child.

[00:11:36]>> Start with you.

[00:11:37]>> When we first got together, he was a biker. I was a stripper. We were doing meth. We were doing a lot of drugs, drinking. Yes.

[00:11:44]>> And you were a dancer during those years. An exotic dancer.

[00:11:48]>> Yes. I I had started probably in 2009 I think though 2010 dancing >> slashes escort.

[00:11:55]>> And how did you change?

[00:11:58]>> Well, we had gotten together, did the crazy life, and then we decided we're going to change our lives and get married. And then we got married, but we continued to drink together. And then we decided we're going to try to have a child. Well, we ended up having our baby.

[00:12:12]>> What has it been like your marriage?

[00:12:15]>> Well, we fought a lot. We drank and that's why I'm suing is because something that happened a few months after we had gotten married.

[00:12:22]>> Okay, we'll get to that. Sir, you uh give me some background.

[00:12:26]>> Well, first of all, your honor, I'd like to start off with I was here in 2010 on the show, and I really feel like justice prevailed for me then, and I'm sure hoping it does today. Uh when I left here last time, I did happen to go through a divorce from my my first wife in 2011, which is approximately time I started smoking meth. Um up until that point, I had owned a business. I had 40 employees working for me at the time and that's the reason I was here last time was an employee had stolen from the company.

[00:12:52]>> You had 40 employees when you came.

[00:12:54]>> Yes sir.

[00:12:55]>> In 2010.

[00:12:56]>> Yes sir. Was it a lab?

[00:12:58]>> After >> it wasn't a meth lab.

[00:13:01]>> It wasn't a lab.

[00:13:02]>> No.

[00:13:03]>> It was a ripping company.

[00:13:04]>> When you left you become a meth head and lost everything. Well, I went through a divorce and that kind of >> Everybody else come in here and say, "Judge, you inspired me to change my life and you did the reverse on me."

[00:13:16]>> I've had a I had a rough couple years.

[00:13:18]>> You hurt my reputation.

[00:13:21]>> I blame the ex-wife for that, not you.

[00:13:23]>> Okay.

[00:13:23]>> Blame the ex >> and maybe the motorcycle club a little bit, too.

[00:13:27]>> All right. Go ahead. When I left and I started going through divorce, I met a guy who was in a motorcycle club and I became good friends with them and we started hanging out and I ended up joining the motorcycle club myself, which actually turns out how I met the plaintiff here. Me and the some of the brothers in the club went out to a strip club one night and this is who I seen on stage. Um, it really started out as a one night stand gone wrong. Um, it's lasted several years, so it's been a lot more than a one night stand.

[00:13:55]>> What was it like during those years?

[00:13:56]During those years, I constantly caught her talking to other men on Facebook. I would go through her phone sometimes and I'd see her sending pictures to other men, talking to other men. And uh >> was she still dancing in the club?

[00:14:07]>> Yes. And I also found out >> that's a business.

[00:14:09]>> Well, she also went missing for three days one time and found out later she was meeting a guy just to give him some company.

[00:14:15]>> And you know, she was smoking meth for three days. You're a methhead. You should know you come up missing two, three days. You're smoking meth. You're on a binge. Go ahead. Um, after that her and I we had our rocky points in our relationship. We >> So you want to crack?

[00:14:30]>> No, definitely not to crack. No, sir.

[00:14:34]>> You say you had rocks?

[00:14:36]>> No, rocky places.

[00:14:38]>> Oh, rocky places.

[00:14:39]>> Rocky places. I had gotten in I had gotten into a physical altercation with a with another man and ended up going on the run and uh that took us across the country where I ultimately ended up in another jail in another state.

[00:14:53]And uh once I got out of there, I came back to Nebraska and um after after all that, she her and I were not together for some time and I tried to we tried to reconcile some things. Um and that's when the night in question happened. Um >> Okay. But since you got married, you've been clean for the most part other than drinking except >> Yeah, I was in prison. So, >> and they have more dope in prison than they >> They do. But at that point, I was determined to change my life back to how it was.

[00:15:20]>> Okay. Plaintiff Savannah Hart is legally married to the defendant, but he petitioned the court for a paternity test because he has doubts about fathering her son.

[00:15:31]>> Let's hear about what happened with this assault that you're suing him for and the uh damaged property. What happened?

[00:15:39]>> Well, we were at a bar and we were drinking, of course, and he seems to think because of his own insecurities that I was flirting with somebody.

[00:15:45]>> Insecurities? She gives them to me. Your honor, >> let her finish. Well, he seemed to think that I was flirting with somebody. I said, "No, I'm not." So, he decided out of spite, he was going to go flirt with the bartender. So, being the bigger person, I just left. I wasn't going to cause a scene and fight there at the bar. I left. Well, he was pissed off that I left.

[00:16:03]>> And so, whenever he found me walking home, >> she's not telling the whole story.

[00:16:06]>> Let her finish.

[00:16:07]>> So, whenever he found walking home, he snatched me up and threw me in the truck and we went home and we argued a little bit. It didn't get physical. And then we ended up having sex. We went to bed together. And when we're done with sex, literally still naked in bed, he decides to whisper in my ear, "Let's just be friends." And this is after we've been married for four months. And so when then he tried to kiss me afterwards like it was a sweet nothing. I bit his lip and as soon as he leaned forward, I kicked him in the chest off the bed.

[00:16:34]>> And >> she bit through my lip.

[00:16:36]>> Yeah. Well, whenever he got back up, I saw a look on his face and realized I made a huge mistake. And I immediately started to apologize, but it was too late. He was already raging mad at me and he knocked me off the bed. He'd slap me. When I tried to walk away, he'd grab me by my hair and pulled me back. And then I tried to walk away again and he pushed me and I fell in my face at the floor and I chipped half my tooth off.

[00:16:58]And then somehow somebody must have called the cops who heard us arguing and cop showed up and we both got arrested.

[00:17:04]I got arrested for a warrant. He got arrested for me.

[00:17:06]>> And what about the property you're suing about? During the mix of all of our fight and arguing, that's whenever he decided to break my pool table, my TV, and my iPhone, and a little >> married.

[00:17:18]>> Yeah.

[00:17:19]>> Had you brought that into the marriage?

[00:17:21]>> Absolutely.

[00:17:22]>> All right. And you have estimates for those things?

[00:17:25]>> Yeah, I have a receipt.

[00:17:26]>> And sir, let me hear your side.

[00:17:29]>> My side's a little bit different. I think she's leaving some of the story out. When we was at the bar that night, your honor, she didn't she left out the fact that she went to the bathroom and I happened to go through her phone and see that she had been talking to a guy that I had forbid her to talk to 6 months prior to that. So, when she came out of the bathroom, she's right. I was up at the bar talking to the bartender, having general conversation. I turn around, next thing I know, and she's gone out the bar. So, I walk outside of the bar and look for her and she's done this before where she runs off and it it really it really it's a pet peeve of mine to just run off every time we have a situation and and she just disappears.

[00:18:06]And on top of the alcohol, nonetheless, so when I did find her, I did put her in the car by her hair, I guess you could say. Uh when we got to the house, we had cooled stuff down a little bit and we started talking and we did have sex like she said, but I had already had full intentions after catching her talking to that guy on the phone. It was kind of more or less let me get mine real quick before I end it.

[00:18:30]>> And and I don't think had she not bit me and pushed me off of her, maybe I would have never have assaulted her.

[00:18:38]>> Well, you could have walked away. Uh, no. I I get that.

[00:18:41]>> Your temper and the property. You damaged that.

[00:18:46]>> I'm not going to lie. I did damage the property, but I feel like if she wouldn't have provoked me, I would have never broke her stuff.

[00:18:51]>> All right. I see something about uh DNA test. We have a issue here.

[00:18:55]>> There isn't. You want me to address that?

[00:18:57]>> Yeah, >> I will definitely address that.

[00:18:59]>> Mhm.

[00:19:00]>> About 3 months after we got separated, she comes and tells me she's four months pregnant. I'm not going to believe it's my kid when she's I've caught her talking to guys. I've told her not to text before. We had agreed to deactivate our Facebook, which she had another Facebook under a different name, under her maiden name, so I couldn't find it.

[00:19:18]And I found out about that. There's no there's no telling who the father of this kid is, your honor.

[00:19:22]>> Ma'am, what do you say to this?

[00:19:24]>> That is absolutely his child.

[00:19:26]>> You weren't uh >> easy to say.

[00:19:28]>> You didn't see anybody else during that time frame?

[00:19:30]>> No, not during that time frame. That is his baby.

[00:19:33]>> I guess you can't sleep with somebody on Facebook through the internet, but I know you can sure meet them. And that was that was not too far from her past, your honor.

[00:19:42]>> All right. So, let's go and get the DNA and see >> whose baby this is.

[00:19:50]>> And you go, Doc, had you that one last one?

[00:19:53]>> I tell you what, your honor, if this is my kid, I'm I'm not a dirty guy. If it is my kid, I will I will raise my kid support my child.

[00:20:01]>> Good news.

[00:20:01]>> I have three other kids that I that I see on a regular basis. One lives with me full time.

[00:20:04]>> All right. Good. Is that true?

[00:20:06]>> He's a responsible father. Good.

[00:20:08]>> Plaintiff Savannah Hart is legally married to the defendant, but he petitioned the court for a paternity test because he has doubts about fathering her son.

[00:20:18]>> Joseph Hart, you are 99.9999% the father.

[00:20:25]>> Oh, congratulations.

[00:20:29]>> All right, there you go. and your claim uh for your property is granted and for the assault. That's one of the only times that a husband and wife are successful in a claim over a dispute. It has to be a physical assault because couples argue all the time. That's part of marriage. Arguing, fussing, getting angry, talking crazy, and property disputes. Well, unless you brought it into the marriage, it's joint property.

[00:21:03]In this case, your property, you brought it into the marriage. Put your hand down and get your child support ready. That's what you do.

[00:21:11]Judas for the plaintiff. Have a good day.

[00:21:18]>> Well, I'd like to for the sake of our child at least try to get along as parents. And you never know about the future. Maybe stuff can be reconciled.

[00:21:27]We'll just have to see what the future holds, but definitely as long as he takes responsibility for his child, I'm not going to keep him from him.

[00:21:37]>> Plain Tika Burke says the defendant is her niece, and she's nothing but a spoiled brat. Tamika claims the defendant is always asking family members for help with her bills. But when she does have money, she spends it on partying. Tama is suing because she got the defendant an apartment in her name, but she failed to pay the rent.

[00:25:44]>> Okay, go ahead.

[00:25:45]>> Not this one. So, um what happened was I I signed a lease for her under the impression that she would um take care of all rental fees, any fees that occurred during the time of the lease.

[00:25:54]So, I never lived in the apartment at any time, but under the impression she was going to pay the bills. So, I thought everything was fine until I got a um a bill from a collections agency for $15 stating that Dominique didn't pay the rent and it was some late charges as well. So, I called her. Um she admitly said, "Yes, I did stay in the apartment for the whole month without paying and I stayed two weeks later, still didn't pay because she didn't have the money because she was transitioning back to New York again."

[00:26:23]So she said, "Yes, I'm going to again."

[00:26:26]Yeah.

[00:26:27]>> How many times they put her out of New York?

[00:26:30]>> They didn't put me out. They They didn't really put her out. She come back.

[00:26:33]>> She She left and never came back. So >> So I did ask her about it. She did admitly say that she did it and she would pay me. But as of today, I haven't received any payment from her at all. So that's why I'm here.
