Witch Trial in South Carolina--2007 Wiccan Harassed and Falsely Arrested

Witch Trials Still Alive In South Carolina!



Please pass around to anyone you think might listen.
Thanks. We are unable to go home at the moment because it isn't safe
for us there. They are always watching what we are doing and we are
afraid of more Police retribution so are staying at my Mother in-
law's house, but this isn't home.....so I am trying to get on the
computer whenever possible so bear with me....My life is turned
inside out right now.
Witch Trials Continue In South Carolina!
My name is Rhonda Gruber AKA Wicked Lil Witch and I am a Proud Witch.
I am currently being persecuted as a Witch by a Lt. Kevin Duke of the
Horry County Police Dept. My life and the lives of my family and
friends are being threatened and destroyed by this man with the
backing of countless other officials. I was arrested Monday Sept
10th '07 by Lt Duke for Breach of Peace, Child Endangerment/ Neglect
and 1st degree Harrassement.
This all began around the end of May '07 from many false police
reports from a neighboring family, The Luisettis, who also seemed to
think I deserved to be arrested for my religious beliefs. They stated
such in their police reports. When this began to become a pattern of
filing false reports, we began seeking Police protection FROM them.
We were told numerous times that we had no reason to receive their
protection, just to ignore them. Yet they continued to file their
reports on us. We were told the only we could do is file a Civil
Suit. This wouldn't fix the problem for quite awhile if ever.The
Police Dept on numerous occasions, even refused to file any reports
for us. We had at one point searched out help from Magistrates in the
area. One told us that filing these reports was most definitely
something the Police could do something about and that they should
but he was fairly certain that they wouldn't. He went on a 10 min
rant about it to us. He even took the time to gives us copies of the
laws on filing false reports, which we took to this Lt Duke, who
after realizing we weren't going to leave his office too easily, Then
wrote us report stating that the report from the Luisettis was
investigated and the allegations were unfounded and seemed to be
stemming from harrassement from the neighbors.
Now Monday, my 16 yr old son was targeted for their harrassment . In
the morning the Luisetti's daughter had a young man assualt him at
the bus stop. We filed a report that morning. That afternoon another
allegation from their daughter that he beat her up Friday on school
property which led to his suspension since the school wouldn't
investigate it other than her statement and her 2 friend's
statements. She would have been getting on the bus at the time while
he was on the other side of the building getting a ride from one of
his friends. Then as we were sitting in my garage workshop working on
getting the suspension investigated by the school board, waiting to
see if the death threat my son received was going to take place. The
threat came from the Luisetti's daughter getting a young man
to "kill" my son due to the beating she received from him. He was
supposed to be coming to our house after school. We were then
visited by an irrational Lt. Duke as he whipped into our driveway
screaming that Spencer was reported to be brandishing and pointing an
assault rifle at the Luisettis. Which isn't even close to what he was
doing. Duke then stated that is is tired of all this and someone is
going to jail. He didn't care to hear anything we had to to say about
our side. Anytime I was trying to say something I was told to shut up
or be arrested. He was VERY aggressive and yelling. He seemed to
trying to provoke an altercation. I freely admit I was upset and a
little loud but I was trying to defend my son. I was never violent or
out of control. I was just pissed and trying to make some sense out
of the situation. When I was told to shut up I did which seemed to
further anger Duke. I was only arrested after they put the cuffs on
my son. I then told my Husband to find a f...ing attorney and quick.
This was when they arrested me.
I was never read my Miranda Rights to this day but the questions they
asked me were used in my arrest. Doesn't seem legal to me...
My charges of Child Endangerment were due to the fact that we have
several legal weapons around a minor. I must inform you my son is an
ROTC member with Marine Boot Camp training in weapons, can
disassemble/ reassemble an M16 on the field. He was also on the Rifle
Team last year and is Athletics Team Commander. He also knew our
weapons, from target shooting and cleaning. He even pointed out to
the Police Weapons Expert how to release the clip and open the bolt
chamber as they couldn't. He is very safe and well versed in weapons.
I must point point that is legally old enough to have a hunting
license. He is also looking to join the National Guard on his 17th B-
Day, Oct 3rd this yr. Upon his 18th B-Day he was planning a Military
career. We are proud of him and is a really good person. We are very
upset with all the things being alleged about him.
To summarize:
We are being persecuted because of my spiritual choices, not being
Christian. Lt. Duke has a web page stating his religious beliefs and
infertility and adoption problems which leads us to the belief that
he can no longer separate his personal feelings from his ability to
do his job in an objective manner. He seems to have appointed himself
as a personal victim's advocate for allegedly neglected and abused
children. The fact that I am a practicing witch is being noted in
complaints and warrants against me and my family. It has even been
voiced in court along with allegations stating I have cast spells on
2 cops and the luisetti family by the solicitor during proceedings.
My familiar pyewacket seems to have been mishandled during the search
of our home. She was running and flinching from us the day after. I
am very hurt by this. Though this can't be proven, I know my animal
and this is not her normal behavior.
We have always tried to help others and be good people, so this is
very hard for us to deal with. I am lucky to have a very strong
supportive circle of friends and family or we would still be in jail.
My in-laws had to take the majority of their retirement fund for some
20 thousand dollars to hire a powerful law firm to help us. Though I
will never be ashamed of being a witch, I am so very sorry for all
the trouble and loss of money it has cost them to stand up for us.
The reason for this letter is that we need all the help we can find
to fight this. Whether it is positive protective energy, advice, or
donations to help pay for this. I will not rest until I have made a
difference for all that believe in freedom of religion. I don't want
this to just disappear, I want to make a stand for all free thinkers
against persecution. We all know the squeaky wheel gets the oil.
For all that believe in freedom of choice, please stand behind me or
even beside me in court while I fight. I am not a quitter and I have
a loud voice. I always stand up for what I believe in, all I ask is
to not have to stand alone in this. It's time to fight for what we
all believe in, not just lie down and take it. I have enclosed the
papers that are in my possession to prove my claims. I will include
more as they come into my possession. I am not easily scared although
they are trying to intimidate us. Threatening phone calls have been
made to family and friends even now. In supporting us, you are also
supporting yourselves.
We are looking to get this story out to as many places as possible.
The more people who are aware the harder it will be for them to get
aware with it!
We NEED your help!!!
Blessed be.

Please look into this matter for your self. This woman Rhonda Gruber AKA Wicked Lil Witch has not been forth coming with all the facts. I believe there are real reasons for this arrest and she is using her religion to get sympathy, and in the process making harder for people who are being harassed & persecuted to find real help. A quick search on line using her name will turn up her a myriad of related info and original copies of the search warrant.

While there is some question as to the use of the term "practicing Witch" in the warrant -her behavior and personal dealings lead a huge part in her eventual arrest.

These facts you keep finding on the internet are from other people who haven't bothered themselves to email or call as there are SEVERAL documents with the word "Witch" thrown in there.
So by all means call and question but don't just put me down due to ignorance.
The search warrant is a complete Farce of legal BS ever written.
My son was CLEAN of ALL illegal substances.
They lied...
They found NO DRUGS in my home...
They found NO CHILD PORN....
The only things they did take were the computers we needed to make a living, leaving 4 other computers.....strange?
They searched my home on Sept 12th but waited until Oct. 12th to file a charge on me for having illegal prescription meds. (Zoloft) Which they had a copy of my prescription in their possession before they issued the charge....seem a little strange to anyone else?
Any questions I would be happy to answer if you email or call us.

I am outraged reading all of the bullshit lies.. on the net. From
people that don’t even know her, or what REALLY happened. Take a
minute, step back and ask yourself “Who the hell am I” to take he said
she said as fact? Read the following:

In regards to what people are posting about Spencer testing positive
for Meth..

Lt. Duke told a bold faced lie. One. Duke was not entitled to even see
the test, it was the test of a minor, and he does not have the right
to see such a test.As a cop he has no right to see the results of a
test of a minor. Two, the son tested negative for all illegal drugs,
including marijuana. Three it was also stated that Rhonda herself was
a member of the Pagans Motorcycle Gang, which would help elude to the
fact that she’s a drug dealer, when it turns out that she was only a
local chapter leader of Pagansnightout, a monthly meetup group for the
RELIGION not the MOTORCYCLE GANG. Why was it mentioned in three
different legal reasonings for why they were doing the things they
were doing was because she was a witch? Currently as of now to date,
Horry County has no evidence to substantiate their claims, they are
between a rock and a hard place because they have to prove to
substantiate their charges. Without evidence they tried to retain her
son, because they saw that as their only “Trump” card to getting her.
It boils down to they want her, and have no evidence, but yet arrested
every member of the family. The family has proof of all the claims,
but yet the family receives minimal support from anyone anywhere. If
they were guilty why would they continue to fight this? Wouldn’t they
just disappear instead of continuing to fight? All of the bad press
that the Grubers have been getting is because people blindly go along
with what the search warrant says. When she posted the search warrant
she didnt think others would turn on her, with the search warrant
being ridiculous, that is the whole reason for her posting the search
warrant. The cop LIED! Nothing in that is true EXCEPT that she is a
witch. Those that think she isn’t still fighting, she hired and still
retains her own attorney, her son has his own attorney that is working
pro bono because he believes in his own words “150% in Spencer’s
innocence.” And his case is currently in appeal, because he maintains
his innocence, and he’s had to be moved in with Rhonda’s out of state
family to escape Horry County’s clutches, which was a hard decision
for her to do, but it was the only thing she could do to keep her son
safe, and herself. I’ve been Rhonda’s best friend for many years now,
and I am disgusted with the lack of pagan support on her behalf all
because of what a cop wrote. A Christian cop at that. She is not
“hiding” behind the pentacle, she’s defending her right to her
pentacle. Even despite all of this shit, if and when she ever is
allowed a civil suit, a chunk of the money is going into a fund for
pagans like herself that cannot get any support from anyone or any
organization. We’ll be damned if this happens to yet another pagan. Oh
and by the way.. this who ordeal with Ms. Stacey. Who the hell are you
out in bumble fuck you don’t know Rhonda, you weren’t there for the
case and obviously you have no evidence to back even your claims. The
only thing she has is a document that was illegally obtained. If and
when it will be proven, she’ll be in her own legal battle. I believe
the term is liable. Just in case anyone thinks that this is Rhonda, I
am not Rhonda. I have attempted on many occasions to defend Rhonda,
since the only thing on the internet is this game of “telephone”
nobody would even let me speak the truth to tell them what really
happened. But just like gossip anywhere else, people like to start
shit, and then everyone jumps on the bandwagon. You know.. as a friend
of the family and all of the friends that actually do know Rhonda and
the family, her real friends are STILL HERE, and are still a strong
support system for her. Unlike the rest of you, you don’t know these
people, nor were you there. So how can you be so sure you really
really know.. what happened? You read what the cop says and you
believe the cop? What if this was you? How would you feel if the
situation was reversed and it was you, and you made a cry out for help
to fellow pagans, and find out there is nothing there. People would
rather believe the worst? How can you criticize another human being
based on what someone told you when you have no fact. The truth is the
only one with any facts at all, and documents and proof is Rhonda. I
am one of the few that have stood by her side, and listen to her cry,
and offer her all of the support I can. You people are sick. She has
spent HOURS on the phone with me crying because of the damage this has
done to her, her family, her son, her real friends. This has even
damaged me. Steve’s father has failing health and wonders where his
son is. Steve was CLOSE to family. Try to explain all this he said she
said junk to him. Are you going to tell him that you just jumped to
conclusions, too lazy to find out what’s truth? Or do you want the
majority vote. It seems to me.. from this experience, that this so
called “pagan community” is nothing more than a bunch of destructive
kids, playing dress up. If you wanted to defend your religion, you
would stick with the facts. If you don’t have the facts, stay the hell
out of it.
