KELLY G ROGERS ATTEMPTS TO FLEE TO MEXICO

It's now become clear why Kelly G Rogers was jailed for nine days in November. He was trying to FLEE to MEXICO! A business trip?

According to the States Response to Defendants Motion to Release Defendant and set Reasonable Bond;

Section VI: "Further, the State has learned that the surety who was previously discharged by the Court (Act Now Bail Bonds) was previously requested by the defendant to permit him to obtain an expedited passport to travel to Mexico, presumably on business. Were defendant allowed to do so, he would be beyond the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court and beyond the ability of the surety to surrender the defendant for violation of his surety agreement with the bonding company".

Well, thank God someone found out about this little "Business Trip"!

So once Act Now Bail Bonds was granted the discharge, Rogers had to be jailed until he posted a new bond. Possibly being short of cash, Mitchell R. Nolte (Attorney for the Scammer) filed a Motion to lower the bond from the current $50,000 per felony to $10,000. It was denied.

In the State's response, Dale R. Barron, Special Assistant Criminal District Attorney for Collin Count,  reminded the Court;

"The defendant is charged with seven first degree felony offenses, including the charge from 2009, which all carry a penalty range of from 5 to 99 years or life confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Institutional division, and as such should require a significant and sufficient bond to insure the appearance of the defendant at trial which is scheduled for February 17, 2013, in this Honorable Court. The State believes that the current bonds set for the six causes of action at issue in this matter are reasonable and necessary due to the severity of the charges the defendant is charged with".

The Court ordered to keep the bond at $50,0000 per occurrence, required the defendant to surrender any US Passport but denied the State request that Rogers be fitted with a GPS tracking devise.

Additionally, the court ordered Tom Bensen d/b/a Act Now Bail Bonds to refund the full amount of fees paid for the execution of the bond by the Defendant as follows;

1. $20,000 to Fred Sewell (Defendant's Father-in-Law).
2. $  4,025 to Carrie Sewell Rogers (Defendant's wife).
3. Any other fees personally paid by the defendant ($5,975).

Fred Sewell is a fine man and sits on the Board of Directors of Comstock. Back in 2004-2006, Kelly Rogers was raising money for his Oil and Gas shell games with Rick Weyand, and would OFTEN dropped Mr. Sewell's name as an investor in his deals. He was quick to point out that he wasn't supposed to disclose that information but it sounded good, making the appeal of the opportunity seem that much better to the investors.

Each variation of the Oil and Gas investments would ultimately go bankrupt and those investors who believed his line of B.S. lost their total investment. Par for the course.

When Rogers was arrested on May 4th, 2012, his neighbor was M. Jay Allison, CEO of Comstock. Five days later, Comstock announced the appointment of Fredrick Sewell to the board.

How embarrassing.

Kelly G Rogers an Embarressment to Fred Sewell (Father-in-law)

Two week ago tomorrow, four squad cars pulled up to Kelly G Rogers' rented home to serve him with five new indictments. He was arrested, processed, jailed and released. 

As storm clouds gathered outside their Frisco home, the rumor mill was abuzz with stories about how the "Wife", Carrie Sewell Rogers, had pitched a fit as the arrest went down. 

Why? Was this arrest a surprise her? Is she in total denial about her husband?

Or was it just an embarrassment to her father, Fred Sewell, who by all accounts is an outstanding man. Think about this bit of irony. 

Since the Bank foreclosed on the Kelly G Rogers home at 8 Riva Ridge, the Rogers were forced to find a rental. Naturally, they chose to locate within the same neighborhood. It's a snapshot to how they think; this neighborhood contains big homes, big money people and big status for those who live there.

If you knew the Rogers, you know exactly what they're all about--STATUS.

So get this;

• M. Jay Allison, CEO of Comstock, is the neighbor to Kelly G Rogers and Carrie rental home.
• Carrie Rogers father is Fred Sewell, a respected and accomplished oil and gas consultant. 
• On May 9th, five days after Rogers' arrest, Comstock issued this press release;

"Comstock also announced that Frederic D. Sewell was elected to the Board of Directors at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders which was held yesterday.  Mr. Sewell has over 50 years of experience as a petroleum engineer and is best known as the co-founder and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc., a worldwide oil and gas consulting firm until his retirement in 2008.

"We congratulate Mark, Gary and Blaine on their promotions and welcome Russell to our executive management team", commented M. Jay Allison, Comstock's Chief Executive Officer.  "We are also excited to have Fred Sewell, an icon of our industry, join our board of directors."

By the way Jay, your new board members' son-in-law was just busted for oil and gas fraud!

With more charges possibly looming in the future against Kelly G Rogers, neighbors in this quiet Frisco subdivision might want to run background checks before renting anymore homes.

You never know who might show up next door.
