But in a matter of  seconds it hit me, William  Shatner the famous actor,  was on the line.  After a few moments of  exchanging pleasantries we  cut to the chase. He was  inquiring if I would be interested  in producing a commission  piece for him and  his family to enjoy. His  request, a hand carved  American Bred Saddle  horse, loosely based on a  horse he once owned. Of  course this was a project I  could not refuse.  I studied the breed from  reference books and personal  pictures Mr. Shatner provided  of his own beloved  horse.

I then produced several  renderings each depicting  the distinct gate of the  American Bred.  Soon I received another  call. “Ken this is Bill,” and  this time there was no mistaking  the voice on the other  end. When our conversation  ended I had a pretty good  idea of the feeling this  horse, named Boston Legal  after his television show,  would portray.  I went to work on the full  scale drawing.

It included  every detail, strong musculature,  protruding veins, a  proud head; in essence the  pose Mr. Shatner had specifically  chosen. Before I knew  it I was rolling up the final  drawing, placing it in a six  foot long container and  shipping it to California.  It didn’t take long before I  received another call. This  time he joked, “Ken this is  Bill, Bill Shatner...I know  you know who I am.” I had  to chuckle out loud at my  earlier bewilderment.  “Your drawing is wonderful.  It’s just what we talked  about. I want it.”  With his final approval I  got started. I selected the  wood that would be used for  this one of a kind animal. I  chose 4” by 16” basswood  planks for the carve ability  needed for such a large animal.

I finished the building  and carving portion by May.  With this realistic rendition I  believe the beauty is in the  details. I added extra definition  to the muscles, leg position  and eyes. The eyes,  unlike that of a carousel  horse, had to show a life  like feeling so I chose to  carve and paint them by  hand.

I completed sanding  and painting in July.  When I personally delivered  the horse I had the  pleasure of meeting Bill and  Elizabeth Shatner. The  Shatners were very gracious  and I was treated to a viewing  of their extensive art  collection.  I am very pleased to say  the Shatners are very happy  with their hand carved  American Bred Saddle  horse. Boston Legal is a  piece I am proud to introduce  to this iconic family.

Jodi and Brian  attempted to get Glen out of  the house. During the struggle  Brian obtained a hatchet  to protect himself from  Glen. Glen eventually left  the residence. Glen was  arrested a short distance  away and transported to the  Coos County Jail.  After arriving at the jail,  Mr. Sears was combative  and resisted efforts to get  him onto the Booking area.  Jail Deputies had to assist  the Patrol Deputy in controlling  Mr. Sears. Eventually  they were able to get Glen  to booking and safely  secured. Mr. Sears was  lodged on the charges of  Harassment Domestic and  Resist Arrest.

The  caller indicated that a person  was “down” at the residence  under suspicious circumstances.  Medical personnel  and deputies from  the Sheriff’s Office responded.  Upon arrival, the deputies  and medical personnel  found an occupant of that  residence, Linda Sue Foley,  59, to be deceased. The initial  investigation indicates  that Ms. Foley died as a  result of homicidal violence.

The Coos County Major  Incident Team was activated  and members of the Coos  County Sheriff’s Office, the  Coos Bay Police  Department, the North Bend  Police Department, the  Oregon State Police (Coos  Bay and Roseburg Offices),  the Coquille Police  Department, the Coquille  Tribal Police, the Powers  Police Department, SCINT,  the Medical Examiner’s  Office and the District  Attorney’s Office responded.  The Coos County  Sheriff’s Office is the lead  agency in this case.

After further investigation,  at approximately 10  p.m., officers arrested  another occupant of the residence,  18 year-old Henry  Levi Cozad on the charge of  Murder. He was lodged at  the Coos County Jail.  It is reported that Cozad  suffers from severe mental  disabilities and has been  described as severely autistic.  How this will impact the  prosecution of this case is  not known at this time, but  certainly will be an issue  that will have to be  addressed.  The arraignment of Henry  Levi Cozad has been scheduled  for 1 p.m. on Monday,  March 16, 2009. The  arraignment will be in the  courtroom of Judge Martin  Stone.

An autopsy was completed  on the body of Ms. Foley  late Saturday afternoon. The  autopsy revealed that Ms.  Foley died of internal bleeding  as a result of severe  blunt force trauma to the  head, neck, chest and  abdomen. It is not believed  that any type of weapon was  used. The trauma is consistent  with having been forcefully  struck with a hand.

Anyone with information  regarding this matter is  encouraged to contact the  Coos County Sheriff’s  Office.  R. Paul Frasier
