Rudy Warnock tells his side – said Mary Hawkins Butler called him late night while on “stake outs”

By: Magnolia Tribune - April 24, 2015

WARNOCK & ASSOCIATES IS A CIVIL ENGINEERING FIRM THAT PROVIDES ENGINEERING SERVICES THROUGHOUT MISSISSIPPI. WARNOCK & ASSOCIATES SPECIALIZES IN ROADWAY DESIGN, BRIDGE DESIGN, WATER AND SEWER DISTRIBUITION SYSTEMS, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING, SURVEYING, SITE DEVELOPMENT, AND GENERAL CIVIL ENGINEERING.

WARNOCK & ASSOCIATES WAS FOUNDED 14 YEARS AGO BY RUDY M. WARNOCK JR., P.E. MR WARNOCK SERVED 8 YEARS IN THE ARMY AND PUT HIMSELF THROUGH ENGINEERING SCHOOL AT MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY. MR. WARNOCK KNEW THAT WITH HIS EDUCATION AND TRAINING HE WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE QUALITY ENGINEERING SERVICES, AND HOPED THAT ONE DAY HE COULD START HIS OWN CIVIL ENGINEERING FIRM.

WHEN MR. WARNOCK GRADUATED FROM MSU AND BEGAN HIS ENGINEERING CARREER HE ACTUALLY WORKED UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE CITY ENGINEER FOR THE “CITY OF MADISON”. FOR MANY YEARS MR. WARNOCK PROVIDED ENGINEERING SERVICES TO THE CITY OF MADISON, WHILE WORKING FOR THE CITY ENGINEER. IN THE YEAR 2000 MARY HAWKIN OFFERED MR. WARNOCK THE JOB OF ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR WITH THE INTENTION OF MR. WARNOCK BECOME THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. MR. WARNOCK TURNED THE JOB DOWN, AND THAT DIDN’T SIT WELL WITH THE MAYOR. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MR. WARNOCK TOLD THE MAYOR NO! A WORD THAT MR. WARNOCK HAS USED WITH HER MANY TIMES. LIKE THE “MANY” TIMES SHE ASKED MR. WARNOCK TO RECORD CONVERSATIONS WITH HER ENEMIES SO THAT SHE COULD, “DESTROY” THEM. MR. WARNOCK TOLD MARY, “ I AM AN ENGINEER AND I’M GOING TO DO ENGINEERING WORK, I’LL LEAVE THE INVESTIGATING AND RECORDING OF CONVERSATIONS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT”. THE MAYOR EVEN CALLED MR WARNOCK MANY TIMES LATE AT NIGHT TELLING HIM, “I’M IN THE BUSHES OUTSIDE OF XXXXXX HOUSE AND I’M ON A STAKE OUT WITH MY SECRETARY. YOU WANT TO JOIN US?” YES THIS REALLY HAPPENED AND MANY OTHER CRAZY THINGS THAT I’M NOT COMFORTABLE RELEASING AT THIS POINT. (emphasis added)

IN THE SUMMER OF 2014 MR. WARNOCK AND MARY MET TO DISCUSS DEVELOPING A BETTER WORKING RELATIONSHIP, HOWEVER SHE WAS MORE INTERESTED IN THE LOCATION OF THE NEW AIRPORT. SHE DEMANDED TO KNOW THE LOCATION. MR. WARNOCK TOLD MARY THAT THE AIRPORT PROJECT WAS AN EXECUTIVE SESSION MATTER AND THAT HE WAS PROFESSIONAL BOUND TO NOT DIVULGE INFORMATION BETWEEN HIM AND HIS CLIENT. HE SAID NO AGAIN! SHE INFORMED MR. WARNOCK THAT SHE HAD, “OTHER WAYS” OF GETTING WHAT SHE WANTS. (THERE IS MUCH MORE TO THIS STORY) WHY WOULD SHE WANT TO KNOW THE LOCATION SO DESPERATELY? I’M SURE YOU CAN FIGURE THIS OUT. THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. ALL UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MARY HAWKINS BUTLER. SHE IS MAYOR OF MADISON, AND THAT’S NOT ENOUGH FOR HER. SHE WANTS TO BE MAYOR OF MADISON COUNTY.

SINCE STARTING WARNOCK & ASSOCIATES IN 2001 MR. WARNOCK HAS BEEN PUBLICLY ATTACKED TIME AND TIME AGAIN BY MAYOR MARY HAWKINS BUTLER. MARY HAWKINS HAS USED HER POSITION AS MAYOR TO HURT WANROCK & ASSOCIATES AND THE PROFESSIONALS THAT WORK AT WARNOCK & ASSOCIATES. HER COMMENTS ARE COMPLETELY UNFOUNDED AND ARE SLANDEROUS. MR. WARNOCK NOR ANY OF HIS EMPLOYEES HAVE ENGAGED IN ANYTHING THAT COULD REMOTELY BE CONSIDERED ILLEGAL. MR. WARNOCKS DIFFERNECES WITH MARY HAWKINS BUTLER HAVE LITTLE TO DO WITH ENGINEERING SERVICES AND MORE TO DO WITH HER PERSUIT OF “POWER”. POWER THAT RESTS WITH THE MADISON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVIORS AND OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT W&A HAPPENS TO SERVE. FOR THOSE THAT KNOW MARY YOU KNOW THAT AS LONG AS YOU DO WHAT SHE TELLS YOU TO DO THEN YOU WILL BE IN HER GOOD GRACES, BUT THE MINUTE YOU DECIDE TO FORMULATE YOUR OWN OPINION AND CHALLENGER HER DECISSIONS THEN YOU QUICKLY BECOME THE “DEVIL”. YOU ALSO KNOW THAT ONCE YOU ARE CAST OUT OF “HER KINGDOM” THEN SHE WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HURT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. SHE ACTUALLY CALLED MR. WARNOCK AND TOLD HIM THAT SHE WOULD, “RUN YOU AND YOUR FAMILY OUT OF MADISON COUNTY”.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WHILE MR WARNOCK WAS EATING LUNCH IN CANTON A MAN BY THE NAME OF CHUCK SHELBY APPROACHED MR. WARNOCK AND SAID, “I’M GOING TO DESTROY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY”. LATER THAT DAY THE MAN WAS ARRESTED. IRONICALLY A CALL WAS MADE FROM MADISON CITY HALL TO THE SHERIFFS DEPARMTMENT ASKING IF THEY WOULD BE INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER. I WONDER WHY CITY HALL WOULD BE CONCERNED? A FEW WEEKS LATER MR. WARNOCK DISCOVERED THAT MADISON CITY “JUDGE” DALE DANKS WAS REPRESENTING MR. CHUCK SHELBY. THIS CASE WILL BE HEARD IN JUSTICE COURT ON APRIL 29TH AT 9:00am.

IN THE PAST W&A HAS SIMPLY IGNORED HER COMMENTS, BUT THAT WILL NOT BE THE CASE FROM THIS DAY FORWARD. W&A IS HIRING A LAWYER AND WILL SEEK JUSTICE FOR THE BASELESS AQUSATIONS AND COMMENTS MADE BY MARY HAWKINS BUTLER.
