Foreclosures Erupt Into a Court Battle Between Mother and Son
In a county court a son made testimony against his mother alleging that she stalked his children. The feud was over a restaurant enterprise and non-payment of foreclosure dues.
Carey Thul residing in Mendota Heights used the proceeds from the sale of a West St. Paul house of his mother to set up two ventures in downtown Minneapolis. He spoke up in court saying that not only did his mother harass his children but used racist language. She also had expressed the wish that her son should be shot in the head. Debra Thul is said to have left a phone message saying, “I hope someone puts a bullet in your head, you n——-, and you're going to die when you fight in the cage.”
Debra has denied the charges in various interviews. Hearing her son testify she broke into tears. Judge Timothy McManus ordered a short recess when she left the courtroom sobbing.
Debra had brought legal charges against her son and David Koch who ran the restaurant her son had invested in. She alleged that the duo entered into an inked contract with her to be responsible for her mortgage after she sold her house to her son in 2003. But since then he has stopped paying and left her to battle foreclosure on her own.
Carey Thul claimed that he had added $30,000 of his own to the $93,000 he got from the equity of the house to invest in two projects initiated by Koch in the downtown entertainment locality of Minneapolis – the Bellanotte Restarurant and Escape Ultra Lounge. Both the joints have since then shut down.
While testifying Koch said he did not know anything about the arrangements made between mother and son. But he had a feeling that the mother had of her will had happily gifted her son the funds nursing hopes of mending a broken relationship. He also claimed that his signature had been forged on a written document wherein he is supposed to have pledged to pay the mortgage dues from the proceeds of the two joints. All that he had done was to arrange a meeting and sign as a witness. He was also responsible for raising a fund-raising campaign to help Debra in 2006 when she developed breast cancer.
Carey Thul admitted that he could not make payments on the house since the last two years when the behaviour of his mother worsened. He said, “Her antics were way too crazy. She would show up when my kids were playing alone. She would stalk them. She would stalk us. It's been a circus act.”
