According to Tulare County deputy, Scott O'Neill, he and Larry Barney influenced Bill & Yolanda Chambers, Karen Hulce, and the Bolands to complain about Coral Kerr who had been a responsible, very private, unintrusive property owner and resident for six years before Larry Barney moved into this sparsely populated area of the forest and attempted to get rid of Ms. Kerr in any way he possibly could. The harrassment was consistent but on June 16, 2009 Mr. Barney had Tulare County come, unnanounced, to Ms. Kerr's address , force their way into private property beyond locked gates, without warrants and impound Ms. Kerr's family pets. Though no signs of mental instability had ever been exhibited Ms. Kerr, a professional illustrator and designer in the television and film industry was physically shoved into an ambulance and taken, without explanation, to a hospital over an hour away and evaluated by a county psychologist who found her to be stable, articulate, and though she had just witnessed her dear, cherished animals brutalized and traumatized by agressive county animal control officer, Dan Bailey, the doctor reported that she was composed and communicative. Ms. Kerr was left with no way to return to her property in the mountains and she had been kept from bringing her wallet, cell phone, or any means by which she would manage to find transportation. This was an egregious misuse of power, based on absolutely no valid reason for the invasion and Ms. Kerr's reputation was damaged beyond repair. As an illustrator of children's books her career suffered the results of character defamation repeatedly indulged in by Larry Barney, his wife Sylvia , and Scott O'Neill.
Ms. Kerr continued to experience ongoing abuses perpetrated by Mr. Barney and a court process ensued. The complaint had been judgements of the condition of Ms. kerr's property that she had been attempting to have improved, but being that the necessary labor was unavailable the work had been delayed. Tulare County Animal Control killed three of her dogs and ten cats including three of her indoor purebred Persian cats, over ten years old, who had been with her all of their lives. Being that her surviving animals had been released to a veterinarian who supported Ms. Kerr's position as an animal rescue person who'd been judged too harshly and whose rights had been blatantly violated the misdemeanor charges were resolved in court June 29, 2010 when Ms. Kerr was pressured into accepting a "Public Nuisance" plea. Charges were dropped yet no one was held accountable for the unnecessary killing of those sweet, trusting dogs and cats Ms. Kerr had rescued, loved and protected, ...each with a special story ...a personal history of their own.
