2007 The Joey Dudley parking saga

[Scuttlebutt6]

I was driver when Joey got busted. He was taking an unspecified amount of Cash out of the Parking Lot tills everyday. No telling how much money he got!

We got a raise after he got fired....lol

It really was the best job because you had the highest priority of scheduling classes.

Embezzlement I believe. I drove a bus for 4 years, which was my best job ever btw. We were some of the lowest paid student drivers in the country at 6.25/hr. We asked for raises for the longest time. When he got busted we all knew why we didn’t get them lol.

It wasn't Parking & Transit funds he was stealing. It was the parking lot funds, all cash, that were going into the general fund. He used to give me money to go across the street at the Post Office and make money orders for him. I never thought different. The real dirty part of the whole affair is how many guys in Martin Hall were also in on it. Because they only proved $50,000 of it, and that was not even a calendar year. It went on for several years. Not all of that went to Dudley. After the replacement to Dudley got caught for the same thing, and committed suicide, Dean Pratt retired the next day.

I was shocked when the replacement got caught for the same thing. He seemed like a standup guy!

Once that happened, I knew the order to steal came from Martin Hall. No way an organization goes through that kind of black eye, and allows it to happen again exactly as it did before. Can't blame the guy for not wanting to be the fall guy, basically ruins your life.

But is it really ruined? I never heard from Joey again, but from what i remember he got a slap on the wrist compared to the penalties he could have gotten, and then he disappeared from Lafayette.

There must have been even more going on the second time around.

At his age...restarting his life had to take some years off. I'm 36...and I wouldn't want to have to live through that. He was closer to 50.

as a former worker for Mr. Dudley, it wasnt the parking ticket money he was stealing, it was from the paylots were there was lots of money coming in daily. He was always a very nice guy, very religious, never thought he would have done such a thing, what is really dumb is that it gives all the illegal parkers just one more reason to make things worse. Anyways go cajun baseball, cmon football season, and may everyone who parks illegally get herpes.

What about basketball?

I worked for Lucien back in the day, a very good man. When I first started driving none of the buses had A/C. When I left only one had A/C. It was the best job in college.
