Shasta County, California went after Eddis “the Menace” Davenport in Shasta County Superior Court Case No. 007642 as a deadbeat dad. Demonstrating the pathetic state of child support collection departments in California I never got a response from Shasta County when I put them on notice that:
(a) Eddis Davenport has apparently adopted the alias Ellen Davenport with which he uses SSN 618-xxxxxxx (and his own date of birth) to evade his child support obligations and for other purposes of fraud;
(b) Eddis Davenport is operating E. Davenport Food Group LLC (California LLC #201313010026) at 7601 S Western Ave Los Angeles CA 90047;
(c) Eddis Davenport appears to be a thrice convicted felon: his felony and/or moral turpitude convictions include forgery in the State of Kansas (Johnson County, Case No. K59918) and Los Angeles Superior Court (Case Nos. YA032518; SA016309); [I subsequently found that he also did federal time for fraud, see the last two pages of his criminal records, below]
(d) Eddis Davenport is currently living at xxxxxxxxxx LOS ANGELES CA 90056;
(e) Eddis Davenport is, according to my clients, receiving public assistance of various types including but not limited to SNAP benefits; he is believed to be receiving public assistance through his own name and possibly other names at xxxxxxxxxxxx, LOS ANGELES, CA 90008.
On top of all that, without the knowledge of the property owner where he was operating an ice cream parlor, Eddis apparently took out a fire insurance policy with Builders & Tradesmen Insurance in the property owners name. Then the building conveniently had a fire and only then did the insurance company bother to let the supposed policy owner know that she purportedly had the policy and that supposedly, an attorney she’d never heard of — Albert D. Mastroianni — was representing her on a claim!
Now just in case you think that any of this is a coincidence consider Eddis’s criminal record (and while we’ve made complaints to the LAPD, LAFD, State Bar, and Dept of Insurance, the only agency that we know to have promptly followed up is the Dept of Insurance):
