>> I did not pay because --
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
I didn't ask you a "because."
You didn't pay.
>> No, I didn't -- Yes, I did.
Technically, yes, I did.
I paid for the food for that
trip.
She paid for the gas and hotel
that trip, and after the expo,
we were supposed to divide the
money in half because she was my
business partner, which is what
she fails to tell you.
>> Judge Judy: She was your
business partner how?
>> We split everything half and
half, and as of April, when her
and I spoke, we agreed, "Look,
I'm having issues getting the
loans."
She made it very clear -- "I'm
getting my Social Security soon.
I'll loan you the money if you
make me your partner, and I want
50%."
I said okay to that, not a
problem, which is why we agreed
to go to the expo.
The week we went to the expo,
she got her money, and
everything was set from there.
She bought a new car, and we
took it from there.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, so you've
made a little money at the expo.
>> We made $214, I believe.
>> Judge Judy: Each?
>> Total.
>> Judge Judy: And did you share
that between the two of you?
>> Yes, we did.
When everything happened at the
end of the expo and Ms. Crumb
admitted that she was the one
who nasty, attacked my nephew,
attacked me, attacked my uncle,
she told me, for lack of better
words, to get my crap and get
the hell out of her face, and
which I did.
At the end of the expo, I kept
the credit-card sales because
there was a little bit more to
cover the sales tax, and she
took the cash that was in the
box.
>> Judge Judy: What about her
nephew?
>> That was for her to take care
of him.
>> Judge Judy: Was he working
there also?
>> No, he was --
>> Judge Judy: What was he
doing?
>> Walking around, doing
whatever him and his -- She
actually had him and his friend
come, and they walked around
doing nothing, other than -- I
guess after we left, apparently
they helped her clean up her
stuff.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Now, Ms. Crumb, now I got it.
So, you drove your car?
>> I drove my car --
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
You drove your car.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Your disability
doesn't impair your driving.
>> At times, it does.
>> Judge Judy: But it didn't
impair your driving to go from
one state to another to the
expo.
>> I did not take any of my
medication in order to make the
drive.
>> Judge Judy: All right.
So, now you have three minutes
to tell me what you're suing him
for.
>> I never agreed to be his
business partner.
>> Judge Judy: No, I didn't ask
you what you didn't agree to.
I asked you what you're suing
him for.
>> For the travel down, for the
fish that I had packed into
coolers for the trip down that
he removed from the coolers and
put into a tank in the back of
his vehicle, which ultimately
killed many of the fish.
>> Judge Judy: You went in two
cars?
>> We had three vehicles,
Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: You had three
cars.
>> My nephew drove my Chevy HHR
down full of fish, three
terrariums with frogs in it that
belonged to another local
business.
>> Judge Judy: [ Chuckles ]
You're getting yourself into
such trouble, Ms. Crumb.
You have no idea how much
trouble you're getting yourself
into.
>> I would also like to point
out, Your Honor, that Mr. Doss
never opened his store.
He's running it illegally out of
his home while collecting
welfare.
When we went to the store just
prior to leaving Buffalo that
night, I specifically asked him
if he had his gas money.
He told me he did.
He did not tell me that he did
not have any gas money until
about four hours into the trip.
>> Judge Judy: Who paid for the
food?
>> I --
>> Judge Judy: [ Imitates
stammering ]
>> I apologize.
>> Judge Judy: Who paid for the
food?
>> I had my own separate car in
the grocery store, and when I
went to pull my card out to pay
for the food in my basket, he
zipped over and ran his EBD
card.
>> Judge Judy: All right, are we
done?
>> And I offered to pay --
>> Judge Judy: I just want to
know -- Just tell me what else
you're suing him for.
>> Because he left at the end of
the show.
I did not tell him to leave.
You can ask my nephew.
>> Judge Judy: I'm not asking
your nephew anything.
Did you take any money out of
the cash box?
>> He left approximately --
>> Judge Judy: Did you take any
money out of the cash box?
>> He left approximately $100 in
the cash box.
>> Judge Judy: Good.
Now, you have some sort of a
ridiculous counterclaim.
You want to tell me what it is,
please?
>> Yes.
Since the events of this expo
had happened, Ms. Crumb has made
it her personal endeavor to
destroy my business.
She has destroyed my business.
I have been slandered.
>> Judge Judy: Just a minute.
Just a minute.
What kind of business?
>> It was a -- the -- the --
the -- the fish.
Sorry.
>> Judge Judy: But I thought you
weren't in business.
You were trying to get into
business.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: you were trying
to get into business.
>> I did have a DBA --
>> Judge Judy: What kind of work
do you do?
>> I have my pet store -- or I
had my store.
That's it.
>> Judge Judy: No, you didn't
have your store.
You were trying to open a store.
Do you collect public
assistance?
>> No, I don't.
I do receive food stamps and I
get medical and that is it.
>> Judge Judy: Good. All right.
Are we done here?
I'm done. Goodbye.
>> I have more to say.
My claim -- I have a $5,000
claim, and I'm asking for it to
be heard.
She has slandered me.
She has harassed me.
She has taken my business from
me, and the damage she's done to
me is irreparable.
>> Judge Judy: Actually, sir,
I don't know that because you
don't have any witnesses to
that, but I'm gonna take -- Not
your uncle.
I'm gonna take a look at what
you say she's done that was not
true.
And if it is slander, per se,
I'll hear you.
>> Also, I'm --
>> Judge Judy: Just -- Ah!
ge Jue
fighting with each other on
Facebook.
>> As a business, I had to --
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
You're fighting with each other
on Facebook.
>> Well, I don't feel it was
fighting.
As a business owner, I have to
protect my company.
We're done.
Goodbye!
