Mrs. Newton listed more than $320,000 in debts and $3,778.85 in assets.
Under personal property, she listed two TVs worth $200, a recliner, a $100 bed, a $100 couch, a dining table and two chairs, and a $25 microwave, along with a few other minor items.
Things must have improved over the intervening months. On an amended filing in November, Mrs. Newton listed the following:
-Six TVs worth $500
-Three recliners, $150
-One twin bed $100
-One queen bed $150
-Dining table and six chairs $75
-Kitchen table and chairs $150
-Microwave $25
-Refrigerator $200
Other items included a washer-dryer, three dressers, two small tables, 10 lamps, a set of patio furniture, and a $25 wine rack.
Also included in the November document were items that were owned by Mrs. Newton's husband, Brian, but which she controlled.
Though she listed no cars in the July filing, the November documents included a 2003 Escalade, a 2011 Toyota Avalon, 2004 Volkswagen Bug, and 2007 Chevy Truck, all located at her residence.
Also listed as being owned by her husband, but under her control were a watch and ring described as "advertisement for the jewelry store."
Her husband, of course, is an owner of Newton's Jewelers.

All Turner Report coverage of the Peggy Newton case can be found at this link.
This website is an atrocity to the rights and freedoms of people trying to ruin the name of a kind and generous soul. As for Diane Pine and her family they should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of the Newtons in first place, they know what I am talking about. D. P you are not a honest person, you have lived a lie and forced your past drug addictions and forfeiture of your Nursing License on many, so when you tarnish others think about your past!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for weighing in, Peggy....
ReplyDeleteI feel for Peggy and her family, as the people of Joplin love to hold themselves above others. I have known the Newton family for many years, they are a kind and caring family. There is a side to every story. Whether Peggy is guilty or not, it is not for me or anyone else to judge. I will pray for her and her family.
ReplyDeleteDon't judge the book by the COVER! We all have closets and the Newton's are not an exception. In this paticular Newton closet: Peggy had problems with credit theft, as an employee of Newton's Jewelers, before she married into the family. No fault of the Newtons, other than not seeing her for who she really is.
ReplyDeleteD.P.'s closet contents is not in question here and has no revelence to Peggy Newton's lack of ethics.
Peggy Newton has made the Joplin Business Community and other organizations, in her involvement, victims as well.
i know the newtons very well and they are wonderful honest people. there word is golden and they are a very kind family. i will be praying for them. everyone is innocent til proven guilty. i suggest everyone wait before jumping to conclusions.
ReplyDeleteIf you think Peggy is a nice person you don't know her every well that is all I can say!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll of you who support the Newtons as "kind, honest people" have obviously never had personal dealings with them. They are incredibly self absorbed and think anyone who makes less than them are lesser people in general. They put themselves above all others because of the money they have and are able to influence the Joplin media into never publishing damning things about them. They work hard to destroy the "little people" who are unfortunate enough to fall into their trap of being "kind and honest" until they find out what they really are. The Newtons will try to destroy anyone who questions their "perfection" and are evil!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. Ms Pine filed bankruptcy on evergreen and amber in June 2009. Im looking forward to the outcome. Ms. Pine needs her son to fabricate some more info stat! Such as w2 from her full time nursing in Texas. Ha that's a laugh since she was in Missouri 90% of the time. She ws so shocked, come on! People , if you own a business and claim to never look at the bank statements and take a home equity loan out on credit cards that were charged up, wouldn't you think the woman is lying just a tad or just plain ignorant! Im guessing both! I worked at the bank where Ms. Pine made most of the deposits! Ha! I think we got ourselves a liar!
ReplyDeleteRandy, given that some of these comments are libelous if not true, and even then you know from harsh experience that you don't want to have to deal with that sort of thing, you should consider setting up a DMCA contact and register with the Copyright Office if you haven't done so already.
ReplyDeleteThis blog posting provides some details on the process.
Hmm, it doesn't sound like "deposits" were the problem... Miss Smart Bank Employee, it was the debits you should have been looking at, apparently!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why she didn't list her husband's Corvette and Harleys?
ReplyDeleteThe hateful comments about Diane Pine's character are pathetic,and an obvious attempt to deflect blame. Peggy Newton,not Diane Pine,is the person indicted by a federal grand jury on 25 counts of fraud & forgery. The only thing Diane did wrong was to trust a friend who then betrayed her. This is a sad situation all around. There will be a trial, and all of the facts will come out. Until then most of these comments are speculation & nasty gossip.
ReplyDeleteAs for the "anonymous" postings...if you cannot own up to your comment then perhaps you shouldn't be writing it.
Catherine, I agree with you on the facts coming out at trial. It will be very hard for Peggy to work up a defense story on how her name was on over 400 fruadulent documents. The tactic of deflecting blame is something that Peggy has always been good at. The "gossip" has more truth than you know. Unfortunately, this trial won't cover all she has really done since she left the hog farm.
ReplyDeleteIt's truly upsetting to watch and read comments from people who aren't sure of the truth as of yet. I've known the Newton family for over 17 years and the put downs of the family, or shall I say jealousy, is completely unfounded. Most of you people commenting probably don't have a job, therefore, you sit back and insult people who've worked their entire lives trying to better themselves. Remember, its people like the Newtons that pay your welfare and food stamps. Without them, you' be even more worthless than you are now. And to the guy that thinks Brian has a corvette and Harleys, get with the times. He sold those years ago. Again, a perfect example of jealousy. If Peggy is guilty, she will pay restitution because that's the kind of people the Newtons are. Remember, Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Sounds like there are alot of you without sin in Joplin.
ReplyDeleteVery good comment Bob Haire! So sad to see people trashing the entire family because one family member may have done something wrong. The Newtons are very nice, hardworking, family loving people!
ReplyDeletehey bob haire,
ReplyDeleteread the first sentence of your own post (unless you're sure that it's TRUE that the people commenting are jealous, poor, and on welfare) and take your flawed logic elsewhere.
Bob, I make 80K a year and I think you are way off base with your immature assessment of the commentors. This isn't about jealousy it's about getting justice where it is overdue. For someone that has been involved with this family for 17 years you sure don't know much about the truth. Yes, on the outside they are kind and loving. However, if you treally knew what transpired behind the front door you'd wouldn't be so bold with proclaiming your friendship.
ReplyDeleteSorry Anthony. It seems I owe you an apology. I guess I didn't realize you lived behind the front door with the Newton family and knew all that went on there. Everyone is a critic, including me, as far as anonymous is concerned. Also, I'm not the type to end a friendship because that friend MAY have made a mistake. No Anthony, I think I'll remain bold and declare the Newton family as good friends and good people. By the way, what goes on behind your front door that no one knows about,Anthony?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, let me think......I got a ticket once for not wearing a seat belt. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteBob I have found if you live your life as God intented, "Do unto other as you would have them do unto you" that pretty much ensures that you will follow the BIG TEN, Commandments that is.
Honesty, integrity, and living within your means are always good rules to follow and they most always keep you out of trouble.
Bob, I comment you for your loyalty!
Thank you, Anthony. Keep living the good life we all strive for. However, I hope you meant commend!!
ReplyDeleteYes that was a typo.
ReplyDeleteCommend is correct.
lol!!!!that guy was bragging about making 80k a year!!!! the newtons are a good family and anyone that knows them knows that!!!
ReplyDeletealso funny, because her husband doesnt have a vette or harley!!! and funny guy proud that he makes 80,000 a year!lol!!!
ReplyDeletesounds like anthony is a saint that makes 80k a year!!lol!!!
ReplyDeleteAll of you need to get a life. Your grown ups and your acting like pathetic children. We dont know the Newtons you say? Oh sure we dont consdering that their in my family. You dont know what goes on in her life so you have no reason to judge her. You have no reason to judge Mrs.Pine either. Even though i think that Mrs.Pine is falsely accusing Peggy doesnt mean that i get on the internet and talk about her. Grow up guys. Adults are supposed to be more mature than children. So before you guys say anything else about peggy or diane, think!Put yourself in their postion. The Newtons are a kind and loving family. if you dont think so keep your opinions to yourself because know one wants to hear them.
