New complaint in Peggy Newton bankruptcy

An amended complaint in Diane Pine's challenge to Peggy Newton's bankruptcy asks that Ms. Newton not be rewarded for the alleged theft, fraud, and forgery that led to a debt of $291,041.78.

The complaint, filed last week in U. S. Bankruptcy Court, includes the federal indictment charging Mrs. Newton, Ms. Pine's former partner in Evergreen and Amber, a downtown Joplin business, with 25 counts of fraud and forgery.

In a response to the amended complaint, Mrs. Newton's lawyer, Norman Rouse, denied Ms. Pine's allegations and said she had filed her complaint too late.
