The affidavit
This is the sworn document a judge relied on to sign the warrant for Travis Abadie’s arrest. It is a public record, and it is the reason every other page on this site exists.
It goes up here for one reason: everything said on this site can be checked against it. If we describe it wrong, you should be able to catch us.
What we actually have
Two pages. That is everything Travis was handed. We do not yet know how many pages the complete affidavit runs, and the full clerk’s file has been requested. The blocked-out areas — the affiant’s name, the co-defendant’s name, the vehicle tag, and an address — are redacted in the copy as it reached us. Nothing else has been altered. The pages below were split apart, straightened and levelled for legibility, and the unmodified original is kept alongside them.
The post it quotes
The affidavit quotes a post reading “Flock on the corner of Main and Airport is down. Love to see it.” Travis posted about the camera twice that evening: that one in a local community group, and the one under the photograph at the top of this site, on his own timeline at 7:56 pm.
Both are his. Both are still up. Neither has been deleted or edited. We are spelling this out because an earlier version of this page set the two texts side by side as though the affidavit had misquoted him. It had not — it quoted the other post. We were wrong, and correcting it here rather than deleting it is the point of publishing the document at all.
What it says, in summary
The affidavit describes surveillance video from the store at 248 Main Street: a vehicle entering the lot at 7:38 pm, a person shaking the camera’s support pole until the camera fell at 7:42 pm, and the vehicle leaving. It identifies Travis from prior encounters and from a post on his Facebook account showing the camera on the ground. It states that he “made no effort to stop” the damage, and it supports the over-$1,000 felony threshold with a statement that the Sheriff’s Office Flock liaison estimated $3,000 to replace the camera.
It does not allege that Travis touched the camera. It does not mention that the same video shows him at the fuel pumps. It does not attach an invoice.
