Despite pleas to contribute to his mounting legal fees, a defiant Al Piggley is still in jail unable to make bail.
The plea was put out on social media pages as well as advertised in local news blogs and at Town board meeting by his son, Piglet, who as councilman is embarrassing the board by breaking his oath of office to uphold the laws not break them.
A total of 100 or so zoning and building violations, which accrued during the past ten years, has led to a monumental legal battle between the town of Shandaken and Piggley.
Boasting that he has more money than God, Piggley filed lawsuit after lawsuit against the town with the assurance that his loyal customers would help him defend his ill-conceived, brain-addled actions.
Piggley was arrested after defying a stop work order on April 1st.
Piggley reportedly spit and snarled at the press saying, this is not the first time he has been arrested or spent time behind bars, referring to the infamous meat scandal of the 80's.
Polled customers responded that they were loyal to low prices and that Piggley had different prices for different people.
" Apparently he really stuck it to people who were dressed nicely or drove a nice car," stated a woman who shopped for salami, "I guess he should have been nicer to them and not cheap ones and uneducated like me."
Handover customers were able to scrape enough money together to erect a sign in remembrance.
