Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
Sorry, @BurritoTunnelMaintenance:, I'm a relatively new user, and didn't realize I shouldn't just add to your post above, rather than adding a new line and signing it myself. I've cleaned my edit up. I just came to say that:
Perhaps this will clear up a lot of what has been discussed here. I am someone who knows Scot Kerns, and he asked me to write a Wikipedia article about him, essentially because I know how. Knowing what I know, I don't think that Lauriehensley is a sock puppet, but that is the name of someone else he knows. Kernsds would seem to be Scot himself. If I have done something wrong, I apologize. I tried to make all potential conflicts of interest clear, and to state only objectively true information. messor (talk) 04:25, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In 2022, Kerns was convicted of a first-offense DUI following a September 2021 arrest when he was discovered sleeping in his car with an open beer bottle within arm's reach by police. According to the affidavit, Kerns was also charged and convicted of obstructing a peace officer. A witness had seen Kerns driving his car while it was loaded with beer bottles, running over a curb, and coming to a stop in the Smith's Food and Drug parking lot in Great Falls.
