Cyril Parish, general agent, Continental Heritage Insurance Company, commented Wednesday on the civil lawsuit recently filed against him by Attorney Douglas J. Roberts Esq., on behalf of William Staubs – a.k.a. Cobra the Bounty Hunter.

Parish said he believes new information exists, and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office should conduct a fresh criminal probe into the facts and circumstances surrounding the bond revocation and violent arrest of Daniel Snodgrass by Staubs in 2009. 

Parish said if Staubs arrested Snodgrass in a deliberate effort to make the public believe Snodgrass murdered HaLeigh Cummings, it would be a criminal matter. “He could probably be re-arrested if he planned all this and tried to make him out to be a murderer when he wasn’t,” Parish said.

Law enforcement was suspicious of Staubs from the beginning and arrested him in 2009. He was charged with false imprisonment after he arrested Snodgrass with no apparent justification or permission. Depositions taken during that case show a State’s Attorney asked Snodgrass if Staubs mentioned HaLeigh Cummings.

Parish is beginning to focus on the motives of Staubs, and indicated new and emerging information would likely benefit investigators.

The lawsuit itself confirms Staubs was focusing on Snodgrass in relation to the missing child. “Snodgrass lived within only a few miles of the residence where the child had disappeared,” the filed Affidavit says.

Parish said he was contacted by Art Harris regarding Staubs’ high media activities involving the search for the missing child. Parish said Harris offered him information to be used against Staubs. “Art Harris called us out of the blue. He was scared of Cobra,” Parish said.

Another source purports to possess never before seen evidence and documents that will be indisputable as they demonstrate a cluster of corporations that merged to plan the arrest of Snodgrass. 

Parish said he believes this is a serious legal situation. “I guess I’ll have to re-contact Snodgrass’ attorney and all that,” he said.

Parish recalled his frustration the day Staubs arrested Snodgrass. “[I said] my God Cobra you should be going to jail for what you’ve done. Anybody else would be going to jail. You can’t just go arrest the guy because you think he’s guilty – you just can’t do that to people.”
