    Clickbait trash. He’s been avoiding getting served for a few weeks, and soon the court will allow to serve his mom instead, and nothing has been achieved. Hooray.

      Eh, him going on the news talking about it will likely stand as evidence that he knows he’s being summoned.

        I thought you have to be able to read the full summons to be legally considered as received. Not too familiar with US law though.

        Where I’m from there’s a way of a public delivery if someone absconded, by posting it on the black board of the local city hall of someone’s current registered address for 4 weeks or something.

        If they failed to change the registered address they’d also be committing a federal crime, so if they were to contest the lawful delivery, they’d admit another offense, landing them in jail where they could then be successfully served. So that would at best reset the timer at the expense of a felony.

          I’m no expert on the process, but I’m pretty sure as long as the process server can attest that the papers were produced to the person being summoned. You don’t have to read it at all… The process server can just drop them in front of you and say “You’ve been served”.

          I know that if you can’t be found alternate mechanisms exists, but usually requires attempting to exhaust all other avenues.

          But the dude literally outright told the news he knows about it. I’m pretty sure that would be more than sufficient for the court to state that whatever mechanism they used to serve him was sufficient since he knew about it.
