Earlier Saturday, David Laguna, Schevelle’s husband, sent the following:

“I have first hand knowledge of Exotic Dancer’s Entertainer of the Year nominee, Miss G-String International Hostess, and Penthouse G-String awards Magazine winner Schevelle (real name Suzanne Luke) getting arrested in Loxie Alabama for marijuana possession with her husband – me.

In a plea bargain I took the entire blame for us to save her record but in a twist now she has left and I was fired from my stage mgr job/lights & special effects job with the Miss G-String International Pageant. To add insult to injury the pageant promoter is refusing to return my lights and stage equipment. I am consulting with Florida attorneys for legal action against the pageant and host Paradise lake Resorts to recover my equipment. Rumor is Schevelle is leaving the Adult industry for mainstream.”

A spokesman for the Miss G-String International Pageant quickly replied stating that Laguna’s comments regarding the pageant were false; moreover, that Laguna is not now, nor has ever been, employed by the organization.

“Any basic criminal background check will reveal that Mr. Laguna is required by the court to register his residence as a convicted sex offender,” the pageant’s response went on to say.

“Additionally, a simple check of the court records for Austin, Texas, will reveal that Mr. Laguna was additionally convicted last month of the felony offense of failing to register as a sex offender and sentenced to time served,” the response continued.

“Second, we have informed Mr. Laguna verbally and in writing the neither we nor the host venue are in possession of any property he owns. This appears to be a matrimonial property dispute regarding trade equipment purchased, owned and in the possession of Schevelle.

“It has come to our attention that Mr. Laguna has contacted several of Schevelles’s business associates in an attempt to blemish her good name. Unfortunately, it appears that you have inadvertently assisted in his subterfuge.

“You may wish to review her Petition for Divorce and subsequent application for a Temporary Restraining Order filed in Dallas County, Dallas, Texas, on or about August 3, 2009, before commenting further.”

I spoke to Laguna right after he had sent the email and before the pageant had time to respond. Laguna makes no bones about the sex offender part. Here’s his story:

“Schevelle and I were on our way to Florida [right before Memorial Day] to meet with the people from the Miss G-String International pageant,” Laguna explains.

“She was hired to do the hostess position and I was going to handle the stage. They were going to use my lights and special effects and I was going to manage the stage crew. In a dumb move on my part we got pulled over in a traffic stop in a podunk town in Alabama – Loxie. I got caught with some pot and both of us got tossed in jail. It was just outside of Mobile near the border of Florida.”

According to Laguna, the cops wanted to know if he was “a Middle Eastern person.” He’s Hispanic, and the cops also wanted to know if he had explosives in his van. Talk about profiling.

“Big time profiling,” Laguna agrees. “We were there for about three hours and they brought in multiple dogs. They found a little bit of marijuana in my suitcase.”

They were going to make bail but then it was discovered that Laguna had an outstanding warrant from Texas so they held him and released Schevelle. She went on to Florida in an attempt to salvage the contract while Laguna got extradicted back to Texas.

“It was a really, bogus bullshit thing,” he says. “I ended up sitting in jail for almost 60 days.” During which time he had conversations with his wife.

“She was trying to get my bond,” he states. “About a week and half before I got out we had a conversation. It was all good. We made a plea bargain in the Alabama-thing. They really wanted the van and they wanted the cash we had on us. They dropped all the charges against her if I would take a misdemeanor, 6-month probation unsupervised; take 6 months of drug tests and pay court costs. Mainly what they wanted was the van and the money. That was what the redneck sheriff had told me.”

Laguna says he took the blame for everything and Schevelle got away clean. Then, last month, she told him that she was going to get him out of jail, that she was working and everything would be cool.

“Then, boom, she just disappeared,” says Laguna, discovering that she moved out and took everything.

“She dropped my clothes off at my sisters and just disappeared.”

According to Laguna, he then contacted people from the pageant and the promoter supposedly told him Schevelle could go much further in mainstream but couldn’t have him around because of his criminal record.

”I got charged as a sex offender though I’ve never been convicted of any crime,” Laguna insists. “Texas has a weird law- anyone’s who’s had an accusation- they don’t have to be convicted- falls into the sex offenders list. This is from 1975 on.”

Laguna says he got yanked because of failure to register. He did go to court, though, and charges were dropped with no probation, no fine.
But now Laguna says the pageant promoter won’t talk to him and claims he doesn’t know where the equipment went.

“And he said he’d expose me as a degenerate and ruin me.”

“All my equipment was delivered there but I can’t get any of it back,” says Laguna. “Basically they told me to shove off and stay away. That’s kind of where we’re at. Now I’m trying to find an attorney in Florida who’ll help me get back my stage lights and all my equipment.”
