Doomers may remember that I was on a televised panel on August 19 with Jay Butler of ASU Realty Studies and Stan Lund, President of the Arizona Association of Mortgage Brokers. While Lund is much more bullish on the market than I am, I found him friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Consequently, I can’t tell you how shocked I was to read this Thursday in the Arizona Republic:
A 48-year-old Buckeye mortgage broker and president of the Arizona Association of Mortgage Brokers was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman, police said.
The incident occurred nearly two years ago, but the case against Stanley Lund required extensive investigation with "multiple interviews and a lengthy analysis of forensic evidence," Buckeye officials said in a written statement.
Lund, owner of Peoria-based Lund Mortgage, assaulted a 35-year-old woman on Dec. 11, 2005, at his Verrado home in the 20800 block of West Lost Creek Drive, police said.
Lund was arrested at his home Tuesday morningon suspicion of one count of sexual assault, a felony. The circumstances of the alleged assault were not immediately available.
If he’s not guilty, that’s a horrible charge to deal with, and I wish him all the best. If he is, I hope they throw the book at him. For those of you who missed the show, here’s the video:
