Text: The complaint alleged that on November 27, 1988, Cantrell owed a $702.21 hospital bill in Amory. He paid part, leaving a balance of $535.24 owing. On October 16, 1989, the bill remaining unpaid, the hospital turned the account over to a collection agency for collection. On November 7, 1989, when an employee of the collection agency was in Cantrell's office to file collection suits, Cantrell called her into his office, cursed an insurance company for not paying the bill, and told her he would pay it if the insurance company did not, and agreed to pay by the month. Thereafter, he failed to make any payment on December 1, and on the 15th Cantrell was again contacted by the agency. Cantrell went to the agency, got into an argument over the bill, and told the employee he did not think she could get a judgment against him, she would just have to sue. He later went to the hospital and told an employee she would have to come before him on a speeding ticket some day. He later paid the bill.
